Dimant Ber Mordukhovich (born 4 July 1910, Rezekne – date and place of death unknown) -manual labourer and industrial worker.

After completing four years of primary school, Ber Dimant worked from the late 1920s to 1928 at Jacobson’s firm, and then between 1928 and 1940 at the Nautreny works in Rezekne and Karsava. During the Second World War, he was evacuated and employed in state farms: at the kolkhoz “1st May” in Kant district, Frunze Region (1941–43), and at the kolkhoz “Buraly” in Ilishovsky district, Bashkir ASSR (1943–45). After the war, he worked at the “Kurzeme Manufaktūra” factory in Riga (1945–49), and from 1949 to 1964 served as a senior goods manager at the “Sakta” factory.

In 1941, Dimant married Tila Dimant (née Zelikovna). They had two sons: Simon Berovich Dimant and Meir Berovich Dimant.

His parents were Mordekha Abramovich Dimant (b. 1879, Rezekne – emigrated to Israel in 1963) and Pesya-Miryam Leibovna Dimant (1869, Rezekne – 1947, Riga). His siblings include his brother Moses Mordukhovich Dimant (born 1910, Rezekne – details unknown), and three sisters: Riva Mordukhovna Wulfson (b. 1909, Rezekne), Bluma Mordukhovna Melamed (b. 1912, Rezekne; emigrated to Israel in 1932), and Golda Mordukhovna Blumenau (dates unknown; emigrated to Israel in 1963).
