Yisrael Rosen

Yisrael Rosen (Hebrew: ישראל רוזן; 1941 – November 1, 2017) was an Orthodox Israeli rabbi.

He founded the office for conversion to Judaism in the Chief Rabbinate of Israel and he was a judge there.

Rabbi Rosen was born in Tel Aviv, learned in Yeshivat HaYishuv HeHadash and in Kerem BeYavneh, and founded the kollel in KBY.

Yated Ne'eman falsely claimed that the rabbi provided halakhic certification out of the desire for money.

[1][2] On the occasion of Pope Benedict XVI's 2009 pilgrimage to Israel, Rosen's far-from-endearing message to the Pope was that Jesus was a false messiah who deserved to die, but Catholics could be utilized to help Israel fight a war against fundamentalist Islam.
