Favorite City outside of Jerusalem: I don’t really have one
Yeshiva/Seminary Attended: Beis Yakov Seminary
Occupation: Student, finishing up my second year of BY Seminary
Interests or Hobbies: I’m an avid Harry Potter fan, and I really enjoy fantasy literature. I also love learning anything and everything to do with Judaism, especially Chassidut and random ideas.
Favorite Music: I love love love Israeli music, of any genre. If it’s from Israel, I’ll probably like it. Aside from that I like random songs here and there, ranging from Celtic and Irish songs, to cheesy 90’s love songs. I also like some Jewish stuff, too.
Favorite Book: I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy! And the Harry Potter series, of course. Out of the Jewish things I’ve read, I suppose my favorite sefer so far has got to be Shmuel Bet, and only because my teacher makes it an amazing read :)
Freestyle description: I’m a fairly quiet person, but once you get me started on something I’m passionate about, it’s impossible to shut me up. I tend to babble a lot in those situations, and it gets a little silly eventually. I love being Jewish and I love the land of Israel even though I haven’t been there since a family visit 13 years ago. I went to secular Jewish schools for most of my life, and then to a 2 year college here in Montreal. Somewhere along the road I became observant and then decided to attend seminary. I ended up in Beis Yakov Seminary; a place that does not portray my belief system or my personality. I’m just there for the awesome Jewish education I missed out on before. I’ll be a Seminary graduate in a month, and next semester it’s off to university!
