== Life ==
Taub's maternal grandparents were Zionist pioneers who came from Poland to Palestine, in the 1920s when the country was still under the British Mandate, to participate in the creation of a Jewish state. His father fled Czechoslovakia in 1939 after the Nazi invasion but before the beginning of the Holocaust. He arrived in Palestine and was interned by the British along with his father. He later fought in the 1948 War of Independence, where he was injured. After the war, having lost his ability to work with his hands, Taub's father studied economics and law, and later became deputy to the President of the Bank of Israel.
Gadi Taub grew up in Jerusalem, and did his 3 years mandatory military service in the Israeli Air Force. From 1986 to 1998 he worked as a writer and presenter of children's programs on Israeli radio and television. In the meantime he completed his bachelor's degree in History and General Humanities at Tel Aviv University, wrote a bestselling book of short stories, and an influential book of essays, ''A Dispirited Rebellion: Essays on Contemporary Israeli Culture'', (Hebrew) which was highly critical of the postmodern trend in Israeli literature, popular culture, and academia. From 1998 to 2003 he was a Fellow at Rutgers University, New Jersey, where he received his PhD in American History for his thesis on American liberalism and philosophical pragmatism. Meanwhile he continued to write prose, including the award winning novel for young adults, The Witch From 3 Meltchet Street (Hebrew). Since 2003 he has taught at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem where he became a senior lecturer in 2010. In 2007 he published a book about religious settlers, which later saw an English version at Yale University Press. In this book Taub argues that the Settlement movement, far from being a continuation of Zionism, is actually a negation of it. In 2010 he published a short book entitled ''What Is Zionism'', available in Hebrew on the web. In 2009 he published a bestselling novel named ''Allenby Street'', which shed light on some less visible quarters of Israeli society – the backstreets, late night bars and strip clubs of Tel Aviv. Taub was both creator and co-screenwriter (along with Erez Kavel) of a TV series based on his novel. The series was broadcast on Israel's Channel 10 in 2012, and was a major hit.
Since 1996 Gadi Taub has been a regular columnist for daily newspapers in Israel, first in Maariv and later in Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel's largest daily. He has written political and cultural commentaries for the American and European press, including The New York Times, The New Republic, Die Zeit, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Corriere della Sera, and others. He was a regular panelist on Channel 10's political show ''Council of the Wise''. He is a member of the academic council of ''The Metzila Center for Zionist, Jewish, Liberal and Humanist Thought''.〔(Metzilah Center )〕
