Who Are
We?
Ayelet
Lindsay
Michael
Ayelet loves the Columbia/Barnard community, so much in fact that
it reminds her of Gan Eden. A First-Year at Barnard, she has put her dreams of
becoming a jammin' female Matisyahu on hold in order to devote herself to the
Beit Midrash now that she is a part of the committee. She considers herself
somewhat of a talmid(ah) muvhak(et) of Rav Yitz Twersky and would love to one
day see him return to our Shiurim line-up, but if she can't get that she would
at least like to see a little more breakdancing in the Beit Midrash... Ayelet
loves lemonade but is afraid of lemons squirting in her eye, though she has
assured us that this won't stop her from being a committed member of the BMC. We
are all looking forward to the great things she will be doing this coming
semester.
Lindsay is very proud to be a Southern Californian and is still in
denial when she wakes up in the morning and sees everything outside her window
covered in white. She thinks that "40 is not warm..." and wants people to, "stop
bragging about the weather when it's 40 degrees outside." Lindsay often laments
the fact that Barnard does not make whole-wheat pizza, but she thinks the tofu
in the salad bar is a good start. As a Freshman, Lindsay was scared of almost
every person in the school but Thank G-d she has grown out of her fears
and now comes to Kraft regularly. She really likes ice cream, especially
chocolate-chip cookie-dough, and she wants everyone to know that "I heart the
BMC"; look forward to her sporting the new BMC t-shirt this semester...
Michael's dream was to attend Barnard but he was rejected based on
gender qualification and instead settled for Columbia. "I plan to file a lawsuit
later this semester," were Emerson's comments, "there is discrimination and I do
not approve." Though you may not have detected an accent, Michael hails from
Memphis, Tennessee and contrary to popular belief he has never been on a farm
other than Shaalvim. Michael enjoys studying in the basement of IAB, treating
upperclassmen to meals at Hewitt, and sample-sales. He takes great pride in his
wardrobe which, at times, can actually be louder than he is, believe it or not.
We're happy to have Michael on the BMC, especially since he brings along the
same lively spirit to meetings as he does to Friday night Kabbalat Shabbat.
