Timeline

1905

Nechama Leibowitz (נחמה ליבוביץ׳; September 3, 1905 – April 12, 1997) was an Israeli Bible scholar and commentator who rekindled interest in Bible study.

Nechama Leibowitz was born to an Orthodox Jewish family in Riga two years after her elder brother, the philosopher Yeshayahu Leibowitz.

1919

The family moved to Berlin in 1919.

1930

In 1930, Leibowitz received a doctorate from the University of Marburg for her thesis, Techniques in the Translations of German-Jewish Biblical Translations.

That same year 1930, she immigrated to Mandate Palestine with her husband Yedidya Lipman Lebowitz.

She taught at a religious Zionist teachers' seminar for the next twenty-five years.

1942

In 1942, Leibowitz began mailing out stencils of questions on the weekly Torah reading to anyone who requested them.

These worksheets, which she called gilyonot (pages), were sent back to her, and she personally reviewed them and returned them with corrections and comments.

1954

In 1954, Leibowitz began publishing her "Studies", which included many of the questions that appeared on her study sheets, along with selected traditional commentaries and her own notes on them.

Over time, these studies were collected into five books, one for each book of the Torah.

These books were subsequently translated into English by Rabbi Aryeh (Laibel/Leonard) Newman.

When asked to describe her methods she replied, "I have no derech... I only teach what the commentaries say. Nothing is my own."

She was noted for her modest demeanor coupled with wry wit, and always preferred the title of "teacher" over the more "professor".

In accordance with her request, "מורה" (morah, "teacher") is the only word inscribed on her tombstone, other than her name and dates.

She was strict on marking mistakes in Hebrew test papers, and hated the code-switching "Heblish" of some anglophone immigrants.

1957

In 1957 she began lecturing at Tel Aviv University, and became a full professor eleven years later.

She also gave classes at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and other educational institutions around the country.

In addition to her writings, Leibowitz commented on the Torah readings regularly for the Voice of Israel radio station.

Her husband, Yedidya Lipman Leibowitz, was also her uncle.

At her funeral, her nephew said that he is like a son to her and many of her students said kaddish for her together with her nephew.

She is seen as a great religious role model for young religious children in Israel, and the Ne'emanei Torah Va'Avodah organization has encouraged the public school system in Israel to incorporate her into the selection of biographies that are studied by Israeli children in primary schools.
