Rabbi Aryeh Cohen, PhD is a distinguished professor of Rabbinic Literature who has helped to shape the entire curriculum at the Ziegler School. In fact, he was Chair of the Rabbinics Department for over two decades. He created and taught most courses during his affiliation with school.

His research, scholarship and teaching sit at the intersection of Talmud, Jewish ethics and social justice activism. This is present in his coursework especially "Issues of Justice" which is a Project Based Learning class in which students have to develop advocacy-based readings from their Judaism on an issue that relates to social justice. His latest book "Justice in the City: An Argument from the Sources of Rabbinic Judaism" emerges from these same concerns as well.

He also wrote about modern figures such as Aharon Shmuel Tamares and Emmanuel Levinas. Andrew Flescher argued that Cohen was able to make "a compelling case in his own right" against violence by focusing on how it "under all circumstances" leads to counter-productivity.
