Earlier in his career, Tuvia contributed anonymously to My Brother’s Keeper (2012), a multilingual devotional project published by the Bible Society in Israel, featuring Israeli and Palestinian voices in Hebrew, English, and Arabic.

Many of these pieces reflect broader themes that also inform his independent long-form interests.
