Yehuda Perah (Hebrew: יהודה פרח, 11 January 1924 – 6 November 1998) was an Israeli educator and politician who served as a member of the Knesset for Likud between 1981 and 1984, and again from 1988 until 1992.

## Biography[edit]

Born in Jerusalem during the Mandate era, Perah was educated at the Kadoorie Agricultural High School.[1] He went on to study at the Teachers Seminary in Jerusalem, and was later awarded a Ph.D. in literature and education by Tel Aviv University.[1] In 1976 he became head of the Centre of Technology for Education and a senior lecturer at the university.[1] Between 1976 and 1982 he also worked as a supervisor in the Central District for the Ministry of Education.[1]

In 1974 he joined the Liberal Party.[1] He became chairman of the party's Netanya branch, and a member of its central committee.[1] He was elected to the Knesset on the Likud list (then an alliance of the Liberal Party, Herut and other right-wing factions) in 1981. In 1983 he was one of five Liberal Party MKs who formed a hawkish faction led by Yitzhak Modai.[2] He lost his seat in the 1984 elections, and became general manager of the Central School for Tourism the following year.[1] He returned to the Knesset following the 1988 elections, but lost his seat again in 1992 after being placed forty-seventh on the Likud list,[3] but the party won only 32 seats.[4]

He died in 1998 at the age of 74.
