Yitshak Orpaz (Hebrew: יצחק אוורבוך אורפז; 15 October 1921 – 14 August 2015) was an Israeli writer.
[1] Yitzhak Orpaz was born in Zinkiv, Ukraine, at the time USSR.
He enlisted in the British Army during the Second World War and served in the Jewish Brigade.
He studied philosophy and Hebrew literature at Tel Aviv University.
As part of his process of "returning to the roots", Orpaz re-adopted the original surname of Averbuch, previously abandoned by his family for the sake of "Israeliness".
