WELCOME

My most recent book, For Women and Girls Only. Reshaping Jewish Orthodoxy Through The Arts in the Digital Age, is an award-winning study of ultra-Orthodox Jewish women and those who have broken away from religious life, tracing how they mobilize the arts and digital media to challenge, negotiate, and reshape Orthodox worlds.

The book received the 2024 Jewish Music Special Interest Group Prize and was shortlisted for the 2025 Religion and the Arts Book Award by the American Academy of Religion.

​My research is moving toward medical anthropology, with a focus on pain and healing, and on the ecosystems of psychedelic practices among Jews. I examine how experiences of suffering, care, and altered consciousness reshape therapeutic, spiritual, and social worlds.​
