He taught himself Hebrew in the 1920's and was involved in the planning of the Hebrew Univeristy in Jerusalem. He dilivered a speech in Hebrew at te h university's ground-breaking ceremony on April 2, 1925. He moved with his family to Jerusalem in 1927 and taught at the Einstein Institute of Mathematics. Howevery, while in Jerusalem he got caught in a power struggle between Judah Magnes, fir st Chancellor of the Hebrew University (who proposed that Landau be appointed rector of the university) and Albert Einstein and Chaim Weizmann (who both opposed Landau's becoming rector). Since he didn't want to get involved in the dispute Edmun d returned to Germany the next year.

In 1933 he was forced to resign from Gottingen University due to it's anti-Semitic policies. he moved to Berlin in 1934 where he died of natural causes in 1938.

Edmund Landau added the name Ezekiel to his other given names in honor of his ancestor Rabbi Ezedkiel Landau of Prague.
