All ten siblings of his father, Rabbi David Kaveh, did not survive the Holocaust.[2] The Kaveh family made aliyah to Israel in 1950.[2]

He is a Professor in the Department of Physics at Bar-Ilan University. He has published over 300 articles on physics.[1] Kaveh was Chairman of the Department, Dean of the school's Faculty of Natural Sciences, and Rector of Bar-Ilan.[2]

Kaveh was President of Bar-Ilan University from 1996 to 2013, succeeding Shlomo Eckstein and followed by Daniel Hershkowitz.[4][5] In 2013 he resigned.[6][7] Kaveh was chairman of Israel's Committee of University Presidents.[8]

In 2008 the Israel Council for Higher Education awarded Kaveh its Prize for Higher Education.[1]
