Biography

Born in Viļaka in the Russian Empire (today in Latvia), Don-Yihye made aliyah to Mandatory Palestine in 1931. He studied at the Mercaz HaRav yeshiva and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. After being certified as a teacher he worked in Kfar Yabetz and Kfar Hasidim.

A member of Hapoel HaMizrachi, he was amongst the founders of the party's HaTzofe newspaper and a member of its editorial board from its foundation. In 1948 he became its editor, remaining in post until 1981. He was on the National Religious Party list for the 1965 elections, and entered the Knesset after the party won 11 seats. However, he resigned after nine days, and was replaced by Frija Zoaretz.[1]

He died in 1981.
