About Jonathan Danilowitz

  • Jonathan Danilowitz (born (1945-01-13) January 13, 1945) worked as a Senior In Flight Service Manager for El Al Israel Airlines, based in Tel Aviv. When the airline refused to recognize his same-sex partner as his common-law spouse (as is commonly done in Israel with opposite-sex partners) he sued the airline (in 1989).
  • One of the 1990s' most publicized civil-rights cases, his action went through three court sessions including the Israeli Supreme Court (1995) which concurred that the discrimination was illegal and obliged the airline to grant partner benefits.
  • The Supreme Court ruling is considered to be one of its most important decisions, and is featured in the Museum of the Court in Jerusalem.
