I am a licensed wedding officiant in NYC and preside over baby naming ceremonies, weddings, b'nei mitzvah and more. I enjoy teaching Jewish religion and ritual,  philosophy, intra-personal relationships and applying my background in pastoral education in a variety of settings. 

Weddings

"Our wedding day was one of the most memorable days of our lives, in large part because of the wonderful ceremony led by Rabbi Cohen! He went above and beyond...The wedding ceremony was praised by all as intimate, personal, and heartfelt. We are very thankful for such a great experience!" - Ali & Ben

Baby naming

"Rabbi Rafi was thoughtful about how he included traditions we wanted to include in our daughter's naming ceremony as well as elements more deeply rooted in the Jewish tradition." - Mike and Rochelle

Teaching

"The learning event with Rabbi Cohen was a great success and we appreciate the time and effort he put into it. " - Riverdale Jewish Project co-chair
