Raised in Norfolk, Virginia, I am a reform rabbi and have worked in the field of Jewish education for twenty-four years. I am the author of Honest Answers to Your Child’s Jewish Questions (URJ, 2006) a chapter in The Sacred Encounter (CCAR Press, 2014), and most recently The Baseball Haggadah: A Festival of Freedom and Springtime in 15 Innings (2015). I have had numerous essays published and posted in Better after 50, Kveller, Literary Mama, Mothers Always Write, Mamalode, Lilith.org, The Times of Israel, ReformJudaism.org, The Bitter Southerner, Parent.co/Motherly, Coffee+Crumbs, Moms and Stories, the Write Launch, read650, and Grown and Flown. For the past fourteen years, I have lived with my husband and three children in Westchester, New York, where I tutor bar and bat mitzvah students, drive little league carpools, and try to spend more time with the relatives I know in real life than on-line with my one thousand-plus new DNA relatives.
