Life and work
[edit]Born in Jerusalem, the second of eight children. His father, Rabbi Moshe Yekutiel Alpert, was a prominent figure in the Old Yishuv and the Mukhtar of the Beit Israel neighborhood on behalf of the British Mandate authorities.
In his youth, he joined the Irgun movement, where his nickname in the underground was Moshe'le or Moshe Athlet. Due to his membership in the organization, he was arrested by the British Mandate authorities and taken to the Latrun detention camp.[2]
In the following years, he served as secretary of the Herut party in the Knesset, and Menachem Begin's personal secretary until his death in 1963,[3] when he was replaced by Yechiel Kadishai.
