Aryeh Newman

He worked many years at the Jewish Agency of the World Zionist Organization, and served as a Senior Lecturer and Head of Department of English as a Foreign Language at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Newman conducted extensive research and teaching in the field of linguistics, and was known for his translation and adaptation of the writings of Nehama Leibowitz.

In January 1941, Newman won a scholarship to study English Literature at Emmanuel College at Cambridge University, where he graduated with honours and obtained his master's degree.

Newman was also the producer and broadcaster of English radio programs in Kol Zion Lagolah that were focused on the Anglo-Jewish Diaspora.

Newman saw the importance of using various models to provide insight regarding translation equivalence involving sound, syntax, semantics and pragmatics.
