Nahman Raz (Hebrew: נחמן רז; 9 December 1924 – 5 July 2015) was an Israeli politician who served as a member of the Knesset for the Alignment between 1983 and 1988.
Born Nahman Rizhyk in Ein Harod during the Mandate era, Raz was educated at a high school in kibbutz Geva, before attending the Teachers Seminary at Beit Berl and studying history and literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
After it merged into the United Kibbutz Movement in 1981, he became a member of its secretariat.
He was also a member of the central committee of the Labor Party, and was on the Alignment list (an alliance of the Labor Party and Mapam) for the 1981 elections.
Although he failed to win a seat, he entered the Knesset on 22 March 1983 as a replacement for Chaim Herzog,[1] who had been elected President.
