Author

Haim Watzman was born in 1956 in Cleveland, Ohio and grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland. After receiving a B.A. from Duke University he moved to Israel, where he has lived since 1978 and worked as a freelance translator and journalist. His translations include Tom Segev's The Seventh Million, Elvis in Jerusalem, and One Palestine Complete, as well as David Grossman's The Yellow Wind, Sleeping on a Wire, and Death as a Way of Life. He writes from Israel for The Chronicle of Higher Education and for the British science journal Nature. He lives in Jerusalem with his wife and four children. He is an active member of Kehilat Yedidya, a liberal Orthodox community equally concerned about democracy in Israeli society and traditional Jewish values.

Haim's Denver-based sister, Nancy Watzman is a Muckraking Mom. On her unique and hard-hitting blog, Muckraking Mom, you can read about how the unholy marriage of big money and politics affects the lives of families like hers--while becoming acquainted with Haim's incredibly cute nephew, Leo.
