Barukh Dayan Ha-Emet: Rabbi Dr. Noah Rosenbloom

For those who have not seen the obituary notice in the New York Times (Aug 14, 2007; B6), the Seforim blog records the passing of Rabbi Dr. Noah Rosenbloom, a pulpit rabbi for over fifty years and longtime faculty member at Yeshiva University’s Stern College for Women.

He was the author of Luzzatto’s Ethico-Psychological Interpretation of Judaism: A Study in the Religious Philosophy of Samuel David Luzzatto (New York: Yeshiva University, 1965); Tradition in an Age of Reform: The Religious Philosophy of Samson Raphael Hirsch (Philadelphia: Jewish Publication Society, 1976); Malbim: Exegesis, Philosophy, Science and Mysticism in the Writings of Rabbi Meir Lebush Malbim (Hebrew; Jerusalem: Mossad ha-Rav Kook, 1988), among other scholarly articles and books.

Noah Rosenbloom received his rabbinic ordination from RIETS and his graduate dissertations were entitled: “The God-Ideas of the Leading Hebrew Poets During the Period 1933-1948” (PhD, New York University, 1958) and “The ‘Taz’ and Its Author: A Study of the Life and Work of Rabbi David Halevi, author of the ‘Turei Zahav'” (DHL, Yeshiva University, 1948).
