Author Information

Dr. David Halpern is a first year resident at the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. Prior to attending medical school, he spent two years studying Jewish texts and philosophy at Yeshivat Hakotel in the Old City of Jerusalem. He then returned to New York to earn a BA in Psychology at Yeshiva University, where his graduating thesis focused on the intersection of the philosophy of free will as interpreted by Jewish and Christian Theology. Halpern received rabbinic ordination in 2014 from the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary of Yeshiva University, where he created a capstone project exploring the intersection of medical practice with Jewish medical ethics and law. He also completed rabbinic internships at the Puah Institute, where he helped Jewish couples navigate infertility, as well as the Organization for the Resolution of Agunot, where he assisted women in obtaining a Jewish writ of divorce and preventing domestic abuse. Patrick Cullen (a.k.a. John Lescault), a native of Massachusetts, is a graduate of the Catholic University of America. He lives in Washington, DC, where he works in theater.
