Ruebner was born Kurt Rubner in 1924 in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia (now the capital of Slovakia) to a German-speaking Jewish family. In 1941, he emigrated to Mandate Palestine without his family, and joined a kibbutz. His parents, sisters and grandparents were sent to Poland and were murdered in the Holocaust.
Following the Israel War of Independence, he became a member of Kibbutz Merhavia. For many years he was a schoolteacher and later lectured on literature at Haifa University.
His poetry blends classical and modern Hebrew, creating a unique idiom.
