==Biography==
Harold Zvi Schiffrin was born in 1922 in Rochester, NY. In 1943, as a college student, he was conscripted into the US Army and stationed at the Pacific front. The army sent him to University of California, Berkeley, to study Chinese language and culture (1943–44); upon graduating he was stationed in Manila, where there was at the time a large community of Chinese immigrants. In 1948, he immigrated to Israel in the framework of MACHAL (overseas volunteers). Between 1955 and 1957 he returned to Berkeley and completed his M.A. in Chinese Studies under the supervision of Robert A. Scalapino. He returned to Israel to pursue his PhD under S.N. Eisenstadt. In 1961 he received his PhD from the Department of Sociology, the Hebrew University and continued with postdoctoral research at Harvard University.
On his return, he joined the Hebrew University's academic staff. By 1958, he was offering courses in Chinese history, that were attracting large crowds of students. Throughout the 1960s, when history and languages of China and Japan were still considered an esoteric academic pursuit in Israel, he insisted on the centrality of East Asia in general, and China in particular, to the political and economic international arena. In 1968 his efforts culminated in the foundation of the Department of East Asian Studies at the Hebrew University (then known as the Department of Chinese and Japanese Studies the first of its kind in Israel.. Japanese studies was represented at the time by Avraham Altman) Schiffrin laid the foundations for the research and teaching of Chinese Studies in Israel. He assembled to the department top researchers in the field and trained the next generations of East Asia researchers in Israel. He retired in 1990, and continued to research and participate in the department's life.
Schiffrin was also dean of the School for Overseas Students (1968–70), headed the Harry S. Truman Institute for the Advancement of Peace (1979–87), and chaired the US-Israel Educational Foundation (Fulbright Program; 1980–87). His activities on both national and international level for the aliyah of Jews from the Soviet Union and the release of Prisoners of Zion won worldwide recognition. He also held research and teaching positions at Harvard (1962–63) and Berkeley (1988–89), and was a guest of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing long before China and Israel established diplomatic relations. In 2010, he was chosen by the National Library of China as one of "the hundred greatest Sinologists of all times."
