Read: My inaugural feature at JNS
My first piece for Jewish News Syndicate explores how Jewish-led startups are using technology to fight online antisemitism. You can read it within.
Today I want to announce some exciting news: I have joined Jewish News Syndicate as a contributor - producing stories relating to Judaism, antisemitism, and Israel’s place in the West. It’s an opportunity for me to expand my journalism beyond Israel’s high-tech sector and explore themes and events that impact Jewish communities worldwide.
About JNS:
JNS is the fastest-growing news agency covering Israel and the Jewish world. It provides news, briefs, features, opinions, and analysis to 100 print newspapers and digital publications daily, and has an audience of roughly 1 million monthly users.
My first feature is a blend of my knowledge on Jewish issues, love of online discourse, and experience with Israel’s tech sector. It explores How Jewish-led startups can battle online antisemitism through tech.
As I explain:
“Since Oct. 7, 2023, there has been a vast increase in antisemitism across the world, which may start in obscure corners of the internet but eventually overflows into real life.
Technology has expanded the reach and ability to amplify tropes, spread fake news and generate artificial content that can direct hate and abuse at Jews and create politicized radicalization pipelines. To combat this problem, Jewish-led startups are treating the digital space as an additional security frontier by creating tools that can protect from algorithmic, systemic and human prejudice.”

I’m excited to continue working alongside the talented group of journalists and content creators at JNS to discuss global topics that affect Jews technically, politically, and socially. I can’t wait to show you more stories currently in the pipeline.
I will continue to write here regularly, and my podcast has attracted a large lineup of guests who will be recording interviews in the coming days and weeks - so expect plenty more episodes to come! But I wanted to highlight work outside of The Spiro Circle and direct you to my other conversations taking place online.
I hope you enjoy!
