Snow Other Flake Like Me

A

Serena Cooper ’22 reflects upon her involvement in various communities.

s a girl who has always lived in the center of the Memphis Jewish community, with my Jewish school a five minute drive and my shul a five minute walk, Judaism has become a staple part of my identity. Helping shape who I want to be religiously and morally, my Jewish community has provided me with the best role models to learn from. I recognize the kindness that fluctuates throughout, including the chessed that my mother and her friends give to one another when someone has a baby, needs meals made for the loss of a loved one, or a place to host a Sheva Bracha. This value of being there for each other has been instilled in me because of the community I have grown up in. Having friends and family that one can rely on is incredibly important and something I believe is unique to the community I grew up in. Later in life, I would love for my children to grow up in a community that hosts similar values, as it truly has shaped the young Jewish woman I am today.

Although my Jewish community has shaped my value system and given me many incredible opportunities, I have also taken it upon myself to find ways to strengthen the value system instilled in me through my interactions with other communities. One of the communities that I feel greatly a part of is Bridge Builders. Throughout my entire high school career, I have seeked opportunities like Bridges to learn more about and engage with students from backgrounds, ethnicities, and races that differ from my own. Through our interactions, I believe I have been able to become a more educated individual, while also coming to have an even greater appreciation of my own religion and values. As a past member of the Bridges Collaborate Leadership Council and a present intern for Bridge Builders CHANGE, Bridges has become a great part of my life. I joined this internship because I wanted to continue to make new relationships with others and advocate for mental health. I have learned how intersecting identities affect mental health, and have spearheaded mental health initiatives in Memphis public schools. Said initiatives have increased faculty support, mental health electives, and required excused absences for mental health days. The Bridge Builders community has become a safe space for me, as I feel like I can speak candidly among a diverse and empathetic group of peers.

Goldie Globe Issue 2

In addition to Bridge Builders, this past summer I learned more about myself through my work with special needs adults on Yachad Getaway. Every Monday of my freshman and sophomore year of high school, I had the opportunity to volunteer at a Special Olympics bowling program, during which my peers and I cheered on and created lifelong friendships with the incredible bowlers. After the school provided me with this opportunity, I decided that I wanted to continue to volunteer outside of school hours, creating relationships with those who are unlike myself. At Yachad Getaway, I enjoyed spending time with the participants and helping them play sports, sing and dance, and do arts and crafts. During this program, I cannot recall a time when I did not have a smile on my face.

I am so fortunate to be a member of a Jewish community that allows me to and supports me in growing as an individual. I am fortunate to have been shown how to do chessed and work to be the best person I can be. With the help of my Jewish community, I am now able to seek out opportunities to discover more about myself from a religious standpoint, and also as an individual in the world. Through organizations like Bridge Builders, Special Olympics Bowling, and Yachad Getaway, I have learned to be a responsible, enthusiastic, and understanding person. When I leave Memphis next year, there is no doubt in my mind that I will carry with me all that my Jewish community has taught me.

Serena hugs Miri, one of her participants.

No Two Snowflakes Alike Shoshanah Kaplowitz ’24 presents different research studies and findings that explain the uniqueness of every snowflake.

I

t is well known that snowflakes are unique. Every year there are around a septillion snowflakes that fall from the sky, so it's hard to believe that no two are alike.

Could all snowflakes actually be different from one another?

Snowflakes, also known as snow crystals, form when water vapor freezes into an ice crystal. In their most basic form, ice crystals seem to be the same, as they are all hexagonal prisms with symmetrical sides.

However, they have different proportions and characteristics. Branches grow on the corners of the hexagon, which is where most of the differences in patterns and shapes are seen. More vapor condences on certain snow crystals, making those snowflakes bigger.

Those extra vapors make the patterns seen in snowflakes. As snow crystal branches fall through the sky, they deal with different temperatures and levels of humidity. Through this process, the snowflakes collect different vapors, contributing to the difference in their branches. The only reason that branches appear identical is because they are exposed to the same humidity and temperature conditions at the same time.

However, it is these small differences that make the branches look different from e a c h o t h e r. W h i l e t h e i r differences are often barely noticeable to the human eye, every snowflake is different from its counterpart.

The likelihood of two snowflakes experiencing the same exact weather conditions at the same exact time is so improbable that the only time two snowflakes can be the same is in lab settings with tightly controlled variables. The way that snowflakes are made is unpredictable, down to the molecular structure of the water vapors that form the snowflake itself.

Snowflakes develop their shapes in three main ways: by Goldie Globe Issue 2

R E S E A R C H

faceting, branching, and sharpening.

