Public Speaking

I have experience as a guest lecturer at synagogues and Jewish educational institutions in Europe, Israel, and North America. I offer lectures on topics including:

• Jewish Occultism in Eastern Europe

• Jewish Women and the Spiritualist Movement

• Introduction to the Thought of Hillel Zeitlin

• Untold Tales of the Yiddish Press

Academic Consultation

I offer academic consultation services for creative projects that relate to my areas of expertise. In particular, I have served as an academic consultant for several projects situated at the intersection of Judaism and the occult. These include Ashkenazi Seance, a solo show written and performed by Sarah Sanders, and Saravá Shalom, a documentary on Jews and Brazilian spiritism currently in production. If you believe that your project could benefit from my expertise, I would be happy to hear from you.
