'''Steven Greenberg''' is the first person [http://www.wrestlingwithgodandmen.com/go.php?q=theAuthor/05-authorBioAndPhotos.html] with [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox]] [[semicha|ordination]] to subsequently announce his [[homosexuality]]. [http://yuweb.addr.com/v64i1/news/gayrabbi.shtml] [http://www.wrestlingwithgodandmen.com/go.php?q=theAuthor/05-authorBioAndPhotos.html] [http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1425657,00.html] [http://www.jewishjournal.org/archives/archiveMay28_99.htm] Given [[Homosexuality and Judaism|Judaism's views on homosexuality]], this has made him a lightning rod for both criticism and praise, as well as a symbol of the new and growing Jewish gay movement.
Greenberg was born in [[Columbus, Ohio]]. He received his [[Bachelor of Arts|BA]] in [[philosophy]] from [[Yeshiva University]], and his rabbinic ordination from YU's [[RIETS]]. He is currently a Senior Teaching Fellow at CLAL (National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership), a [[think tank]], leadership training institute, and resource center.
