Biography
Born in Austria, Ilan made aliyah to Israel, and was involved in the Haganah.[1] She joined kibbutz Ein Tzurim in 1951, and from 1951 until 1960, she worked with Youth Aliyah. From 1961 until 1972, she was the headmistress of Shafir Regional high school. In 1987, she established the Yaakov Herzog Centre for Jewish Studies in Ein Tzurim, and was its director until 2001, and is now its president.[2]
For the 2003 elections, she was placed 27th on the joined Labor Party-Meimad list [3] (the second placed Meimad candidate after party leader Michael Melchior), but missed out on a seat when the alliance won only 19 seats. However, she entered the Knesset on 21 January 2006 as a replacement for Efi Oshaya (who had entered the Knesset three days previously as a replacement for Haim Ramon, who had left the party to join Kadima). Because the Knesset was already in recess prior to the next elections, she chose not to take her salary, and donated it to young olim.[4]
She was not included on the party's list for the March 2006 elections,[5] and subsequently lost her seat.
