Yossi Klein Halevi is the Israel correspondent of the New Republic and a senior fellow at the Shalem Center, a Jerusalem-based think tank. He has been a columnist for the Jerusalem Post, a regular contributor on Israeli affairs to the Los Angeles Times, and an occasional contributor to the New York Times and the Washington Post. He is author of "At the Entrance to the Garden of Eden: A Jew's Search for God with Christians and Muslims in the Holy Land." The novelist Cynthia Ozick called it "a permanent masterwork;" the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, called it "extraordinary and heartbreaking." He has been active in Mid-East reconciliation efforts, serving as chairman of Open House, an Arab-Jewish educational project in the working-class town of Ramle. He was a founder and board member of the now-defunct Israeli-Palestinian Media Forum, which brought together Israeli and Palestinian journalists. Born and raised in New York, he moved to Israel in 1982. He lives in
 Jerusalem with his wife, Sarah, a geneticist, and their three children.
