Yossi Klein Halevi
A senior fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, Yossi Klein Halevi has won numerous awards as journalist and book author. He and Donniel Hartman, the president of the Institute, can be heard discussing the latest political and social trends in Israel each week on their popular podcast, “For Heaven’s Sake.”
Halevi’s 2013 book, Like Dreamers, won the Jewish Book Council's Everett Book of the Year Award. His latest book, Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor, was a New York Times bestseller. He writes for leading op-ed pages in the U.S., including the Times and the Wall Street Journal, and is a former contributing editor to the New Republic.
His 2001 book, At the Entrance to the Garden of Eden: A Jew’s Search for God with Christians and Muslims in the Holy Land, will be reissued in 2019 by HarperCollins.
His first book, Memoirs of a Jewish Extremist, tells the story of his teenage years as a follower of the militant rightwing rabbi Meir Kahane, and his subsequent disillusionment with Jewish radicalism. The New York Times called it “a book of burning importance.”
Together with Imam Abdullah Antepli of Duke University, he co-directs the Hartman Institute's Muslim Leadership Initiative (MLI), which teaches emerging young Muslim American leaders about Judaism, Jewish identity and Israel.
Born in Brooklyn, Yossi moved to Israel in 1982, and lives in Jerusalem with wife, Sarah, who helps run a center for Jewish meditation. They have three children.
