The Four Questions – Caryn Alper

A special little corner of the Weekly News where we can get to know each other! Every segment features another member of the NHBZ community, who will answer (at least) 4 questions. Anyone connected to NHBZ is eligible! The person spot-lighted will select the next person and the questions. Hot potato comin’! First up:

CARYN ALPER

Caryn is a 4th Generation (maybe even 5th!) NHBZ Member. Currently serving on the Board of Directors, Caryn is also the Chairperson of the Public Relations Committee.

The Questions:

1. Who is your favorite Torah personality and why?

A: “I have an affinity toward Yitro because that was the haftarah portion I chanted for mybat mitzvah. But I’ll say Miriam because she was a caring and protective older sister, which is a role that I also take seriously!”

2. What is your favorite snack food?

A: “I’m an Elvis fan through and through: one of my favorite snacks is a banana with peanut butter.”

3. Three words that best describe you?

A: “Thoughtful, empathetic, and witty. (or just one word: modest. just kidding 😜)”

4. What inspires you?

A: “A deadline inspires me productively, music inspires me creatively, and my family and G-d inspire me morally.”

Thank you, Caryn, for getting us off to such a great start!