They each do different things for a snowflake. Faceting is done when water molecules try to stick to the ice crystal, because the water molecules stick to the rough parts of the ice crystal better, and bond with them better than with smooth surfaces; these rough faces fill out and become smooth.

Another way that snowflakes develop is through branching. This happens when snowflakes grow quickly and want to expand. The corners of the central hexagonal prism are more prone to grow out first because they are more exposed to other elements.

They grow outward from the original hexagon, and the corners that come from that branch grow into even more branches. This tends to be very chaotic and result in asymmetrical snowflakes, but combined with the other processes it becomes beautiful.

Hannah’s Unique Take On Winter

I

Hannah Rovner ’23 expresses her disdain for the winter season.

have anxiously awaited the moment I would get to share with you all the many opinions I have about winter, and the time is finally here. My most controversial yet: hot chocolate is mediocre, even with marshmallows. The only good part about hot chocolate is the marshmallows, but once soaked in the disgusting drink, they are ruined. “But Hannah,” you might hypothetically object, “you’re probably making your hot chocolate wrong.” To that I would tell you that I have tried making hot chocolate in almost every way imaginable and not one of the times has it been worth all the praise it gets. Even the most acclaimed version of hot chocolate, melted chocolate in milk, barely stands up to the hype. While marshmallows undoubtedly add sweetness to the drink and make it a little more bearable, I still strongly disagree with those who talk about hot chocolate in all of its glory.

I also have to convey that snow is given way too much credit in the South. A couple of flakes on the floor is not snow! It is given so much hype and it isn't even that fun to play in. I know it's because we only get less than an inch every year, but still. You’d think we would learn that it’s not all that great. It’s too cold and it gets gross too quickly.

Sure, it’s very pretty to look at but only when it covers the grass, and most years the small blades of grass still poke out of the snow, ruining its pristineness. It throws the one good thing about snow out the window.

I can maybe empathize with the children who want the days off of school, but seriously, nothing makes up for the freeze you get as soon as you touch it. In addition, cold weather makes your car absolutely freezing. It takes a longer time to heat up and you have to scrape the ice off of it. It freezes doors shut and makes everything so much harder Hannah, disgusted unnecessarily.

Goldie Globe Issue 2

On top of all of that, winter sports are the worst sports. Coming from someone who doesn't like nor can play any sports, winter sports are the hardest and least worthwhile. They might be fun for a few minutes, but they slowly shrink into a pleasureless hole of misery.

Skiing is okay at first, but then you get cold and everything starts to hurt but you can’t stop because you’re in the middle of going down a mountain. You also fall a ton, which hurts, and is hard to get up from.

Sledding is the least egregious of all of them, unless you fall over. All you have to do is sit in a sled and maybe steer it. It’s not hard and can be kind of fun but once you fall off and snow touches you, you are done for.

Finally, ice skating is the worst unless you’re good at it.

If you aren’t, you fall all the time. It’s scary to be standing on little knives and not knowing what to do with yourself. It’s also terrifying when you fall since other people are wearing knives on their feet and you don't want to get run over. You could be a few seconds away from someone skating over your hand and slicing it open!

Overall, winter just isn't that great. It’s too glamorized in today’s media circus and I think we should treat it like any other season.

A Day In The Life of A Snowflake

C

Abby Rivera ’22 takes the form of a snowflake and explains her experience.

old, breezy, and beautiful, I am definitely a sight to see. People wait for me to come every year.

They can’t wait to feel me skip across their fingertips, taste me dance across their tongues, and watch me fall to the ground with my other snowflake friends. After reaching the ground, I have the ability to be formed into a wide variety of things. Being a snowflake is so wonderful! Seeing everyone dress so cozy brings warmth to my cold body. Being called beautiful and unique every day of winter is incredibly rewarding...

You want to see why? Let me take you on the most wonderful adventure ever!

Although I watch from above, the first fall of snow is always so beautiful. The minute the first snowflake falls from the sky, children rush outside in excitement. It

brings me so much joy that everyone is so excited to see my friends and I anxiously await the moment it is my time to fall. You’d think that a little snowflake would have no feelings, but I do! I love dancing with my friends and getting to experience winter, feeling the crisp air and hearing the crunchy leaves. Once the snow finally piles all up, all of my snowflake friends sing together. We sing the “Winter Song” and “Little Snowflake” which are two of my absolute favorites!

