Senior Writer, Kveller

I am a senior writer at Kveller, where I write about Jewish pop culture and lifestyle — from the latest Netflix’s series to the very Jewish name a celebrity gave their baby, to the surprising Jewish stories of songs like “Over the Rainbow” and “God Bless America,” and Borscht Belt nostalgia.

Through the years, I’ve gotten to talk to Debra Messing about her bat mitzvah, Mayim Bialik about the power of the shema, Seth Green about his days in Jewish summer camp and Kyra Sedwick about the power of Jewish mothers.

An award-winning writer, cartoonist and illustrator, I live in a tchotchke and art-filled home in New Jersey, with my husband and two children who always wonder why their mom watches so much TV when she’s supposed to be working.
