Tell me about leading Friday night services during Family weekend (10/9)

It was just a great experience. It was good because I only lead for my bar mitzvah, so it was kind of nice to lead again even though its five years later.

What did you do to prepare?

Youtube videos. I listened to all the prayers on youtube and played them over and over. I also had Lauren [Wisterich] record the tunes on my phone. So every time I went running that day, that week, I would listen to the awesome prayers in my head. It really motivated me to run.

If you could meet anyone in the world (dead or alive) who would it be and why?

“Cassadee Pope, she’s a country singer. [Are you a fan of hers?] “Oh yeah. I’m in her lyric video.[Really?] “Oh yeah you should watch it one day” [How???] “I’m good” [Check it outhere, he’s at approximately 2:16]

Have you been to Israel?

I have once with my family for my younger sister’s bat mitzvah, for two weeks. And then I’m going on birthright this winter!

If Hollywood made a movie about your life, who would you like to see cast as you?

I’d totally go with Leham Nissan. All those Taken movies, they’re pretty cool. Although I wouldn’t want to be his daughter, being taken all the time. [What about him do you like?] I like how he talks. He’s very intimidating. [Are you intimidating?]  I don’t know about that. [Would you like to be?] Yeah that’d be cool.

If you could witness any historical event, what would you want to see?

Let’s go with the civil war. You know you always learn about it, but wouldn’t it be cool to actually experience it. Oh you know what would also be cool? When they invented the computer. For World War II [the code breaking computers]. That would be pretty cool to see how people lived.
