David Shimoni (Shimonovich)(August 25, 1891 Bobruisk, Minsk Province, Russian Empire, now Belarus - December 10, 1956 Tel Aviv, Israel) was a Hebrew poet, writer, translator and teacher. In 1902 his poem "Sikhat Re…sisim" was published in Ben Avigdor's children's weekly "Olam Katan." His poems were printed in the "Luakh Ahiasaf", in "HaShiloakh" and in other Hebrew newspapers and anthologies. He briefly painted revolutionary posters in Russian and wrote for Unser Veig, Folks Shtime and others. In 1908 he received his matriculation certificate, but was not admitted to the university because of a quota limitation on Jewish students (the Numerus Klausus). In 1909, Shimoni immigrated to Eretz Israel, stayed, befriended Yosef Chaim Brenner, with whom he had already corresponded earlier. Shimoni worked in Eretz Israel as a guard and orange picker and traveled in Israel for two months. For the rest of his life he carried his experiences from this trip. In 1911 Shimoni returned to visit his parents in Russia, and in the same year his first book of poems "Yashimon" (=Wasteland) was published. In 1912 he went to Germany for higher education. Until 1914 he studied Semitic linguistics and philosophy at the universities of Berlin, Heidelberg and Würzburg. Upon graduation he intended to return to Israel, but World War I broke out and he was forced to return to Russia, staying in Odessa and St. Petersburg. With the outbreak of the October Revolution he moved to Moscow, where he worked at the Stiebel publishing house. In 1920, after many attempts, he manage to leave the Soviet Union and return to Israel. At first he lived in Rehovot and pursued literature full time. Dvir Publishing published a selection of his writings. In 1925 he moved to Tel Aviv where he served as a teacher of Hebrew and Hebrew literature at the Hebrew Gymnasium "Herzliya". To the end of his life, he taught Bible and Hebrew literature in high schools. He also translated from the best world literature (Tolstoy, Heine, Lermontov, etc.). He won the Bialik Prize for Literature in 1936 and 1949, the Ussishkin Prize in 1945, and in 1954 he was awarded the Israel Prize for Fine Literature.
