From Outrage to Action: A Practical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism
My upcoming book, From Outrage to Action: A Practical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism, offers a clear, grounded approach to addressing the rise of antisemitism in today’s world. Drawing on my personal experiences, family history, and in-depth research, the book weaves together a narrative that is both practical and reflective. From college campuses to social media and the workplace, I explore the various forms antisemitism takes and how individuals and communities are fighting back.
The book begins with my own story, including my family’s experiences with antisemitism, from the Soviet Jewry movement to my personal encounters growing up in Georgia. These personal anecdotes set the stage for a broader discussion on how the fight against antisemitism has evolved over time. I also look at the disunity within the Jewish community and how it can sometimes hinder efforts to combat this hatred, while highlighting the need for allies in this fight.
Through interviews with thought leaders and activists, I share strategies being used to challenge antisemitism across different sectors. I examine the complex relationship between antisemitism and anti-Zionism, particularly in areas like academia and politics, where the line between legitimate criticism of Israel and antisemitism is often blurred. I also explore how social media and the digital age have amplified old prejudices, creating new challenges for those fighting against antisemitism.
Ultimately, From Outrage to Action is a call to arms for those who want to take meaningful steps to push back against the rising tide of antisemitism. It serves as both a personal reflection on my own journey and a practical guide for anyone looking to turn outrage into tangible action, offering tools and examples of how to confront and fight antisemitism in everyday life.

Found and Lost: The Jake and Cait Story
Coming in 2025 from Vine Leaves Press
Found and Lost: The Jake and Cait Story follows two musicians who reconnect after 40 years when their teenage hit song goes viral, thrusting them back into the spotlight in middle age. Jake and Cait, once musical partners with an undeniable bond, went their separate ways after a brief but intense collaboration. Now in their fifties, they are forced to confront old memories, unresolved feelings, and the realities of fame they never expected.
In evaluating my manuscript, a reader for my publisher wrote: “It’s clear that the author has writing chops aplenty—great pacing, fun premise, excellent insight.” She called it “a rollercoastery and fun ride. I really enjoyed my time with this book.”
As they prepare for a reunion tour, Jake and Cait grapple with the complexities of aging, second chances, and the lingering impact of their youthful dreams. Along the way, they explore themes of faith, regret, and the passage of time, discovering whether they can reclaim not just their music, but a sense of themselves that has been lost over the years.
