Her first monograph, Se r茅inventer au pr茅sent. Les Jud茅o-espagnols de France. Famille, communaut茅 et patrimoine musical has been published in 2018 by the Presses Universitaires de Rennes and is finalist for the J. I. Segal Award for the best Quebec book on a Jewish theme. She is currently working on her second book Beyond the Sheitl. Orthodox Jewish Women and Performances in the Digital Age based on an ethnography of ultra-Orthodox Jewish life in Montreal and New York City.
