In this episode, Rabbi Cohen speaks with Rabbi Peretz Rodman, a Jerusalem-based educator, writer, and translator.

Rabbi Peretz Rodman earned a B.A. and M.A. in Jewish studies at Brandeis University and a Bachelor of Hebrew Literature at Hebrew College. He was among the inaugural cohort of the Jerusalem Fellows, and later earned rabbinic ordination at the Schechter Rabbinical Seminary.

In this episode, Rabbi Phil Cohen chats with Rabba Sigalit Ur about her journey to the rabbinate.

Rabbi Phil Cohen introduces The Rabbi Podcast, coming December 9, 2025, at 8 a.m. US EST.

Ron Kronish and I became friends when a relatively small number of years ago I met him at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute where he has an office.

He emerged from that office to meet me wearing a big smile.

We had coffee, talked about Israel, about the rabbinate, our families and like that. We've stayed in touch ever since.

Ron founded and directed the Interreligious Coordinating Council in Israel. He blogs for The Times of Israel and writes book reviews for The Jerusalem Report.
