Rabbi Ronald Howard Isaacs is Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Sholom in Bridgewater, New Jersey, where he served for the past 40 years. He was ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in 1974 and received his doctorate in Instructional Technology from Columbia University Teachers' College in 1979. Rabbi Isaacs is the author of more than 100 books. He has served as Dean of the Federation's Jewish LIFE program and as the Chairman of the Publications Committee of the Rabbinical Assembly. One of Rabbi Isaacs' passions is Jewish music. From 1968-1974 he was singer and rhythm guitarist in a Hebrew liturgical rock band called the Arba'ah Kolot, in English, the Voices Four. The group recorded two albums: Our Rock and Our Redeemer and Arba'ah Kolot. Rabbi Isaacs started the band Lovin' Company, with several members of his congregation in the 1980s. In the 90s he had a weekly radio show on WCTC called the "Jewish American Hour" where he played popular Jewish and Israeli music.
