Ron Isaacs, known as “the teaching rabbi” has published more than 100 books that make Jewish learning and lore easily accessible to readers of all ages and beliefs. From his Every Person’s Guide series to Ask the Rabbi, to The How-To Handbook series, to Kosher Living-It’s More Than Just the Food, Ron Isaacs’ books are invaluable sources of inspiration and definitive reference works for “regular people.” His writing is based on the questions that “inquiring minds” have asked him over his 40-year career in the pulpit like Do Animals Have Souls and Why Does Hebrew Go from Right to Left?Reviewers have written: “Ron Isaacs is indeed the rabbi who can be asked anything. His knowledge is encyclopedic, and this book is a pleasure to read.” (Rabbi Joseph Telushkin) “If you’ve ever wanted a resource to turn to when your children ask you questions about Judaism or if you’ve got a whole bunch of leftover questions from your own childhood, [Ron Isaacs’] Ask the Rabbi will fill the bill beautifully.” (Dr. Jonathan Woocher) “Rabbi Isaacs has a beautiful list of books to his credit that have taught us all wonderful, practical, and meaningful Torah.” (Danny Siegel)Rabbi Isaacs has also created inspiring siddurim that draw worshippers into meaningful prayer, straight-forward guidebooks for Jewish life milestones (such as weddings, death and mourning) and fill-in memory albums for marriages (Loving Companions) and grandparents (Reflections: A Jewish Grandparents’ Book of Memories).His most recent children’s picture book with Karen Rostoker-Gruber (Farmer Kobi’s Hanukkah Match), “a touching holiday tale told with a lot of humor and whimsy, a wonderful book to start a discussion of Jewish values and customs for Jewish and Gentile children” has been named one of the Best Children's Books of 2015 by The Bureau of Education and Research.In his retirement, Rabbi Ron is thrilled to use his pastoral and musical talents as Interim Rabbi at Beth Judah Temple in Wildwood NJ and as a music therapist at a local Jewish hospice – as well as holiday performances with Karen Rostoker-Gruber to introduce Farmer Kobi to children and families. He also is available for presentations and scholar-in-residence weekends.See more about Rabbi Ron at www.rabbiron.com, or follow his blog at https://thoughtsfromrabbiron.wordpress.com/
