Hi! I'm Stephanie Butnick, a writer, podcaster, and Jewish culture obsessive. I recently launched GOLDA, a Jewish lifestyle newsletter featuring curated gift guides, holiday how-to’s, Jewish FAQs, and more. It's everything you need to live Jewishly today. ​​

​​​

​For nine years I hosted the hit podcast Unorthodox, bringing listeners a weekly dose of Yiddishkeit. My co-hosts and I also  published The Newish Jewish Encyclopedia: From Abraham to Zabar’s and Everything in Between.​ Podcasts were part of my purview at Tablet, where I spent 13 wonderful years writing, editing, and launching various editorial and community-building initiatives. ​​

I host the Unpacking the Book author conversation series at The Jewish Museum with the Jewish Book Council; upcoming events are Feb. 20  (virtual) and March 31 (in-person). 

 

I've moderated events for the Museum of Jewish Heritage, the Temple Emanu-El Streicker Center, the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History, and elsewhere. I also travel to communities around the country to share my unique insights into contemporary Jewish life. (I'd love to come to yours—see below for booking info.) ​​​​