Becoming a snowman is my favorite activity, as I get to turn into the warm and friendly Frosty. I roll up into a ball and I get to play dress up, with a cone shaped orange nose, a warm fuzzy scarf, and a dashing top hat.

They give me fun names and make me other snowmen friends to enjoy the winter season with. They even take pictures with me!

What a beautiful time to be alive! While I do get a little jealous when the children choose to make a snowman without me, it is beautiful to see their cheerful smiles and love for winter. My journey as a snowman might be short or it might be long, depending on the length of the winter season. Despite my undetermined destiny, I enjoy all of my wild adventures. Whether it is rolling down the hills of town or resting on someone's roof, I get to spread smiles on everyone’s faces. As the wind blows, I peek through windows and watch families drink hot chocolate by the fire. It looks so enjoyable that I wish I could do it too! But, I definitely cannot do that; I’ll melt and no one wants that! I must make people happy, after all, winter is the most wonderful time of the year!

Snowflakes aren’t just small specs in the wind, we’re so much more than that. We bring joy to people’s lives and we make children happy during the winter season. We bring so much light to the world and I encourage you to step out into the snow this winter. If you don’t have snow where you live, you have to travel somewhere that does.

Do me a favor and please just dance with me this winter! I promise that you will not regret it.

P O L I T I C S

Are You A Political Snowflake?

Elizabeth Valeriano ’23 discusses the term “snowflake” as slang for the sensitive.

O

MG you get offended so easily, you’re such a snowflake.” The term “snowflake” has been thrown around quite often in the past few years to describe people who get offended more easily than the average person. Urban Dictionary, the most trustworthy dictionary available on the internet, defines “snowflake” as “A very sensitive person; someone who is easily hurt or offended by the statements or actions of others.” This word is often used to describe Millenials and Gen Zers, as they are considered to be some of the more sensitive generations. “Snowflake” is also commonly used to describe liberals, since many, not all, but many, can be seen as too sensitive when it comes to some of their political opinions.

A person might think, “Why is ‘snowflake’ the term used to describe overly sensitive people? Isn’t that a random word for it?” This might seem true at first, but when you think about it, “snowflake” is actually the best word for it. Snowflakes are very fragile and can crumble easily, and overly sensitive people can be described in the same way. Therefore, this name is very fitting.

Surprisingly enough, this isn’t the only way the word “snowflake” has been used, other than the obvious usage to describe the little bits of snow that fall when it’s cold out. The 2010s also isn’t the first time this word has been used to describe overly sensitive people or people who believe that they are more unique or entitled than others. “Snowflake” was used this way in Chuck Palahniuk’s book Fight Club from 1996. In this book, one of the characters tells other people "You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone, and we are all part of the same compost pile." Even before this book, “snowflake” was used in the ‘70s as a slang term for a black man who acted white, and it was also slang for cocaine. As you can see, “snowflake” was a slang term used several decades ago, but it was even used back in the 1860s during the abolitionist movement. This was the name for those who valued white people over black people and those who opposed abolishing slavery. It’s pretty clear that this was the term used since they valued white people more, and snowflakes are also white. As you can see, using the word “snowflake” to describe something else other than snow flurries is not new at all.

It’s pretty clear that “snowflake” is now used in a derogatory way. It’s most commonly used in arguments when one person feels like the other person is being too sensitive during the argument (and it’s often used when two people are arguing about politics). The funny thing about this is that when someone is called a “snowflake,” they usually get really offended by it. This just proves that person's point! How ironic is that? Another way this is used is when one person acts like they are more entitled than others and feels like they should be treated differently. When this happens, they earn the title of a “special snowflake.”

To try to prevent being called a snowflake, when you are having some sort of argument with someone, especially a political one, try not to act too sensitive.

You might truly feel more sensitive about that subject, but they can definitely tell and might try to insult you.

This is so they can throw you off even more so they can “win” the argument. If this is a name you would not want to be called, be careful and maybe try to end it before you can get too heated.

Just remember that if someone calls you a snowflake, it’s most likely not a good thing. And if you get offended by this term, I have bad news for you...you just might be one too (no offense).

Wacky Winter Myths

7

Atara Segal ’25 explores the validity behind winter related theories.

F

rom living in Canada my whole life, I have accumulated an incredible understanding of what it means to be cold because, and trust me when I say this, Canada gets cold. I’m not just talking about some breezy weather with a bit of chill in the air, I’m talking about snow. Lots of snow. Piles of shoveled snow as tall as my little sister, with roads that are so icy and slippery, you should just fly to Hawaii. Growing up in an area that experiences a beyond chilling winter, I have come to understand the many different theories relating to winter, some of which are true and some that are totally wack!

