Here you can explore a selection of my work and creative pursuits—from my journalism to my novels, from my contemporary Biblical portraiture to my musical and liturgical explorations.
Across these different forms, my work reflects a series of evolutions and reinventions: from an Orthodox high school student in Los Angeles, to partier in Tel Aviv (the inspiration for my novel, The Settler), to Zionist activist, to scholar of Bible and Jewish thought, and to motherhood—which has prepared me for the rabbinate (expected ordination: early 2027).
Go on this journey with me through these different, seemingly contradictory worlds, all woven together in my creative work, in the spirit of Abraham Isaac Kook’s insight: there are sparks of holiness in everything.
A Jewish adaptation of the contemporary worship hit “Counting My Blessings” by Shep Schlueter, a song about gratitude. This version include all the things we say we’re grateful for in the traditional “Birkot HaShachar” morning blessings. This is a homemade recording at the Liberal Jewish Synagogue, where it first debuted with fellow rabbinical student Dani Zekhry as part of the Darkeinu conference celebrating 100 years to the World Union of Progressive Judaism.
