President Reuven Rivlin eulogized author Aharon Megged, who passed away on Wednesday morning.
“Aharon Megged was writer and playwright who won the Israel Prize for his deep and unique literary works… His various protagonists were always human, vulnerable; so similar to us. They expressed what the Jewish nation went through and continues to go through.”
“Aharon Megged accompanied and immortalized an entire generation in his writings, a generation that gave the Jewish nation the gift of independence and sovereignty. Ma he be of blessed memory.”
