Variant names"Hillel Halkin, a journalist and a writer, was born in New York City on the Upper West Side.

B. Yehoshua. Halkin is also the author of several books, including Letters to an American Jewish Friend: A Zionist's Polemic. He wrote the 1977 volume several years after relocating to Zichron Ya'akov, a small town on Mount Carmel, far from the bustle of Tel Aviv and historic Jerusalem." Halkin has written three books and translated a number of works by other authors.