Going out with wet hair is going to make you sick.

I’m sure you’ve heard this one before. Whether it was from your grandmother, mom, or teacher, I’m sure nearly everyone has been told to dry their hair before going outside in the cold. Shocking to many, this isn't necessarily true. Although the actual act of going outside with your hair wet will not directly result in getting sick, it certainly helps your possibility of contracting a cold. A person does not contract a cold due to wet hair, but your immunity is lowered when your hair is wet in a cold climate, making it more likely

for you to catch a cold. So yes, I do advise the use of a blow dryer before you go out.

Now onto the Yeti. No, not the expensive insulated cups; I’m talking about the huge, white monster who lives in a snow-covered mountain. Also known as the “Abominable Snowman,” the Yeti has Himalayan origins and is thought to be located near Mount Everest. Some have reported seeing this creature, but many people have repeatedly argued that this is just a myth.

I’m not going to try to make you believe either way, but be careful next time you climb Mount Everest.

Another theory is that if you flush ice down the toilet, it will snow the next day. I could imagine the frustration parents feel when their children hope for snow days and decide to flush ice cubes down their toilets. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the chances of snow falling from the sky have nothing to do with your plumbing. In general, I wouldn't recommend icing your toilet bowl, especially not if the goal is to make it snow, but have fun I guess.

All weird theories aside, winter is an amazing season. One thing that isn't fake news, is that statistically, people are sadder in the colder seasons than they are in the warm ones. Having cabin fever isn’t ideal, and when people don’t leave their homes, they tend to be in a worse mood. So this winter, make sure to reach out to friends, plan fun activities, and check in on your fellow Canadians who might not be able to open their Atara photographed. front door due to the snow!

Individually Connected Becky Schubert ’24 connects individuality, as seen in snowflakes, to Jewish values.

I

n our society, it is almost impossible to live without being placed into a category, whether it's tall, short, female, male, etc. Society is a stickler for labels, and said labels put you in a group without any wiggle room. For example, one who gets good grades is smart and one who doesn't isn’t. That being said, Jewish people are grouped together as one entity. Despite the fact that we are a group of people who support each other, we are not all the same. Hashem created each person with their own distinct neshama, with no one alike.

Achdus, unity, is a very big idea in Judaism, but so is the importance of the individual. As opposed to grouping ourselves together, we view ourselves as individuals who contribute to the group.

In Pirkei Avot 1:14, it says “He [Rabbi Hillel] used to say: If I am not for me, who will be for me? And when I am for myself alone, what am I? And if not now, then when?” Through this quote, we come to understand the importance of recognizing ourselves as individuals, and learning to love ourselves before worrying about reciprocation from others. After becoming our own, we should take our individual talents and contribute t h e m t o t h e Je w i s h nation. This quote is showing us that both individuality and being a part of a group go hand in hand, as there is importance in living based on our own needs, but also as being a part of something greater than ourselves.

This idea of recognizing individuality within the group is also shown in the beginning of Sefer Bamidbar when Moshe is told to take a census of the people.

Moshe is commanded to take a census of the entire Isralite community “by the clans of its tribes, its ancestral houses, Becky expresses

T O R A H

Goldie Globe Issue 2

listing the names, every male, head by head.” The Ramban explains the wording of this to mean that while Bnei Yisrael has a general merit for being a part of the census, Moshe and Aaron also blessed each individual, giving each person an additional merit. We must recognize that to Hashem, we are not just another member of His people, rather each of us contribute to the growth of Klal Yisrael. Each and every person has an individual connection to Hashem. Each and every one of us brings something different to the table. Even at times when we feel like we are just another Jew in the mix, we should recognize our individual relationship with G-D. Furthermore, just like Hashem has a relationship with everyone and views each individual differently, so too we should look at a person for who they really are.

This winter, as the snow fell, I noticed the uniqueness of each snowflake. I recognized each one for its individual beauty. However, once each snowflake reached the ground, I acknowledged the white, fluffy floor beneath me. Similarly, as a Jewish nation we should work towards discarding labels by recognizing our peers as individuals who contribute to the growth of the entire klal yisrael.

e d e B a l i i l a ’ e s m pe Soup Reci

My Step-By-Step Instructions:

1.

5 cups of melted snow water! Just take it right from outside. Mmmmm!! It will be so delicious.

A “pinch” of salt. Most people like to pinch my rosy cheeks after coming back 2. from playing in the snow!

3.

