Jonathan Danilowitz (Hebrew: יונתן דנילוביץ'; 13 January 1945 – 12 August 2022) was a South African-born Israeli activist, who worked as a senior in-flight service manager for El Al Israel Airlines, based in Tel Aviv. He was born and raised in Krugersdorp, South Africa, and immigrated to Israel in 1971. In 1989, after 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. His case was one of the Israel's most publicized civil-rights cases of the 1990s. His suit went through three court sessions up to the Israeli Supreme Court (1995), which ruled that the discrimination was illegal and obliged the airline to grant partner benefits. This Supreme Court ruling is considered to be one of its most important decisions, and is featured in the Museum of the Supreme Court in Jerusalem. Danilowitz died August 12, 2022, aged 77 due to complications of pancreatic cancer.
