Welcome!

I’m a freelance writer

Raised in the cornfields of New Jersey,

Educated in the wilds of Manhattan,

Based in Jerusalem, Israel.

Curious. Creative.

My interests include art, antiques, collectibles, and genealogy. My clear, engaging writing style–merging scholarship with enthusiasm–enlivens topics old and new. In addition to hundreds of print/online articles for publications across the US, Canada, Australia and the UK, I’ve written two social history books:

Between Galicia and Hungary: The Jews of Stropkov

Jewish Lives: Britain 1750-1950
