Yoram Kaniuk, a multifaceted individual, entered this world on May 2, 1930, in the vibrant city of Tel Aviv, Palestine, a territory that would later become a part of Israel.
As a writer, he left an indelible mark on the literary world, with his notable works including the 1969 film "Before Tomorrow", the 1987 cinematic masterpiece "Himmo, King of Jerusalem", and the 1971 literary endeavour "I Am a Jerusalemite".
Throughout his life, he was blessed with the love and companionship of two remarkable women, Miranda Baker and Lee Theodore, who shared in his joys and sorrows.
Tragically, his life came to a close on June 8, 2013, in the same city where he was born, Tel Aviv, Israel, leaving behind a legacy that would continue to inspire and influence generations to come.
