Author of “The Jews of Summer” 📖. Visiting Assistant Prof at NYU & Director of the Archive of the American Jewish Left in the Digital Age. views my own.
I can't wait to go back to my beloved @EugeneLang@TheNewSchool to present on my book! I owe so much of my success to the professors there, who still remain colleagues/mentors/friends 12 years after graduation!
Tomorrow at the @Skirball_LA:
@sandy__fox will be in conversation with Aaron Goldberg, director of @campalonim, about her new book The Jews of Summer and how a cultural crisis birthed a rite of passage that remains a significant influence in American Jewish life.
It was an honor and a delight to be one of the @jwaonline Book Club Picks for 2023-2024, along with amazing folks like Julia Watts Belser, @TahneerO, @sandy__fox, and Emily Bowen Cohen. Thank you, JWA!

In Opinion
“If camp works like a drug, then coming home means experiencing withdrawal,” writes Sandra Fox about “campsickness.” “That crash is not something that can be avoided. In fact, it’s a sign that camp worked in exactly the way it’s meant to.” nyti.ms/45exEax
We’re going to back to camp!
The @SecondGentleman will visit his Jewish summer camp next week to celebrate Jewish life and talk to campers about combatting antisemitism.
Gearing up for a rowdy Birkat, camp ruach, and hopefully some chipwhich’s!
Anybody know which audiobook companies record a lot of Judaica/Jewish-focused audiobooks? The company my publisher sold the rights to can't find a narrator who can manage all of the Hebrew and Yiddish in my book, so the rights are back on the table! 🤔 #audiobooks#judaica
