Rabbi Martin Cohen is among the luminaries of the Conservative Movement today. Rabbi of the Shelter Rock Jewish Center in Roslyn, NY for close to twenty years, he has authored many books, including novels and Jewish theology. In my preparation of Psalms, I regularly consulted his book, Our Haven and Our Strength: The Book of Psalms (Aviv Press, 2003). Martin is a friend, having initially enjoyed his company for the three years that he served as the Rabbi of Congregation Eilat in Mission Viejo.
As I move to completion of my Psalm Project, I delight in this opportunity to reflect with Rabbi Cohen on what has drawn him to the study of Psalms and how these ancient poems are relevant to us today. To listen to our conversation please click here.
