My most recent book, For Women and Girls Only. Reshaping Jewish Orthodoxy Through The Arts in the Digital Age, is an award-winning monograph about ultra-Orthodox Jewish women artists and those who have broken away from religious life. It traces how they mobilize the arts and digital media to challenge, negotiate, and reshape religiosity. 

The book received the 2024 Jewish Music Special Interest Group Prize and was shortlisted for the 2025 Religion and the Arts Book Award by the American Academy of Religion.

​My research increasingly engages medical anthropology, focusing on pain, healing, and the ecosystems of psychedelic practices among Jews. I examine how suffering, care, and altered states of consciousness reshape therapeutic, spiritual, and social worlds.
