Hanna Rosin was born in Israel in 1970 to a Jewish family. In 1976 the family moved to the United States and settled in Briarwood, Queens, where her father drove a taxi.

She finished Stuyvesant High School in 1987, where she won debate competitions with her partner David Coleman. She then studied at Stanford University.
