This post begins my stint as a CampusJ beat reporter for Yeshiva College. You may have read my work in the Forward, where I’m a frequent contributer, or on Jewschool or Mimaamakim. I spent this last summer researching local politics for the Village Voice, but my first love is arts and culture. To that end, I’m the Arts and Culture editor at the Yeshiva University Commentator.
I’m using my beat here to generate insights, reporting, and news about Yeshiva University. As the stronghold of Modern Orthodoxy, this institution deserves a closer, more critical look than it usually gets. Feel free to call to my attention issues that you feel haven’t been adequetely explored. And enjoy.
