Is there a "continue" for while loops?

Is there any way I can go to the next iteration of a loop? Something
like:

while cond1
if cond2
continue <-----
else
…
end

I really can’t figure it out.

From “Ruby in a Nutshell”:

NEXT STATEMENT:
Jumps to the point immediately before the evaluation of a loop’s
conditional. Terminates execution of a block if called within a block
(with yield or call returning nil).

REDO STATEMENT:
Jumps to the point immediately after the evaluation of the loop’s
conditional. Restarts yield or call if called within a block.
