Ahava Rosenthal

Ahava Rosenthal Headshot

Ahava Rosenthal has devoted her career in education to the pursuit of lifelong learning and community engagement. She served most recently as the Adult Learning Program Director for Hebrew College’s Parenting Through a Jewish Lens and Open Circle Jewish Learning (now part of Tamid of Hebrew College), where she designed curriculum, mentored instructors, and developed learning communities that engaged hundreds of learners across a wide range of topics and experiences. Ahava has taught students of all ages and continues to seek opportunities to educate, write, and engage within the Jewish community and beyond. She is especially interested in how stories, memory, and lived experience shape learning across generations. Born and raised in Canada, Ahava is grateful for opportunities to engage with the world beyond her home of 33 years in Newton, Massachusetts, including spending time each year in Guatemala learning Spanish.
