About Me and This Blog



About Me

I grew up in Riverdale, NY and have been living in Cambridge, MA since 2005. My excellent room mate is my husband Sam, and we've got an adventurous, headstrong daughter and a kind, curious son.

I work full time as the Program Manager for the Wexner Israel Fellowship at the Harvard Kennedy School. I teach in various community settings, including Eser and Parenting Through a Jewish Lens.

I wrote this blog for three years to combine two passions of mine – cooking and Jewish education. Now I use it from time to time to share Torah or life updates.

About This Blog

Double Portion is a food blog of recipes that correspond to the weekly Torah portion. I started writing the blog in November 2009 and hope to one day turn the blog into a cookbook- an idea I dreamed up in high school!
