Favorite Class or Professor

I really loved learning with two of my most important mentors at Harvard Divinity School, Shaul Magid and Hussein Rashid. Both treat their students with so much warmth, kindness, and respect. I truly learned so much from them. The whole team at Religion in Public Life made my experience at HDS worthwhile, and it wouldn't be the same without them.

Message of Thanks 

I would like to thank my family, but particularly Zayde for pushing me to pursue graduate studies in modern Judaism. Without him, I wouldn't have learned to love being Jewish, to always live by my values, and to commit myself to lifelong learning. It's an honor to live out his memory each and every day.

Future Plans

After graduation, I plan to stick around Somerville and start full time in a career in faith-based advocacy.
