Arthur Green (Hebrew: אברהם יצחק גרין, born March 21, 1941)[1] is an American scholar of Jewish mysticism and Neo-Hasidic theologian.

[2] Arthur (Art) Green grew up in Newark, New Jersey in a nonobservant Jewish home and attended Camp Ramah.

He describes his father as a "militant atheist," but his mother, from a traditional family, felt obligated to give her son a Jewish education.

[5] After college, Green trained for the rabbinate at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, where he studied privately with Abraham Joshua Heschel.

[10] Green has published both academic works on the intellectual history of Jewish mysticism and Hasidism, as well as writings of a more personal theological sort.

The Hebrew version of Tormented Master (Ba’al ha-Yissurim—בעל היסורים)[13] was an influential best-seller in Israel,[14] where Green visits and lectures frequently.
