Ben Rosen is a third-year rabbinical student on the Cincinnati campus of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion and an Ohio native. Born in Cleveland, raised in Cincinnati, and educated in Columbus, Ben is happiest when serving his local Jewish community. Thanks to the generosity of the Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati, Ben has had the pleasure to serve as rabbinic fellow for both Rockdale Temple and Temple Sholom during his time as a rabbinical student. He currently lives in Norwood with his wife, Tess, two cats, and an ever-growing sneaker collection.
