Jonathan Rosen

Jonathan Rosen (born 1963) is an American author and editor.

Education

Rosen graduated from Yale and began graduate studies working towards a PhD in English at the University of California, Berkeley.[1] He dropped out of graduate school to become a writer.[1]

Career

In 1990 he was hired by The Jewish Daily Forward to create an arts section of the paper's then newly editorially independent English language edition, a job he held for 10 years.[1] As of 2007 he was editorial director of the Nextbook.[1]

Rosen's Joy Comes in the Morning (2004) features the protagonist, Rabbi Deborah Green, who struggles with the perceptions of women rabbis. This work's inclusion of a woman rabbi is viewed as a significant development in American Jewish writings featuring women rabbis.[2]
