There is something profoundly moving about watching a book leave your hands and find its way into the world.
After years of writing, researching, rewriting, fighting for this story, and believing in it even when it would have been easier not to, White. Blonde. Jew. officially releases on August 18. This book was never meant to live quietly on a shelf. It was always meant to spark conversations, challenge assumptions, and bring people together in rooms where important conversations can happen with honesty, curiosity, and courage.
This fall, I’ll be traveling across the country to do exactly that.
If I’m coming to your city, I’d love to meet you. Bring a friend. Bring your book club. The conversations and the community are the point.
Join The Algemeiner in Westhampton Beach for a special J100 conversation as I sit down with David M. Cohen, CEO of The Algemeiner, to discuss White. Blonde. Jew., the ideas behind the book, and why these conversations matter now more than ever.
DATE + TIME | Monday, July 27th - 5:30pm - 7:30pm

This one is especially close to my heart. Nashville has been home through some of the most defining years of my life - the place where I built my career, found my voice, and wrote two books. If you'd like to celebrate the launch with me, I'd be honored to have you in the room. I'll be in conversation with my literary agent, Ami McConnell, sharing the story behind White. Blonde. Jew., reading an excerpt from the book, and opening the floor for an honest conversation and Q&A. I would truly love to celebrate this milestone with you.

Returning to Oklahoma always feels like coming home, because it is. It's where I grew up, where my values were shaped, and where the scaffolding for this book was first built. It was there that I learned what it meant to be a voice in rooms filled with silence. I'm especially looking forward to returning to Tulsa at a time when the community is pursuing thoughtful, creative ways to strengthen Jewish life and build an even safer, more connected future. We'll talk about those efforts, the ideas behind White. Blonde. Jew., and why local communities remain one of our greatest sources of resilience. I'm grateful to Jewish Tulsa and Congregation B'nai Emunah for hosting this conversation, and I hope you'll join us.
DATE + TIME | Wednesday, August 26, 2026 - 7:00pm - 8:30pm