1 carrot that you ripped off of Frosty the Snowman’s face. Don’t worry about Frosty! He’ll grow a new one.

Make sure to dice it up finely and put it in the soup pot.

4.

A splash of hot cocoa. This may seem weird, but it’s an absolute must in order to stay warm during the winter season. It’s also a personal favorite.

5. 2 chopped up mittens. You have to keep the soup warm somehow ;)

Goldie’s Guidance Dear Goldie, Lately, the weather has been all over the place! One day it's so hot and I feel like I can barely breathe, and then the next day it’s freezing and even snowing! This is ridiculous! I never know what I should dress for. I am either so cold I can’t move or I am so hot that I am sweating. Please Goldie, I am begging you to help me survive this awful winter.

Thank You, BrokeFreezer1030 Dear BrokeFreezer1030, After reading your question and thinking about it in depth, I have come up with three solutions to your problem of never knowing how to dress for the weather. My first answer is to bring a suitcase with you wherever you go. In the suitcase you should have jackets, t-shirts, and other clothes you think you might need. If it is cold, you can whip out a heavy jacket, and if it is too hot, you can take off your clothes and have a place to put it. My next answer is to have heating instruments and a cool towel with you at all times. When it is super cold outside, you can use your heating pad and hand warmers, and when it’s too hot, you can place your cold towel on your neck to cool you down. My last answer is to check the weather before you go outside. We all have phones and on these phones there is such a thing as a weather app. On this weather app, you can check the forecast. You should do this to assess how you should dress.

Top 7 Snow Sports 1

Figure skating is always an interesting sport to watch because of the unique routines the athletes plan!. During the Winter Olympics, I watch figure skating way more than I watch the other sports. I don’t know how the women can spin and spin without getting dizzy!

Alpine snowboarding sounds fascinating to watch. With special skiing gear, like a skateboard, athletes take zigzagging rails of snow at different speeds to cover a particular distance. The further you go without falling off the rail the better. This sport takes a lot of talent and skill, including balance.

3

Skeleton Sledding is a classic sport. Almost everyone does this when it snows near them. This sport is simple: you just grab your sled and go down hill! Even though when we go sledding we aren’t doing it competitively, it's still a lot of fun. One can never go wrong with sledding.

Snow Tubing is very similar to sledding. All you do is get on a tube and go down a hill. I don't have many opinions on this sport other than it looks really fun. I would love to be able to do this someday soon!

4

Slopestyle Snowboarding is skiing or snowboarding through a course consisting of different types of obstacles, including rails, quaterpipes, and jumps. While going through these obstacles, slopestyle snowboarders perform aerial acrobatics as well.

Speed skating is like track on ice, which definitely takes a lot of skill because track itself is hard enough! Speed skating is running on ice in skates so it's more slippery and you are more likely to fall. When the athletes speed skate, they are bent over at a 90 degree angle. I would be surprised if they don't have back problems.

6

Snow Tubing is very similar to sledding. All you do is get on a tube and go down a hill. This sport is extremely fun. If you want to go faster, all you have to do is find a steeper hill. My favorite part about this sport is that you don't have to be a professional to be good at it. Snow tubing is for everyone to enjoy.

Letter From the Editor Dear Readers, After intense snow storms and long-lasting blackouts, I am pleased to be publishing the second issue of the Goldie Globe. It is definitely fitting to be publishing this chilling winter edition considering recent events. A value in Judaism that has extreme significance is that of individualism. As explained in Becky’s Dvar Torah, it is of the upmost importance to recognize the individual amongst the whole. Throughout this issue, we decided to express this ideal in relation to winter.

In this issue, Shoshanah proves the qualities of each snowflake as unique to its own, and Serena explains how she is a snowflake, a part of a group but also special in her own way. Atara discusses many myths relating to winter, Elizabeth delves deep into a modern meaning of “snowflake,” and Abby creatively conveys her experience as a snowflake. Lastly, we have the return of Hannah’s Hot Takes, where she expresses

some of her controversial opinions about the winter season.

Our winter features include a yummy soup recipe

by Abby, one which I plan on making, and Goldie is back with advice on how to dress this winter. Speaking of, the top winter fashion trends in the GMSG are featured in this issue, along with the top 7 snow sports.

Lastly, the amazing artists of the GMSG are back so you can guess their snowflakes!

As I read and edit this publication, I recognize my incredible staff, as no one person’s writing is the same as her peer. As pen is put to paper, or keyboard to computer to be more modern, no one penmanship is the same. The individuality expressed through the words and artwork of each contributor to the Goldie Globe is what makes this publication so special.
