Yehuda Amichai

Born on May 3, 1924, in the city of Wurzburg, Germany, Yehuda Amichai is acclaimed as one of Israel’s top modern poets, not only within the country but also throughout the entire world.

He belonged to an Orthodox Jewish family and learned to speak both German and Hebrew while growing up. At eleven years of age, he immigrated to Mandate Palestine with his family, and a year later they all moved to Jerusalem, where he attended the religious high school Ma'Aleh. After high school, he became a member of the Palmach, an elite force of the Israeli community’s underground army in Mandate Palestine, and voluntarily joined the British Army during World War II.

After he was discharged, he went on to study in Jerusalem at the David Yellin Teachers College. Later he studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he was persuaded by his professors to try to publish his poetry. In 1955, he did just that when his debut book "Now and in Other Days" went into print. From that point on, Amichai had numerous writings published, including novels such as "Not of This Time" and "Not of this Place" and other collections of poetry. Some of his works included "A Life of Poetry," "Songs of Jerusalem and Myself," and "Time."

Amichai's unique writing style plays with the sounds of words. Married twice with three children, he succumbed to cancer in the year 2000.
