Biography
Eliyahu Meridor (1914–1966) trained as a lawyer before devoting himself to the Revisionist movement and helping to shape the new state through service in the first Knesset, where he advocated for immigrants, security veterans, and a measured approach to national infrastructure. His deep understanding of law and commitment to public service made him a respected bridge between the courtroom and the deliberative hall.
He left behind a legacy of integrity, including children who continued in public life, and he is remembered in Har HaMenuchot for his steady leadership and legal mind.
