Grateful for the invitation, and for what turned out to be a wonderful conversation

Very excited for this!

Grateful for the invitation to deliver the Fishman Family Endowed Lecture at Vassar College in April www.vassar.edu/news/events/...

Grateful and a little surprised to see my forthcoming HLR Forum piece on vaccines and religious freedom included in Adam Liptak’s “What I’m Reading” in @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/u...

Honored to be speaking at this event. If you’re in NYC on March 10, it should be a great conversation. www.nyhistory.org/programs/def...

Glad they included this quote of mine: "say a teacher tries to teach the value of nondiscrimination against religion…and some parents have a problem…because Chapter 16 of Mark says that those who are not baptized are condemned” www.upi.com/Top_News/US/...

Very honored to be testifying at the invitation of the Minority at a congressional hearing on “Defending Faith and Families Against Government Overreach: Mahmoud v. Taylor.” I’ll post my written testimony on Tuesday.

[email protected]'s The Right to Exit Religion argues Wisconsin v. Yoder implicitly recognized a right to exit religion that states/courts do not do enough to protect, leaving it superficial & hard to effectuate. He uses NYC’s Hasidic community to show state-aided barriers to exit.

I wrote a reflection on my friend Rabbi Eli Schlanger, murdered in Sydney a week ago. (Gift article, scroll down). www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Something I wrote. @theatlantic.com @yappelbaum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

"The High Holidays are a call to temper our certainties, to confess our arrogance, and to recognize that courage and wisdom are found not in silencing disagreement but in learning how to live with it," @zalmanr.bsky.social writes. https://wapo.st/424oNZP

Today’s WaPo opinion page strikes a conciliatory tone with columns by @shadihamid.bsky.social and @zalmanr.bsky.social. Crucial reading in this fraught moment, when people are being silenced in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s killing and the potential for more political violence has risen exponentially.

What a surprise while casually reading Linda Greenhouse’s latest…Blushing! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/o...

Honored to contribute in a small way to @adamliptak.bsky.social (as always) superb reporting in the @nytimes.com today (rb.gy/kfqhfn)

My job market paper has finally been published! So grateful to so many for helpful conversations (@micahschwartzman.bsky.social @samuelmoyn.bsky.social @katieeyer.bsky.social @sherifgirgis.bsky.social @nelsontebbe.bsky.social @williambaude.bsky.social and others not on Bluesky) shorturl.at/cEnTS

Thank you @lsolum.bsky.social!

Thank you, @lsolum.bsky.social! Just for some context, this is a short essay in an edited volume of conference proceedings published in 2019. Finally uploaded it to ssrn. 😊 In it, I draw on Nietzsche’s myth of science.

A piece by Zalman Rothschild based on his personal experience — and a call for basic education to protect a fundamental right to exit.
