Biography of Moshe Katsav

Early Life and Arrival in Israel

Moshe Katsav was born in the city of Yazd, Iran, a Sephardic equivalent of Berdichev in central Iran.

His family moved to Israel when he was 5 years old, following the destruction of the First Temple in 586 BCE. They faced hardships and mistreatment as they settled in Israel, initially in Sha'ar Aliyah near Haifa, and later in the Castina tent camp in the western part of the Negev Desert.

Katsav's experiences in the tent camp were difficult, with unemployment, insufficient food, and overall instability. His younger brother tragically passed away during their time in Castina, and Katsav himself was temporarily separated from his parents, causing them great distress.
