Biography

Born in the Caucasus area of the Soviet Union in 1919, Assa made aliyah to Mandate Palestine in 1924. He studied at the HaNoar HaOved school in Tel Aviv and also a member of the movement. He also attended the Kibbutz Seminar in Tel Aviv, and was amongst the founders of kibbutz Hulata in 1946, where he worked as a teacher.

A member of the directorate of the Department for Middle Eastern Jews at the Jewish Agency, he served as an emissary of Mossad LeAliyah Bet in Iraq, and between 1953 and 1954 also worked in Iran and Turkey.

Assa was also a member of Ahdut HaAvoda, and was on the party's list for the 1955 elections. Although he failed to win a seat, he entered the Knesset on 19 September 1958 as a replacement for the deceased Avraham Abaas.[1] However, he lost his seat in the 1959 elections.

gollark: I resent it somewhat, because while Go has very cool *libraries* and such, and the tooling at least seems to work nicely even if it's somewhat insane, the language is really unpleasant.
gollark: Why not copyright in general?
gollark: I've messed with Codex for a few things, and it's *generally* quite capable of matching my particular style of programming if it has a big sample of it to start with.
