Haviv Rettig Gur

Senior Analyst

Haviv Rettig Gur, senior analyst at The Times of Israel, has become one of the most essential interpreters of the Jewish story in an age of noise and distortion. A historian by training and a journalist by craft, Rettig Gur brings deep historical knowledge to contemporary crises, situating Israel's dilemmas within the longer arc of Jewish peoplehood. Yet it is not only his command of facts that distinguishes him. He speaks with uncommon humanity, treating even the most painful subjects with empathy and moral seriousness. At a time of fury and fragmentation, Rettig Gur models something rare: intellectual rigor joined to wisdom, and analysis grounded in love for the Jewish people. He is one of our finest representatives.
