Biography

Yosef Shlomo Burg was born in Dresden, Germany. He attended the Rabbinical Seminary in Berlin and the University of Berlin from 1928 to 1931. He received a Doctorate in philosophy from the University of Leipzig in 1933. He continued to study at the Rabbinical Seminary in Berlin and was ordained as a rabbi in 1938. In 1939, he immigrated to Mandate Palestine. He worked as teacher at Gymnasia Herzliya in Tel Aviv before moving to Jerusalem. There he become a research fellow at Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Burg lived in the Rehavia neighborhood of Jerusalem. His son, Avraham Burg, was speaker of the fifteenth Knesset.

Burg died on October 15, 1999 at the age of 90 at Shaare Zedek Medical Center.

Political career

In Israel, Burg joined Hapoel HaMizrachi, a religious-Zionist party. Alongside three other religious parties, Hapoel HaMizrachi ran on a joint list called the United Religious Front for the first Knesset elections in 1949. The group won 16 seats and Burg took a seat in the Knesset and became Deputy Speaker.

In the 1951 elections the party ran by itself, winning eight seats. Burg remained in the Knesset and became Minister of Health in the third government. In the fourth, fifth and sixth governments he served as Minister of Postal Services, a position he retained until 1958.

In 1956 Hapoel HaMizrachi merged with their ideological twins from the Mizrachi party to form the National Religious Party (NRP). The party was a member of all governments until 1992, and as a key party member, Burg maintained a ministerial position in every Knesset until his resignation from the Knesset in 1986, holding the positions of Minister of Welfare, Minister of Internal Affairs, Minister without Portfolio and Minister of Religious Affairs.

In 1977, he became the President of the World Mizrachi Movement.
