Biography

Born in Pinsk in the Russian Empire (today in Belarus), Efrati received his primary education in a heder. He made aliyah to Ottoman-controlled Palestine in 1914, and studied at an agricultural high school in Petah Tikva. In 1917, he joined the group that settled Be'er Tuvia. Between 1923 and 1925 he worked at an agricultural research station at Ben Shemen and moved to kibbutz Geva in 1925.

Efrati was a member of Hapoel Hatzair, and later Mapai, as well as being one of the leaders of HaMerkaz HaHakla'i. In 1949, he was elected to the first Knesset on the Mapai list. He was re-elected in 1951, and on 9 July 1952 was appointed Deputy Minister of Agriculture in the third government. He was re-elected again in 1955, 1959 and 1961, before losing his seat in the 1965 elections. He died in 1975 at the age of 77.

gollark: Hey, humans could TOTALLY mess up in that way too!
gollark: *But* some single humans could... probably break civilization.
gollark: Not entirely, no.
gollark: As technology improves this will probably get even more problematic as individual humans get able to throw around more energy to do things.
gollark: > A human gone rogue can be stopped easily enoughI mean, a hundred years ago, a rogue human might have had a gun or something, and could maybe shoot a few people before they were stopped. Nowadays, humans have somewhat easier access to chemical stuff and can probably get away with making bombs or whatever, while some control advanced weapons systems, and theoretically Trump and others have access to nukes.Also, I think on-demand commercial DNA printing is a thing now and with a few decades more development and some biology knowledge you could probably print smallpox or something?
