Shira Telushkin writes about religion, fashion, and culture. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and many other publications. Her first book, "How To Forsake the World" will be published by HarperCollins next year. Sometimes she consults on religious accuracy and ancient texts for media and art.  She received her BA in Religious Studies from Yale University, and her M.Div from the Harvard Divinity School, where she studied early Egyptian Christian monasticism. Shira teaches religion and culture reporting at the Craig Newmark Journalism school at CUNY. If it is beautiful, she is likely interested.
