Gasulis (née Ber) Khana Leibovna (b. 7 August 1946, Riga) – labourer.

Khana Gasulis was born into the family of Leiba Abramovich Ber (b. 1909, Smolensk), a shoemaker, and Pesia Borisovna Ber (née Fainveits, b. 1913, Daugavpils), a seamstress.

She completed 11 years of schooling at Riga Secondary School No. 40 (1953–1964). In 1964, she worked as a secretary-typist at the RVZ factory, as a pattern cutter at the Elektra fur factory (1965–1966), and as a sealer at the Daile industrial complex (1967). Between 1968 and 1970, she was a homemaker. From 1970 to 1972, she worked as a hairdresser at the Laimdota cooperative.

She was married to Lev Mordukhovich Gasulis (b. 1946, Riga). Their daughter, Sabina Lvovna Gasulis, was born in 1967 in Jūrmala.

In 1972, Khana Gasulis received permission to emigrate to Israel, where her maternal aunt, Yeita Borisovna Gimelfarb (née Fainveits, 1923, Daugavpils – 1972, Tel Aviv), and her husband Getzel Abramovich Gimelfarb had been living since emigrating from Poland to then-Palestine in 1946. Since 1969, her maternal uncle Grigory Borisovich Fainveits (b. 1931, Daugavpils) had also resided in Israel.
