From that year until 1953 he was a member of Kibbutz Gan-Shmuel. Yohanan Simon was active in the Hagana and participated in the War of Liberation. Since 1953 he has lived in Tel-Aviv. In 1954-55 and 1961 he traveled extensively in South America and the United States and during 1958-9 in Europe. Since 1962 he lived in Herzelia, Israel.
