Excerpt: Yehuda Amichai (Hebrew: ; May 3, 1924 September 22, 2000) was an Israeli poet. Amichai is considered by many, both in Israel and internationally, as Israel's greatest modern poet. He was also one of the first to write in colloquial Hebrew. Yehuda Amichai (Ludwig Pfeuffer) was born in Würzburg, Germany, to an Orthodox Jewish family, and was raised speaking both Hebrew and German. Amichai immigrated with his family at the age of 11 to Petah Tikva in Mandate Palestine in 1935, moving to Jerusalem in 1936. He attended Ma'aleh, a religious high school in Jerusalem. He was a member of the Palmach, the strike force of the Haganah, the defence force of the Jewish community in pre-state Israel. As a young man he volunteered and fought in World War II as a member of the British Army Jewish Brigade, and in the Negev on the southern front in the Israeli War of Independence. After the War of Independence, Amichai studied Bible and Hebrew literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

He was the fifth Prime Minister of Israel, serving two terms in office, 19741977 and 1992 until his assassination in 1995. In 1994, Rabin won the Nobel Peace Prize together with Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat.

A great poet
Yehuda Amichai was a great poet. His work speaks on many levels to a wide audience of readers, and for Israelis he is something like a national poet. He writes of the experiences of War and Love in an ironic colloquial language which often has Biblical reference and echo. Raised as a religious Jew the literature of the Tradition is part of his heritage and often plays and comments on it. Amichai learned much from American colloquial language poets, and moved away from the formal language of his predecessors. He is very much a poet of Jerusalem and its special landcape, heritage and world. Above all he speaks to the universal in the heart of Man, to all that we dream to be in love, and death, life and poetry. .
