Petuchowski emigrated to the USA in 1948 and studied at the Hebrew Union College, he was ordained a rabbi in 1952 . His participation in the Christian-Jewish religious dialogue led the rabbi, who was born in Germany, back to his country of birth several times from 1973 onwards. Some of his works, for example his "Rabbinical Stories" Es taught our masters (1979) or the Lexicon of Judeo-Christian Encounters (1989), appeared in German. The theologian read the rabbinical stories himself for a German-language record production.
