Shavit Ben-Arie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shavit Ben-Arie (Hebrew: שביט בן-אריה‎; born 1985) is director of Yad Levi Eshkol and author of the book Havrot HaKnesset ("Female Members of the Knesset").

Between 2004 and 2011, Ben-Arie led an initiative documenting the lives and public actions of female Knesset members throughout history.[1][2] His final publication showcases the life stories of all women members of the Israeli parliament in the years 1949-2011, alongside a preliminary research on women who served in the Assembly of Representatives during the British Mandate for Palestine. The book was published on International Women's Day in 2011 and introduced in a festive sitting of the parliamentary committee on the status of women.

In 2014 he was appointed as director of Yad Levi Eshkol.[3] The Levi Eshkol House in Jerusalem was opened in 2016 after a process of conservation and curation.[4]

Ben-Arie holds an undergraduate degree in political science, sociology and anthropology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a graduate degree in government and public policy.[verification needed] He lectures in Israel and abroad on women in Israeli politics.

The organization honored him as "Man of the Year" for "contribution to the public awareness of women's leadership".[5]
