Dorit Rabinyan (Hebrew: דורית רביניאן; born September 25, 1972) is an Israeli writer and screenwriter.

[3] Her 2014 novel, Gader Haya (initially known as Borderlife in English, later published as All the Rivers), which tells a love story between an Israeli woman and a Palestinian man and semi-biographical,[4] has become the center of controversy.

[5] In 2015, a committee of teachers requested Borderlife be added to the recommended curriculum for Hebrew high school literature classes.

A committee in the Israeli Ministry of Education found the book inappropriate and declined to add it, on the grounds, according to The Economist, that it promotes intermarriage and assimilation.

The decision led to protests from high school teachers and principals and opposition politician Isaac Herzog.
