Daniella Weiss AshkenazyDaniella (née Weiss) Ashkenazy was born and raised in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area and immigrated to Israel more than 50 years ago (in 1968 in her early twenties). She is a well-published bilingual Israeli freelance journalist. With an undergaduate degree in sociology and a lifetime as a history buff with far-ranging reading tastes, since 1985 Ashkenazy's works-commentary, political analysis, humor and satire columns and major features-have appeared in Hebrew and English in Israel's leading papers and periodicals, from the Jerusalem Post and Israel Scene to Davar, HaOlam HaZeh and Yediot. Her highly stylized features in Hebrew were often quoted on Israeli radio among the 'best reads' of the weekend papers. Parallel to journalism, Ashkenazy freelances as a translator and developmental editor for Israeli academics. As a pen-for-hire, she researched and ghostwrote two books and countless white papers and op-eds for Myths and Facts about the Israeli-Arab conflict. Ashkenazy also served as editor-contributor to a well-received academic volume published in 1994 by Greenwood Press about the IDF's non-military facets and the Challenge of the Dual-Role Military. She lives with her husband Rafi in Kfar Warburg-a rural village south of Tel Aviv, and has three adult children and four grandchildren.
