I’m honored to be featured by Unpacked in a piece that shares my journey of choosing to become both a rabbi and cantor after October 7th. The article explores how this moment deepened my commitment to Jewish leadership, prayer, music, and spiritual resilience.

It also highlights my ongoing work fighting antisemitism and antizionism, both online and in the wider Jewish world. As an artist, activist, and rabbinical and cantorial student, I feel called to use my voice to strengthen Jewish pride, defend our people, and remind the world that Zionism is deeply connected to Judaism, Jewish identity, and Jewish peoplehood.
