MK Shelly Yechimovich (Zionist Union) on Monday night eulogized historian Ze'ev Tzachor, who passed away at the age of 76.
"Ze’ev was my favorite professor when I was a student at Ben Gurion University. We came to be friends as only he knew how to be a friend of his students, without detachment and impartiality," she said.
"He was a curious, knowledgeable, idealistic, and fascinating lecturer. I learned a lot from him and we kept in close contact throughout the years. His untimely death is sad, both on a personal as well as a national level,” added Yechimovich.
