Biography[edit]
Born in Brașov, Transylvania, Romania, Benny Hendel emigrated to Israel with his parents in 1959 from the town of Sibiu.[2] His parents were Jews from Bucovina, survivors of the Holocaust [3]camps and ghettos of Transnistria. The family and the region where he was brought up in Romania were multicultural and multilingual. In Israel he became a graduate of the Hebrew University Secondary School and then, of the Departments of Linguistics and English Language and Literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.[4]
He began his artistic career in 1969 as a singer and actor in the Jerusalem Khan Theatre production of Everyman (play), a medieval musical morality-play directed by Aryeh Sachs, where he played the role of God.[4]
In 1970 he became an actor in children's radio plays at Kol Israel, Israel's public radio service,[4] In 1974, he was appointed editor, announcer, and presenter at Kol Israel. In 1979, he participated in the dubbing of the animated series Once Upon a Time... Man on the Israeli Educational Television. [5]
From 1980 to 1982, he served as an envoy (Shaliah) of the Jewish Agency[4] to the Jewish Federation of Morris County and Sussex County in New Jersey. [4]
Upon his return to Kol Israel, he edited and presented "personal tone" cultural programs:Shavshevet (Weather Vane): folk songs; Tyutot (Drafts): words meet sounds; Hugá (Woodlark) (1985-1997): conversations with a wide range of travelers and specialists combined with world music - appreciated as a "natural reserve of culture and spiritual health" and a "flagship of Alef channel"[6][7] and Academia Be'alef (Academy on Channel A) (1997-2005):Interviews with scientists and university lecturers. [8][9] [10]
Hendel's broadcasts and interviews had a devoted audience, and upon his early retirement, in 2005, listeners conducted a campaign to allow his programs to continue in an independent framework.[11][12]
Hendel is a translator of prose and poetry from English, German and Yiddish into the Hebrew language. Among the poets he has translated are William Wordsworth, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, W. H. Auden, Edmund Burke, Heinrich Heine, Bertolt Brecht, Itzik Manger, Leonard Cohen, and Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein, and A. A. Milne.[13].[14] Poems by Tennyson (The Lady of Shalott)[15], Wordsworth (We are seven), Milne etc translated by Benny Hendel served inspiration to chamber music pieces of the Israeli composer Moshe Zorman which were played at the Music Festival of the Upper Galilee in Kfar Blum [16] and at the "Maestro Eyn Hod" Festival with Benny Hendel as narrator [17] Hendel appears as a facilitator and discussion moderator at conferences, ceremonies, and music and literature evenings in Israel and abroad, at universities and cultural institutes, including Yad Vashem,Yad Ben Zvi, Beit Shalom Aleichem, Beit Ariela, Mishkenot Sha'ananim, and more. He acts also as a presenter and narrator in concerts with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, the Jerusalem Baroque Orchestra, the Israel Camerata Jerusalem, Phoenix Ensemble[18] and more. In addition, he writes the concert programs for the Israel Camerata Jerusalem and the Israel Chamber Orchestra [19][20][21]
