About Me

I’m an American journalist focusing on religion, race, and their intersection. I lived in Israel for several years and was a staff writer at Haaretz. I’m currently at work on a book about the African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem, also known as the Black Hebrews of Dimona, the largest organized community of African American expatriates in the world.

I have a BA from Harvard College in African and African American Studies and a MA from Tel Aviv University in Middle East and North African History. I live in Palo Alto, California with my wife and daughter.

Peace be upon you. שלום עליכם

My purpose was to see essentials, only essentials, nothing but essentials, and to guard against hallucinations. Things are not what they seem anyway.
