I.M. Lask(“In the Heart of the Seas”), born in London in 1905 and arrived in the Land of Israel in 1930, was a journalist, editor and poet, but most well known as a premier translator of Hebrew and Yiddish literature to English. In addition to the works of Yehuda Halevi, Tchernichovsky, Bialik, Hazaz, Shenhar, Martin Buber and numerous poets and authors, he was one of the earliest and most prolific English translators of Agnon. Additionally, as Holocaust papers and documents started to reach Palestine starting already in 1939, he was responsible for preparing English translations for the Jewish Agency. Israel Meir Lask, who died in 1974, was married to Luba Pevsner, and they had two daughters Ruth Rasnic and Bella Doron, both authors, and a son, Amittai, who was killed in the Israeli Air Force in 1956.

Walter Lever(“Tehilla”) was born in London and came to Jerusalem in 1947 to teach English Literature at the Hebrew University and was a significant translator of Hebrew literature to English. He published a memoir of his early days in Israel under the title Jerusalem is Called Liberty .

He has also translated a selection from the poetry of Yehuda Halevi, Poems from the Diwan , and a book of essays, The Dune’s Twisted Edge: Journeys in the Levant. He lives in Jerusalem.

Rhonna Weber Rogol(co-translator, “Two Scholars Who Were in Our Town”), a Montreal native, attributes her passion for Hebrew language and literature to the inspiration of her 7th grade teacher and beloved lifelong friend, the late Shlomo Jaacobi. She studied Hebrew from childhood at Shaare Zion Academy and Herzliah High School and later at Brandeis University and Hebrew University of Jerusalem. An attorney by profession, Rogol engages in volunteer work and Jewish and Holocaust education, enjoying both learning and teaching, and mostly spending time with her wonderfully supportive husband Brian, and their three children, Alissa, Joshua and Dane.
