About Me
Dr. Yosef Rosen is the Director of Jewish Life & Learning at the Jewish Federation of Portland (OR). A recipient of a doctorate in Jewish Studies (UC Berkeley), Yosef translates the mysteries of Kabbalah into usable mythologies and immersive practices. His public workshops merge what modern society often keeps separate: the contemporary and the ancient, the academic and the experiential, the religious and the secular, the spiritual and the somatic.
As a teacher, Yosef blurs the line between education and initiation—he encourages students to reclaim their own forgotten or censored lineages of Jewish creativity.
As a DJ, Yosef plays ethnic electronic music that welcomes bodies to align with lineage, story, celebration, and bass.
You can hear some of his mixes and live-sets here.
