Scope and Contents
Avraham B. Yoffe was born in Belz, Bessarabia (now in Western Ukraine), on March 13, 1924. He emigrated to Israel in 1940,
and in 1943 began a prolific literary career which included poetry, literary criticism, pieces for radio and film as well
as editing dozens of books. In 1950, Yoffe joined the editorial board of Al Hamishmar, the newspaper affiliated with Mapam
