Just arrived in the mail! My new book, "Embodying the Revolution" is here. If you're into sports, Hebrew culture, or how the "New Jew" was forged, this is for you. @rutgersupress.bsky.social #newbook #history

Excited to kick off this year’s Jewish Culture Forum with Josh Lambert online, Sept 18! He’ll be diving into Jews, Nazis, and video games — a mix too fascinating to miss. Link and description below events.ucalgary.ca/event/495836...

Excited to share that my book Embodying the Revolution will be out this October with Rutgers UP! It explores the surprising marginalization of sports in Israeli culture—and how Zionisim shaped the Jewish experience in interwar Palestine. (photo AI, link below)

This Tuesday (May 27) at 12 PM Calgary / 2 PM EST: Join me and Dr. Roni Cohen for the kickoff of the Jewish Culture Forum! We'll dive into medieval Jewish humor and parodic takes on the Talmud and Bible—long before modernity. On Zoom, open to all. Reg link: ucalgary.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

I really enjoyed reviewing Alianov-Rautenberg's "No Longer Ladies and Gentlemen," which explores German Jewish immigration to Palestine. It's beautifully written, full of rich anecdotes, but like many in the field, it often overlooks a historical shadow—or perhaps we should say light.

Today's the last day to download my book for free! You can read it anytime. If you're into history, Jewish culture, emotions, and more, you'll find it intriguing. Don't miss out! doi.org/10.1017/9781...

Some time ago, I watched an engaging evening with Simon Schama discussing Tolstoy vs. Dickens. The English novelist lost. However, I believe no one could have guessed his legacy would be tarnished so quickly.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLXp...

Universities are in crisis. We have forgotten that the only way to prepare for the future is to imagine the human in situations yet unknown and to explore the boundaries of the human condition. A focus on economic gain loses sight of all that might be possible.
