Abigail Pogrebin is an American journalist, author, and cultural commentator whose work frequently engages with questions of identity, faith, and public life, particularly within the American Jewish community. In My Jewish Year: 18 Holidays, One Wondering Jew (2017), Pogrebin expands on a series originally published in The Forward, undertaking the observance of all major and minor Jewish holidays over the course of a year, weaving together personal reflection with interviews from rabbis, scholars, and lay practitioners across denominations. The book highlights the diversity of Jewish practice in America while foregrounding questions of identity, belonging, and spiritual searching in a secular age.
