Biography edit

Mordechai Ish-Shalom was born in Lithuania during the reign of the Russian Empire. He immigrated to Mandate Palestine in 1923. His labor career began in the Stonecutters' Union in 1935; he then rose through the ranks of the Histadrut, the Israeli trade union congress.[1]

In 1964, Ish-Shalom established an interdisciplinary professional team to plan the modernization of Jerusalem.[2]

In the 1970s, he was instrumental in the development of Kiryat Wolfson, a five-tower high-rise project overlooking Sacher Park.[3]

Ish-Shalom died on 21 February 1991.[a][1]
