Haim Be'er

Haim Be'er, born Rechlevski in Jerusalem on 9 February 1945 into an observant family, was raised between a father from Volhynia and a mother from the city's old community. He served in the military rabbinate while correcting proofs at night for the daily Davar, joined Am Oved in 1966, where he was an editor until 1999, and wrote the column “Memoirs of a Bookworm” in Davar. In 1990, far-right activists set fire to his door because he had been chosen to light a torch on Independence Day. A professor emeritus of Hebrew literature, he lives in Ramat Gan.
