Emanuel Marx (Hebrew: עמנואל מרקס; 8 May 1927 – 13 February 2022) was a German-born Israeli social anthropologist, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Tel Aviv University. He was a winner of the Israel Prize in 1998 for sociological research, and was an honorary member of the British Royal Anthropological Institute. Emanuel Marx was born and raised in Munich, Germany. His paternal grandfather came to Palestine together with four brothers and sisters in 1882 and settled in Jerusalem. A few years later the grandfather and another brother returned to Germany. The extended family was religious, but the grandfather's family was already secular. His maternal grandfather came to Germany from Poland, set up a cardboard factory and was successful in his business. His father, Yitzhak, was a native of Germany and a clerk in an insurance company, while his mother, Rebecca, a native of Poland, grew up in Germany and ran a leather goods store. They had two sons, Emanuel and Shimon. Emanuel Marx attended a Jewish school in the city of Munich.
