Arthur Green

Rabbi Professor Arthur Green is Professor emeritus at Brandeis University and Rector emeritus of the Rabbinical School he founded in 2014 at Hebrew College in Boston. He also taught at the University of Pennsylvania and the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, where he served as dean and president. He is a longtime student of the Jewish mystical tradition, both as an intellectual historian and as a theologian. His work seeks to form a bridge between these two distinct fields of endeavor.

Dr. Green is author of several books including Ehyeh: A Kabbalah for Tomorrow; Seek My Face: A Jewish Mystical Theology; Your Word Is Fire: The Hasidic Masters on Contemplative Prayer; and Tormented Master: The Life and Spiritual Quest of Rabbi Nahman of Bratslav (all Jewish Lights). He is also author of Radical Judaism (Yale University Press) and co-editor of Speaking Torah: Spiritual Teachings from around the Maggid’s Table (forthcoming, Jewish Lights). He is long associated with the Havurah movement and a neo-Hasidic approach to Judaism.
