BiographyEarly lifeNagen was born in Manhattan, New York to Azriel and Ahuva Genack. After completing high school in the United States, he studied in Israel at Yeshivat Shaalvim. Nagen returned to the US to study at Yeshiva University where he received a bachelor's degree in Judaic studies and a master's degree in Jewish history in addition to rabbinic ordination. In 1993 he moved to Israel and studied at Yeshivat Har Etzion and in 1997 joined the faculty at Yeshivat Otniel.[1] In 2004 Nagen received a doctoral degree in Jewish philosophy at the Hebrew University. His dissertation dealt with the interplay between Halacha and Aggada, Kabbala and philosophy in the context of the holiday of Sukkot.[2] Nagen's interdisciplinary approach towards Talmudic literature is developed his books: "Water, Creation and Revelation – Sukkot in the philosophy of halacha (Geloy, 2008) and "The Soul of the Mishna - a literary reading and search for meaning" (Dvir, 2016)[3][4] Interfaith activityIn 2006, Nagen traveled to India in the context of his research about the relationship between Judaism and eastern spirituality.

Through the Interfaith Encounter Association (IEA) he coordinates a group of West Bank Rabbis that meet regularly with Muslim Sheiks and Imam's, mostly from the Hebron and Ramallah areas. He is the co-chairman of the board of the Abrahamic Reunion.[7] The Abrahamic Renion composes of representatives of the four Abrahamic religions - Jews, Muslims, Christians and Druze dedicated to promoting peace in the Middle East.[8] Nagen was a representative of the organization at the World Parliament of Religions in 2015 at Salt Lake City. Nagen is also active in the URI, United Religions Initiative, and was one of Israel's representatives at the annual conference for the Middle East, held in Jordan in November 2017.[9] After the murder of the Dawabsheh family in Duma, Nagen was an organizer of the prayer vigal for the victims and outcry against the violence.[10] In March 2016 Nagen visited Al-Azhar University in Cairo and Fayuum to promote mutual respect between Islamic and Judaism.[11] In 2016 Nagen was profiled in Tablet Magazine as one of the 10 "Israeli Rabbis You Should Know".[12] Nagen is active in spreading Judaism in China in the context of the "Shofer from Zion" organization. Many of his writings have been translated into Chinese and in 2017 he gave lecture series in Beijing and Shanghai.[13][14] Nagen is also a member of the Tzohar and Beit Hillel[15][16] organizations, Rabbinical organizations that focus on the relations between the Religious and secular communities in Israel. Personal lifeIn 1993 Nagen married Michal, head of the pre-army seminary Tzahali and daughter of Professor Uriel Simon.
