Avoth Yeshurun

Yeshurun spent a great deal of time in rural Jewish and Arab villages, intermittently dredging swamps, picking fruit and working as a watchman and a construction worker. His family was killed during the Holocaust. In later years he became a regular contributor to the literary journal Siman Qri’a. After his death in 1992 he was awarded the Israel Prize.
