His writing on anti-Semitism, the US-Israel relationship, and other issues has been published in The New York Times, The Hill, Tablet Magazine, The Jewish Daily Forward, Tower Magazine and T he Jewish Advocate.
He is currently writing a thesis on the idea of the "ingathering of exiles" as a point of tension between the American Jewish and Israeli leaderships in the context of the mass migration of Jews from Yemen to Israel in the late 1940s and early 1950s.  His presentation at Emeth will focus on the roots of campus anti-Semitism and the difficult path to reconciliation with the political left.
