Freelance Subject-Matter Expert, Researcher & Editorial Consultant
Seeking collaborative projects in publishing, academia, and digital content development. I specialize in synthesizing complex primary sources with academic and traditional scholarship, ensuring content is both historically rigorous and accessible to diverse audiences.
Core Services & Project Scope
- Editorial & Publishing Support: Providing end-to-end editorial services, including developmental editing, copyediting, proofreading, and indexing. Extensive experience managing diverse manuscripts—from mishnayos commentaries and mussar works to polemical texts and educational curricula.
- Research & Content Creation: Offering expert research services, including source-finding, fact-checking, and genealogical investigation. Available for ghostwriting, curriculum development, and long-form content creation (e.g., articles, columns, and educational materials).
- Linguistic & Cross-Cultural Translation: Leveraging deep proficiency in English, Rabbinic Hebrew, Modern Hebrew, and Talmudic Aramaic to trace sources and translate material across linguistic and cultural boundaries.
- AI Integration & Digital Workflow: Utilizing emerging technologies—including AI-driven transcription (OCR), vowelization (nikkud), and custom LLM building—to optimize digital presentation, streamline workflows, and enhance user experience for large digital collections.
Subject-Matter Expertise
- Domains: Jewish History, Philology/Etymology, Biblical Studies, Halacha, Comparative Religion, and Philosophy.
- Synthesis Approach: Skilled at bridging the gap between rigorous, scholarly primary sources and the needs of a broader, less scholarly audience.
- Methodology: Exceptional at categorizing and filtering massive volumes of information, whether chronologically (periodization) or thematically (e.g., rationalist vs. mystical, traditional vs. academic).
Professional Profile
I am a dedicated researcher, author, and educator with a track record of producing, refining, and contextualizing material for varied platforms. My background as a Haredi scholar living in Israel allows me to bring a unique, multifaceted perspective to editorial teams, combining traditional rabbinic training with a commitment to modern academic clarity and thoughtful scholarship.
