Colonel Yehuda Levy served as the president and publisher of the Israeli English daily newspaper The Jerusalem Post.

For the actor, see Yehuda Levi.

Overview

Levy served as a Jewish National Fund emissary in Vancouver, Canada, where he befriended Hollinger president David Radler. After representing Hollinger during its purchase of The Jerusalem Post from Koor and Bank Hapoalim in 1989, Levy was appointed the paper's president and publisher,[1] posts he held until 1997. In that time, Yehuda Levy turned the Jerusalem Post into a profitable company and raised the circulation of its titles. Following his retirement from the Post, Levy helped found Makor Rishon, a Hebrew weekly. He served as its editor and general manager during its first year of operation. Before his work at the Jewish National Fund, he served 25 years in the Israeli Defense Forces.[2]

Levy died in his sleep at the age of 64 in Jerusalem on January 26, 2000.[3]

gollark: The wikipedia page for `The Underground History of American Education` seems to have archive.org links to some stuff, but naturally my mobile network blocks archive.org because that makes sense and is an entirely reasonable thing to do.
gollark: I've heard it said that it works more to teach conformity, or make people happier with low level abuse.
gollark: "What, you can just *look up* that information in ten seconds? Nope! Not allowed! Let us never speak of such things."
gollark: Or forcing people to memorize useless information they will never need so that they can remember it for long enough to write down the right bits in an exam so that someone can say that they Know™ this subject... oh wait.
gollark: Also, universities are horribly expensive in the UK, even though meanwhile on the other side of the Scottish border they manage to provide free tuition, which is, er, bad.
