About Bex
Bex is the North American Faculty-in-Residence for The Conservative Yeshiva, and is available to teach at your congregation, university, or group of learners. At The Conservative Yeshiva, Bex has taught Tanakh to rabbis, rabbinical students, Jewish professionals, twenty- and thirty-something meaning-seekers, college students, and learners of all ages. Bex holds a B.A. in History and German from Williams College and is a graduate student in Hebrew Bible at Bar Ilan University. She is the recipient of numerous academic awards, including a Fulbright Grant to Austria and a Va’Tichtov Writing Fellowship. Her writing appears weekly in Torah Sparks and she has written for Mosaic Magazine and Washington Jewish Week. In her free time, Bex writes poetry and does improv.
Bex Rosenblatt meets her students where they’re at, bringing them into her love for the Tanakh, and enabling them to marry their own passions to our traditions. She teaches courses and one-off classes covering any book or theme in the Tanakh, such as “Human Sacrifice in Genesis” and “Searching for a Story in Song of Songs.” She also teaches bibliodrama, reading and performing the text as if the narrator were a movie director. Additionally, Bex teaches biblical grammar through text study, taking students from knowledge of the aleph-bet to ability to read Biblical Hebrew.
