Rothblum was born in Tel Aviv to a family of Jewish immigrants from Austria. He went to Tel Aviv University, where Robert Aumann became his mentor; he earned a bachelor's degree there in 1969 and a master's in 1971. He completed his doctorate in 1974 from Stanford University, in operations research, under the supervision of Arthur F. Veinott.
