Ofra Offer Oren

Ofra Offer Oren (Hebrew: עופרה עופר אורן, born July 4, 1951) is an Israeli writer, poet, blogger, translator and editor.

Offer Oren is a graduate of the English Literature Department at Tel Aviv University, where she also studied cinema and theater.

For about forty years, Offer Oren taught English, both within the formal education system in Israel (including the prestigious Thelma Yellin School of Arts in Givatayim)[1] and in extracurricular settings.

In 2015, Offer Oren retired from teaching, in part due to her criticism of the English curriculum and the requirements of the Israeli Ministry of Education.

[4] Her books deal with a variety of topics: "Indirect speech" describes a rupture and collapse of the marriage of a young couple.

[6] "The Truths We Never Told" tells us about the side effects and consequences of “the Kasztner affair” on the fate of Hungarian Jews during and after World War II.

In 2023, Offer Oren published a unique work which combines fiction and poetry – the novel "What Happened to Hagar in Eilat?"

[15] This is a very rare writing style, that was used by Alexander Pushkin in Eugene Onegin and by Vikram Seth in The Golden Gate.

Some of which are works by Isaac Bashevis Singer, Graham Greene, Jack London, Jeffrey Archer, Carol Shields, Jim Crace and Helen Fisher.
