Welcome to my website! I am a Lecturer in the Departments of the Core Curriculum and Philosophy & Jewish Thought at Shalem College in Jerusalem, Israel's first and only liberal arts college. (My Faculty Page can be accessed here). Previously, I worked as Teaching Fellow at the University of Chicago Divinity School and the College (2021-23). I received my PhD from the University of Chicago Divinity School in August 2021.

​

I am a scholar of twentieth century political thought, the philosophy of history, and Zionist/Israeli intellectual history. My dissertation, “The 'New Jew' of Zionist Historiography: The Social Vision and Historical Imagination of Yitzhak Baer, Gershom Scholem, and Yehezkel Kaufmann” (2021), explored the relationship between the political thought and the historical writings of three of the founders of Israeli historiography. My current book project will address Israeli geopolitics in the twenty-first century, and is provisionally entitled "Israel in the Age of the Civilizational States." 

​

I hold a BA in Politics and History from the University of York (UK), a Master's degree from the University of Chicago Masters Program in the Social Sciences (MAPSS), and another Master's from Harvard University's Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations.

​

I am an Israeli citizen and served as officer in the Israel Defense Forces between 2005-09. In my last role, I was the Head of NATO and European Union Desk at the IDF Strategic Division.

​

I write an occasional newsletter on the rise of political uniformity in the modern era, The Forest Passage Project.
