Esti Rosenberg was born in 1965 in United States

Esti Rosenberg was born in 1965 in the United States, the fourth child of Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein and Dr. Tovah Lichtenstein. Her grandfather was Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik. The family moved to Israel in 1971, when her father became head of Yeshivat Har Etzion.

She attended the Chorev Ulpana in Jerusalem and belonged to the Ezra youth movement. She earned a bachelor's degree in Hebrew literature and history at the Hebrew University. She also studied at Michlalah Jerusalem College and in one of the early classes of Matan Jerusalem.
