Or N. Rose

OR N. ROSE is a rabbi, writer, and educator at Hebrew College in Newton, Massachusetts, and the founding director of its Miller Center for Interreligious Learning & Leadership. His books include My Legs Were Praying: A Biography of Abraham Joshua Heschel, Jewish Mysticism and the Spiritual Life: Classical Texts, Contemporary Reflections, and Righteous Indignation: A Jewish Call for Justice.

Rose studied at Yeshiva University, the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and Brandeis University, and received private rabbinic ordination from Rabbis Arthur Green and Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. He previously served as Associate Dean of the Rabbinical School of Hebrew College.

When not writing, Rose draws on a family tradition rooted in both religious life and literary expression — his father was a rabbi and his mother a poet. Much of his work bridges Jewish spiritual wisdom and contemporary ethical concerns.

Or N. Rose’s books are published by Jewish Lights, an imprint of Turner Publishing.
