Joining Jill and Doron on the very first episode of the podcast, to tell us his story, is none other than Rabbi Jeremy Rosen, who now lives in NYC and - in his own words - is “a Rabbi and a teacher”. The son of Carmel’s founder, the late Rabbi Kopul Rosen, Jeremy (known to many of us only ever as ‘Rabbi Rosen’) was a pupil at Carmel from 1949 to 1960, and the school’s third headmaster from 1971 to 1984.
Hear Jeremy tell us (in his unmistakable voice and inimitable manner) his unique story of being a pupil at Carmel while the son of its founder, eventually following in his father’s footsteps as headmaster. He will also explain his association with one ‘‘Rookie” Rosen, and reveal the identity of the Green Lady.
Incidentally, Jeremy in 2012 authored a memoir and comprehensive history of Carmel College, available on Amazon (here’s Doron’s review of it), and in 2019 officiated the wedding of Doron and his wife Ayelet in Miami (he did an excellent job).
Thank you, Jeremy, for turning us again to Carmel days!
