Hello and welcome to About.com's Judaism section! With a Master's in Judaic Studies and fairly unique background (I converted to Judaism -- twice), I hope to enhance your experience in understanding Judaism as best I can in a balanced, informational, and honest way.
If you see a topic or subject missing from our selection of Judaism-related articles, please let me know and I'll work to get the topic covered swiftly!
Experience
I've written on Jewish topics for The Huffington Post and Lubavitch.com, and I've worked on editing projects for Jewish organizations including publishers of Judaica and Judaic studies professors.
Most of my work experience related to the topic of Judaism comes from having worked with countless nonprofit organizations providing Jewish educational opportunities for an array of denominations within Judaism.
I have worked in a digital marketing capacity with The Jewish Education Project in New York, New Jersey's Partnership for Jewish Learning and Life, the awesomely alternative PunkTorah.com, the National Jewish Outreach Project, and most recently the Colorado Agency for Jewish Education.

For me, Judaism has always been a beautiful, multifaceted subject that provides countless avenues for learning. Whether you're passionate about history, legend and lore, interesting people, religion, ethics, or tradition, there is something within Judaism that can provide an avenue for learning and understanding. I consider myself a lifelong learner, so I'm eager to share my passion and curiosity with you!
