Rabbi Irving "Yitz" Greenberg is a leading Jewish theologian, historian, and activist whose work has profoundly shaped modern Jewish thought. Greenberg has been a pioneer in Holocaust education, interfaith dialogue, and Jewish pluralism. Ordained at Yeshiva Beis Yosef and holding a Ph.D. from Harvard University, he has held numerous influential roles, including founding president of CLAL: The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership, and president of the Jewish Life Network. He currently serves as president of the J.J. Greenberg Institute for the Advancement of Jewish Life and Senior Scholar in Residence at the Hadar Institute.​

His latest book, The Triumph of Life: A Narrative Theology of Judaism (2024), presents a compelling vision of Judaism as a covenantal partnership between God and humanity, emphasizing life, dignity, and the mission of tikkun olam—repairing the world. The work has been recognized with the Natan Prize and has been praised as a “culmination of a lifetime of theological reflection” .​
