About Me

After growing up in Buffalo, NY, I spent a year studying in Israel at Hebrew University and working as a gardener on an Israeli kibbutz. In May 2008, I graduated from Brandeis University cum laude with a BA in Near Eastern & Judaic Studies and Computer Science. I decided to remain at Brandeis to pursue a Masters degree in Judaic Studies, focusing on the history of Zionism. I received my Masters in May 2009, and am pursuing a Ph.D. in History at UCLA.

Research Interests

My research interests center on Zionism and its critics. I wrote my masters thesis on anti-Zionist American Council for Judaism and the intellectual and organizational forces that secularized this originally Reform Rabbinical organization. I am also deeply interested in the thought of Simon Rawidowicz, and I plan to continue my research on Jewish nationalist thought that has been subsumed into Zionism as well as the relationship between Jewish life in 19th century Russia and the Yishuv.
