==American Jewish Congress==
He has been active in the organization's efforts to reach out to and engage in dialogue with international partners, and build bridges of cooperation with leaders around the world.
Daniel Rosen has been particularly vocal about the need to combat rising antisemitism in America , especially on American college campuses. As a Harvard alumnus, he called on the university to take steps to address antisemitism on its campus, especially after the former president of Harvard resigned in the aftermath of her testimony in front of the United States House Committee on Education and the Workforce. Rosen proposed Republican Senator Mitt Romney as a potential leader that could spearhead the university in light of these challenges, a call that was endorsed by Democratic U.S. Senator John Fetterman . Moreover, Rosen responded to Minouche Shafik, the President of Columbia University, after she published a piece which he believed downplayed the threats facing Jewish students on Columbia's campus.
Rosen endorsed the Countering Antisemitism Act introduced by U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen, Senator James Lankford, along with Representatives Kathy Manning, Chris Smith, Brian Fitzpatrick , and Randy Weber. Rosen argued that the bill, which would establish a first-ever National Coordinator to Counter Antisemitism to oversee federal efforts to counter domestic antisemitism, would lay "the pathway to better governmental coordination and implementation in the efforts to combat anti-Jewish hatred and actions."
Rosen criticized what he called an "antisemitic smear campaign" to discourage Vice President Kamala Harris to select Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania as her running mate after President Joe Biden decided to withdraw from the 2024 United States presidential election.
Rosen called out the members of Congress that decided to skip Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to the joint meeting of Congress on July 24, 2024. Rosen argued that those skipping the prime minister's speech were effectively boycotting Israel. In August 2024, he argued that the Democratic National Convention in Chicago demonstrated that, despite the positions taken by some activists and protestors, the Democratic party overwhelmingly expressed strong support for Israel, including through the platform that it adopted. 
As the leader of the organization, Rosen has prioritized efforts to reach out and build bridges with diverse communities, including Black, Latino, as well as different ethnic communities.
