He currently lives in Jerusalem. == Biography == Yuval Elizur was born in Jerusalem on October 21, 1927. His father’s family came to Israel from Lithuania in the 1840s to escape assimilation. During Yuval’s childhood, his father left the walled Old City of Jerusalem in order to join the new Zionist arrivals. From 1945-1947, Yuval served in the Palmach, the striking force of the Haganah (Defense), the illegal army of the majority of Israeli Jews in Palestine. After the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, he became an Intelligence Officer in the newly established Israeli Air Force. As a teenager, Elizur dreamed of becoming a journalist, and found a way to balance the quest for a career in writing with duty to country in the Palmah.〔,〕 In 1953, Yuval finished an undergraduate degree in economics from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In 1954, he obtained an MSc in Journalism from Columbia University and became the first Israeli to attend the Pulitzer School. While in New York, he met his wife, Judith Neulander, who had obtained a PhD in Political Science from Harvard University. After returning to Jerusalem, Yuval started working as a journalist for ''Ha’aretz'' and later for ''Ma’ariv'', where he worked for 38 years until retiring in 2005 from his position as Deputy Editor. He also served as the Israeli correspondent for ''The Washington Post'' and ''The Boston Globe''. During his years as a journalist, he took two leaves of absence in order to serve in the Israeli Foreign Office, mainly on the subject of economic warfare. Between 1964 and 1966, he served as Consul at the Consulate General of Israel in New York. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yuval Elizur」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
