 Yavneh Board

I am a Junior in GS planning on studying Economics. I’m from a small town in NJ that no one has ever heard of called Manalapan. I enjoy playing sports and following the New York Giants and Yankees. I’m honored to be the VP Chesed and can’t wait to help make this community even better!

Shalom, shalom! I am a Junior in CC studying Middle Eastern Studies. I transferred last year, and I am so excited to be back in my original stomping grounds, NYC! I spent a year in Israel after high school doing sherut leumi where I developed my love for Israeli street food, public transportation, and, of course, Jerusalem sunsets. I can't wait to meet all of you!

Hello Yavneh! I am from Lawrence, NY and I'm now a Barnard sophomore studying computer science. On campus, you can find me spending hours at a time in Hewitt, running in Riverside Park, or studying on the 4th floor of Kraft. I'm so excited to meet and learn with you all!

I’m a Sophomore at Barnard studying Neuroscience and Behavior and I am psyched to be your new VP Shabbat Chag! Hailing from the small town of Merrick, NY I bring that out-of-town feel even though I live in New York. I love running and learning so you can either find me in the Barnard Fitness Center or the Beit Midrash in the Kraft Center (that is if I’m not pretending to do work at my corner desk in Lefrak). Come over and say hi!

Gabbinate

I am a Freshman in SEAS studying computer science. I was born and raised in the city that never sleeps, and I’ve never left because sleep is for the weak. In the rare moments I’m not in Hillel or LeFrak, I’m probably at a New York sporting event. If you ever want to talk about the Parsha, you can find me at the Bima on Mondays, Thursdays, and Shabbatot.

I am a Sophomore at Columbia hailing from Riverdale, NY. After spending a year in Migdal Oz, I am ecstatic to be following in the footsteps of just a few other Migdal Oz alumna and completing the journey from Migdal Oz to Columbia/Barnard to the role of Gabbait. I’m looking forward to an amazing semester(s) along with the rest of the Gabbinate and Yavneh Board!

I'm a Sophomore in SEAS studying Financial Engineering. I hail from the Five Towns, attended HAFTR High School and then took a gap year to live in Israel for a year at Yeshiva Torat Shraga. Basketball, piano, and chess are all hobbies I enjoy engaging in, even though I'm not too great at any of them!
