Jay Blumenstein met Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Yonah and Keren Blum back in 1997, when they lived in a small apartment on Manhattan’s 110th Street. Since then, he’s watched Chabad at Columbia University grow from a living-room operation out of a 400-square-foot apartment to a massive brownstone stuffed with students on a weekly basis. Over the years, Blumenstein has learned and laughed with the rabbi, and whenever they get together, they pick up right where they left off.
