Naomi

This corn-fed Midwesterner originally hails from the greatest city on earth (yeah Cleveland!). For the past four years, she's been enjoying her big East Coast Adventure - and she's recently upped the ante by moving from Philadelphia to New York to pursue master's degrees in Jewish Studies and in nonprofit management. Not to worry, though! She still blogs regularly for JPS. Naomi's bibliophilism can only be described as epic; she owns far too many books, and refers to some of her favorite well-worn volumes as "the old folks." She loves history, rain, street musicians, and Friday night synagogue services. She was once told that she has osteoporosis in her funny bones, which probably explains why her writing can only be considered "cheeky" at best.
