Arthur Green

Arthur Green is a historian of Jewish mysticism and a theologian. He was first introduced to the writings of Rabbi Meir Ibn Gabbai by his mentor, Abraham Joshua Heschel, more than sixty years ago. He has a longstanding interest inJewish Creation theology largely because of its implications for life on our much-threatened planet at this crucial moment in our long evolutionary journey. His most recent works include a translation of the Hasidic classic, The Light of the Eyes (Stanford, 2020), and Judaism for the World: Reflections on God, Life, and Love (Yale, National Jewish Book Award, 2020). Green retired in 2022 as rector of the Hebrew College Rabbinical School, which he founded in 2003.
