Early Life
Yachimovich was born in Kfar Saba. Her father, Moshe, was a construction worker and her mother, Hanna, a teacher. Both parents were Holocaust survivors who immigrated to Israel from Poland. She became politically engaged at an early age, and was expelled from Ostrovsky high school in Raanana at age 15 for hanging up posters denouncing the principal’s style of leadership. In 1985, Yachimovich graduated from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev with a degree in behavioural science.
