Since entering college, I have transferred universities once, transferred Northwestern schools twice, taken off a year and a half to go to yeshiva in Israel, and changed my major something like 19 times, with repeat performances of English, Film and Philosophy, although Political Science, History, Human Rights and Psychology have also gotten in the mix. And also, in the last year, I’ve been working on becoming what you’d call an “orthodox” Jew.
Let’s say I have wanderlust, or maybe I’m indecisive or at war with myself. On the other hand, I’m from LA, so at heart I really just want to chill out. But really, what I want to do is to help create a community in which people are engaging each other in thought. So, that’s why I’m here, and I hope you — whoever you are — and I can do that together.
