My first encounter with Chabad couldn’t have been more telling of how my experience at Binghamton would play out. A weekend visit during my senior year of high school not only turned out to be Shabbat 1000, an event I would end up co-chairing my four years here, but also the same weekend that one of my now closest friends also happened to be visiting.
Not only have I found an amazing group of friends through the Jewish community here at Binghamton, but I have also been lucky enough to have established an amazing relationship with both the Slonim and Creeger families. Their warmth and generosity have not only enriched my college experience but have made a huge impact in my life. My involvement in Chabad activities, events and classes have taught me more than I could ever have imagined. I know that even though I will not be close by, I will still have a family in Binghamton. Words can not begin to describe how much I want to thank you for everything you have done for me.
