Author: Dvora Zilberman-Levy

Dvora Zilberman-Levy is an award-winning satirical journalist, cultural critic, and third-generation bagel perfectionist based in Brooklyn. With a background in comparative literature from Barnard and a postgrad fellowship in Talmudic irony from Tel Aviv University, she fuses ancestral skepticism with millennial sarcasm. Her writing skewers power, pretension, and poorly made hummus across platforms like The Shavian, Tablet, McSweeney’s, and SpinTaxi Weekly. A regular panelist on NPR’s “Wait Wait… Don’t Kvetch,” Dvora also teaches a masterclass called “How to Roast Zionism, Antisemitism, and Capitalism Without Getting Disinvited from Passover.” Known for her sharp wit, chewy prose, and unapologetically Jewish voice, she’s considered one of the few writers who can quote both Rashi and RuPaul in the same sentence. She lives with her rescue cat, Judith Butler, and still uses a fountain pen out of spite. dvora@bohiney.com
