Rabbi Emily Cohen is a resident rabbi at Lab/Shul with the Jewish Emergent Network. Lab/Shul is ‘an artist-driven, everybody-friendly, God-optional, pop up, experimental community for sacred Jewish gatherings based in NYC and reaching the world.'
Rabbi Emily has a podcast called Jew Too (jewtoopodcast.com) that explores themes of intermarriage and policy, interfaith relationships—by choice and inherited—and raising Jewish children, among other themes of interfaith families rooted in the values of community, perspective, and healing.
In this webinar, we will have a conversation with Emily about how these values inform her practice and ways to celebrate difference, connect deeply with others, and ultimately promote healing.

Rabbi Emily Cohen is a San Francisco-rooted, East Coast-raised, Twin Cities-educated graduate of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Philadelphia, currently serving as Lab/Shul's Rabbinic Resident in NYC. Her relatively complex geographic history informs her approach to the rabbinate: connecting people to something or someone that deepens their experience of existence. An artist and educator, her professional experience ranges from corralling preschoolers into baking challah to herding teenagers on wilderness treks to leading adult education classes on Judaism and Social Justice. Emily has worked with the Woodstock Jewish Congregation, Bryn Mawr College Hillel, HIAS Pennsylvania, and Stanford University Hospital, where she completed chaplaincy training. On the side, she’s crafted Passover parodies (“The Hamilton Haggadah”), produced a podcast (“Jew Too? Tales of the Mixed Multitude”) and written many a new song. Before rabbinical school, Emily worked with an NGO in rural Yunnan, China, and with AmeriCorps in Minneapolis. At Macalester College, where she completed her B.A. in History, alongside robust studies in Music and Mandarin, she was a founding member of the Multifaith Council. Emily now lives in Brooklyn and is delighted to share that it feels like home.
