Aaron is a sophomore studying electrical and computer engineering, unless he ends up majoring in computer science, which is seeming more and more likely by the week. He hails from Teaneck, NJ, and went to Frisch and Yeshivat Har Etzion, making him the one of the most in town Jews in the CJL. Until you get to know him, of course, in which case you'll learn he's just out of town as everyone else. In his free time, Aaron likes to learn Torah, take pictures, learn חזנות, and fall down the slope on his bike. Aaron is extremely excited to be on the CJL board and cannot wait for what the future has to hold.

Jonathan Sacolick is a freshman from Long Island, NY, studying mechanical engineering. Jonny has many hobbies, including, but not limited to, spending way too much time making his spreadsheets look nice, drinking chocolate milk, playing piano, and not doing his homework. If you're ever looking for Jonny, there are a few places you might find him: on the engineering quad, in the 104 lounge, chilling in the CJL House, or sleeping on the CJ-Couch with his zebra blanket and the CJ-Elephant. Jonny hopes that through his house managing, he can continue helping to keep CJL the warm, welcoming home that it is to him and so many others.

Estee is a sophomore from Miami, Florida studying Cognitive Science. When she is not at dance practice for her Bollywood dance team (go Cornell Sitara!) or crying over the fact that she's not a Hotelie (only a few times a week), you can find her locked in and sipping a matcha latte at the Olin Cafe. With a year of seminary under her belt, she is passionate about strengthening the Jewish community at Cornell. That's why she has chosen to take on the position of treasurer to help ensure the community has what it needs!

Gabriel is a junior majoring in Hotel Administration with a minor in Real Estate. When not doing incredibly top secret Hotelie things, Gabe can be found out on a sail boat on Cayuga lake, or in one of the many basketball courts across Cornell’s campus. If he’s not reading on the Ceej couch, just follow the cries of “Put on a coat!”. As a part-time bartender, winter enthusiast and proud Patriots fan, Gabe has truly embraced his Bostonian heritage.

Karen is a junior studying Computer Science in the College of Engineering. You'll often find her studying all around the CJL house. Aside from the studying, she loves exploring her creativity through drawing, baking, writing, and crocheting (sometimes you'll see her with lots of yarn at the CJL). She absolutely loves the CJL and is glad to have memories there to add to her scrapbook, and she looks forward to adding many more! ​

Ezra is a sophomore from Brooklyn, NY studying Government and Jewish studies. He is very enthusiastic about bagels, with a classic lox and cream cheese as his go-to! He loves soccer and baseball, supporting Arsenal and the New York Yankees as long as he can remember. He also loves to travel, having been to 25 countries. At Cornell, he spends the bulk of his free time at the CJL, playing Wii bowling in the basement and chatting with friends. He hopes that the CJL will bring meaning to so many more as it has brought meaning to him.

Raphy is a first year, pre-med, psychology major from Los Angeles. He thoroughly enjoys three things and three things only: 1. Star Wars, 2. Tennis, 3. Adin's forehead.

Adin is a sophomore from Long Island studying Electrical and Computer Engineering. When he’s not out doing something for CUAir, Adin can be found trying to do work in 104 or roaming the CJL making trumpet sounds. While he loves building and flying drones, his true aspiration is to one day join the National Potato Council. Adin is elated to be on the CJL board and is excited to bring meaning and fun to the CJL as a Religious Programmer.

Benj is a sophomore studying Electrical and Computer Engineering in the College of Engineering. He is an outdoor enthusiast and loves any opportunity to get outside and hike or ski (when he's not working on p-sets in upper 104!) He is a passionate Denver Broncos fan, and looks forward to any opportunity to grill a steak. He has found a home and a family in the CJL, and is excited to serve this community!

Gavin is a sophomore in Dyson from Great Neck, NY. He is a proud Mashadi Jew and loves sharing his culture with the rest of the CJL community. He loves playing volleyball, watching football, and listening to rap/R&B music. He is very excited to bring new social events that extend to the broader Cornell Jewish Community. Feel free to reach out with any event ideas!

Matthew is a Sophomore studying Food Science in CALS. He is also the president of Shevach, Cornell's conservative minyan (ask about it!). When he isn't studying organic chemistry, he's usually playing piano in the CJL or explaining how mayonnaise works.

Giselle is a sophomore from Great Neck, majoring in industrial and labor relations. She is involved in many Jewish organizations on campus, including the CJL, Chabad, the Sephardi Mizrahi Council, and most notably, the SJL. In her free time, she enjoys playing pickup basketball, reading and writing essays (ILR core), and calling her beloved grandmother.
