I received my PhD in Philosophy from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Before coming to Princeton, I was a Gruss Scholar-in-Residence at NYU. 

My work moves between contemporary analytic philosophy and the study of Jewish thought, while also attending to the historical and intellectual relationships between them. I aim to bring the questions, methods, and conceptual tools of analytic philosophy to bear on Jewish texts and thinkers, while drawing on Jewish intellectual traditions to enrich and challenge contemporary philosophical debates. I am especially interested in cases where bringing these traditions into conversation reveals possibilities that are less visible when each is studied on its own.

At Princeton, my main project focuses on religious deference: when, why, and to what extent it is appropriate to rely on religious experts and authorities in forming one’s own beliefs and way of life. I approach these questions both philosophically and historically, examining how different religious movements and thinkers have understood the role of authority, expertise, and individual judgment in religious life. I am especially interested in how these different conceptions reflect broader assumptions about the nature of religious belief and how they might enrich contemporary philosophical discussions of deference.
