Life

Mordechai Breuer was a son of Samson and Else Leah Breuer. Through his father he was a great-grandson of Samson Raphael Hirsch and a cousin of the historian Mordechai Breuer, who was born in Frankfurt in 1918 . After the transfer of power to the National Socialists in 1933, he and his family had to emigrate to the League of Nations mandate for Palestine .

Breuer attended the yeshiva in Hebron and the Kol Torah in Jerusalem . He then taught the Tanakh in various schools in Israel .

Breuer translated Samson Raphael Hirsch's commentary on the Torah from German into Hebrew. Breuer did research on the Codex of Aleppo , which he believed to be the original text of the traditional Tanach . The Keter Yerushalayim Bible printed after this research is the version of the Tanach text recognized by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and since 2001 by the Knesseth .

Breuer received the Bialik Prize in 1984 and the Israel Prize in 1999 and was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
