Oppenheimer is a former columnist for the New York Times and until May 2022 directed the Yale Journalism Initiative. He's also the author of five books. His latest is Squirrel Hill: The Tree of Life Synagogue Shootings and the Soul of the Neighborhood, describe as "propulsive" (New York Times), "powerful" (Washington Post), and "compelling" (Wall Street Journal).
