Happily Married But Attracted to Other Women? What a Rabbi Says
2026/10/08
Rabbi Dov Ber Cohen is back in the Hot Seat, answering your toughest questions with no filter. Is it okay for non-Jews to follow Christianity or Islam? Why does being Jewish pass through the mother, but tribe through the father? Is there such a thing as being half Jewish? What do you do when you're happily married but still attracted to other people? Is modest dress about women or about men? Why won't an Orthodox man shake a woman's hand? And the big one: is finding God through psychedelics better than never finding Him at all?

Rosh Hashanah Unplugged: Stories & Niggunim to Get You Ready

It's almost Rosh Hashana, so pour a cup of coffee, put this on in the background, and let's get your heart ready. In this special unplugged episode of Rabbi in the Hot Seat, Rabbi Dov Ber Cohen sits down with his friend, musician Akiva Chai, for an evening of stories, niggunim, and real talk about what Rosh Hashana is actually about — not fear of judgment, but a yearning to come back into relationship with Hashem.
