מרדכי רוטנברג

Mordechai Rotenberg (1932 - ) (Hebrew: מרדכי רוטנברג‎) is an Israeli professor of social work at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Mordechai Rotenberg was born in Breslau, Germany (today Wrocław, Poland). His father was from Warsaw, descended from Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Alter, the founder of the Hasidic sect. His father owned a publishing house in Bratslav. In 1939, on the eve of World War II, the family immigrated to Palestine. Rotenberg's father opened a small printing press in Jerusalem. Rotenberg grew up in a Haredi household, with three brothers and a sister.

In 1960, he graduated from the Hebrew University. In 1962, he received his MSW from New York University. In 1969, he was awarded a Ph.D. at University of California, Berkeley.

In 1970, Rotenberg joined the faculty of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, becoming a full professor in 1980. He founded a new sub-discipline in psychology and religion. He is the author of ten books, which have been translated into English, French, Portuguese and Japanese. Rotenberg has taught at University of Pennsylvania, University of California, Berkeley, the Jewish Theological Seminary, City University of New York and Yeshiva University.
