I'm a writer based in Brooklyn. My reporting runs on Chabad.org News, where I've filed more than sixty stories: from the Bondi Beach attack and its aftermath in Australia, to missile nights in Israeli bomb shelters, to the small, strange joys of a menorah lighting in Prudhoe Bay.
Away from the news desk I write newsletters: dramatized sketches from my own life, travel diaries, and an ongoing attempt to name the patterns I keep noticing in people. I also write poems and short stories, some of which live here.
I shoot film. The photographs on this site are scans from negatives, mostly black and white, mostly of the places I pass through.
And I build things. Lately that means data-heavy little web apps made with a lot of help from AI tools: a grave-finder map for a cemetery in Queens, a reconstruction of a medieval Polish town. The projects page has the details.
