AFAIK no,

What you do in ruby is restart by hand.  Something like this

begin
        do_something    # This might throw an exception
        do_more
rescue
        retry           # This will move you back to "begin" 
                        # and do_something will be called 
                        # again.. not do_more which is what you mean right?
end

I might be wrong on this though.
