  • Loved it for years

    I have been listening to Too Jewish for at least 15 years. Rabbi Cohon has managed to be a positive voice throughout. I appreciate the notion that he has a certain world view and expresses it without being overly didactic. He has always been a strong voice for Israel without being obnoxious which is the exception these days. The show has been a constant in my life and I will continue to listen as long as Rabbi Cohon produces them.

  • Great w/Improvement

    Love the show, the music, the Rabbi and many of the covered topics. However, the reason Jews are leaving synagogues are due to expressions of liberal attitudes by our Clergy and the top leadership. We attend services to find structure towards things “normal” and not to be inundated by those spouting off on politics. We desire a middle of the road approach in shul, from leadership, and in the entertainment that we watch and listen to. The nation of Israel needs to be unified, not strategically sp... more

  • Very informative and entertaining, but...

    I love the show and realize how much labor of love is dedicated producing each and every show. However,

    The liberal point of view is just way too much and not necessary at all. I wish you would take politics out of it and it would make the best educational and very entertaining show.

  • Maybe what you want, maybe not!

    Too Jewish is very left-wing and liberal. Many Jews are the same, and will enjoy this, so now you know before test driving...& if that's what you are looking for, you'll enjoy this. However, if you are the type of person who is conservative, you'll have the same bad taste in your mouth that you get when listening to other liberal programming. I fall into the later category, and would prefer Israel National Radio.

Too Jewish - 2/15/26 - Rabbi Mark Wildes
Q: What prompted you to write your book now?
