}}Rivka Basman Ben-Hayim (born February 20, 1925)[1] is a Yiddish poet and educator. She was the recipient of the Itzik Manger Prize in 1984.[2][2] Basman was also awarded the Chaim Zhitlowsky Prize in 1998.[2][2]

Early life

Rivka Basman was born in Wilkomir, Lithuania to parents Yekhezkel and Tsipora (née Heyman).[2] While in school, she and her friends were excited to read the poems and stories of Kadya Molodowsky, a Yiddish woman writer.[2] Basman's father and her younger brother Arele were killed by the Germans in the Baltic.[8] During World War II, Basman spent about two years in the Vilna ghetto.[2] After that she was sent to the Kaiserwald concentration camp in Riga.[2]

Basman started writing poetry at Kaiserwald in order to cheer up fellow inmates.[2] When the camp was liquidated, she saved her poems by smuggling them out in her mouth.[2] After liberation, Basman lived in Belgrade from 1945 to 1947. While there she married Shmuel "Mula" Ben-Hayim[3] and with him engaged in smuggling Jews out of Europe and past the British naval blockade to enter Mandate Palestine.[2]

Education

In 1947 Basman made aliyah and then joined Kibbutz HaMa'apil.[2] She received her teaching diploma from the Teachers' Seminary in Tel Aviv.[4] She also studied literature while in New York at Columbia University.[4] At her kibbutz she taught children and also joined the Yiddish poets' group Yung Yisroel ("Young Israel")[2] While on the kibbutz she wrote and published her first volume of poetry, Toybn baym brunem (Doves at the Well), in 1959.[2]

Writing career

During the years 1963 to 1965, her husband became the cultural attaché from Israel to the Soviet Union.[3][5] Basman taught the children of the diplomats in Moscow during her time there.[3] She also met with Russian Yiddish authors.[3]

Basman wrote her poems mostly in Yiddish.[3] Since that time many of her poems have been translated into Hebrew.[3] While he was living, her husband did the design and all of the illustrations for her books.[3] After his death, she took his family name and added it in with hers.[3]

Basman resides in Herzliyyah Pituah.[6] She continues to write poetry and is the head of the Union of Yiddish Writers located in Tel Aviv.[6]
