CJL Board

Ariel Altaras is a junior in the SC Johnson College of Business, studying Applied Economics and Management. He intends to concentrate in finance in the Dyson School and minor in real estate from the Cornell Baker Program in Real Estate. After graduation, Ariel plans on joining Credit Suisse USA as a research analyst in their Global Markets division. Ariel grew up in Clifton, NJ and spent a gap year in Israel at Yeshivat Har Etzion (Gush). He is excited to serve on the CJL board as your co-president and hopes to improve Jewish life on campus by running new large-scale events that appeal to all parts of the community. Ariel looks forward to meeting you, and is happy to answer any questions you may have about Cornell and the CJL!

Ilene Boetger is currently a Junior studying Food Science hoping to produce your next favorite food item on the shelf. While she enjoys talking about agriculture from her time growing up in the Horse Capital of the World (Ocala, FL) and judging things from vegetables to chickens, she also enjoys reading, watching movies, and outdoor activities. More than that though, she can’t wait to continue fostering a growing and welcoming Jewish community at Cornell. If you ever have a question about Cornell or Jewish life on campus or want to hang out, make the trek out to Stocking Hall where you’ll find her chowing down on ice cream, no matter the temperature outside, or anytime when you’re at the CJL or 104West!

Jenny Rosen is a sophomore majoring in Materials Science and Engineering. In her little free time, Jenny likes to do gymnastics, make food, and eat said food. She is honored to be on the CJL board for a second time as VP Communications and can't wait to see what this year has in store! Please feel free to contact Jenny with any questions you have about the CJL or about Cornell! She is more than happy to help in any way she can!

Daniel Maron is a sophomore studying Communication in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. In his spare time, Daniel can be found binging The Office for the seventh time, reading children’s books in the Piano Room on Friday nights or blowing up balloons in 104!. Feel free to email him if you have any questions or are looking for some fresh Netflix recommendations.

Chanan is a quaint fellow- often spotted at a board meeting of some sort or studying in the CJL with his handy white board. Chanan’s hobbies include watching YouTube videos of various chassidic farbrengens (see YouTube for explanation), playing sheshbesh, and supporting the LA Lakers. After Chanan graduates with degrees in Economics and Near Eastern Studies, he plans on moving to a remote kibbutz in Israel and pursuing a career as a chassidic sheshbesh master.

Jacob Mitrani is a Freshman hailing from Florida and heading to Israel. His pit stop in Ithaca is based on his desire to learn (though the subject of his learning is yet to be decided). You can find him at NCSY and BBYO Alumni events or at the nearest tisch.

Jason Lieberman is a sophomore AEM in the dyson school of business. Jason can be found around the CJL making small talk or talking about the Titans. Jason, unlike his 5 towns persona, was born in Tennessee and currently lives in the land down under, Florida. Jason also enjoys talking about business, Judaism and football. Jason looks forward to doing the treasurer business for the CJL and for being a board member for this upcoming year

Evi Baer is a Sophomore in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, studying Biology and Society. He's a man of many talents: a former achapella singer, Rambam Mesivta's finest Yeshiva bachur, and an EMT. Since transferring from Binghamton, he's quickly taken the campus by storm. When he's not saving lives as an EMT, he's killing people (on an Xbox)! He also likes watching Football, Cornell Hockey, and chilling with friends in the CJL. He looks forward to serving the CJL community as Treasurer and as a board member!

Orrin’s existence is the resistance against the persistence of the insistence that distance is consistent.  Feel free to let him know if you have any cool ideas to improve the house.

Ethan is from Westchester County. Ethan likes writing in 3rd person and fried food. Don’t break stuff. Thanks.

Rebecca is a Nutritional Sciences major in the college of Human Ecology-- but NOT pre-med!  Unlike her co-VP Social who loves meat, Rebecca is a vegan (but not one of those vegans).  She can often be found in 104 West studying/talking to people because studying is much more fun when you are surrounded by friends.  In her free time, Rebecca enjoys practicing yoga, reading cookbooks, and going on spontaneous outings with her friends.  Rebecca loves the CJL and is very excited to be on board!  

David, also known as "DSY" and "Yashgur" is in the CJL. David is most proud of being able to go to daily morning minyan now that he lives in 106 West. As a bio major pre-med, David can often be found doing work, but he is always down to play Rummikub (even if it’s not shabbos. David is known for telling people he has a new major and then dropping it. David bought a pull up bar for the Cjl that has not been touched since the week it was installed. Some other interesting facts about David: he is Russian (even though he was born in America), his favorite form of online communication is Facebook messenger, and he used to also be a computer science major. In his free time, David enjoys playing chess, and hanging out with his co-VP Social.
