Doris Leber

 

Wir trauern um Doris Leber

Tief betroffen nehmen wir Abschied von der Gründerin, jahrzehntelangen Vorsitzenden,  zuletzt Ehrenvorsitzenden unserer Freundschaftskreises.

Ihr Engagement galt der Städtepartnerschaft zwischen Koblenz und Petah Tikva, insbesondere der Förderung des Jugendaustausches. Es war ihr ein großes Anliegen, dass die Menschen beider Partnerstädte sich gegenseitig kennen und verstehen lernen.

Durch ihre aufgeschlossene und herzliche Art sind viele Kontakte und Freundschaften nach Israel entstanden – ihr ganz besonderer Beitrag zur Festigung der deutsch-israelischen Beziehungen.

Mit uns trauern die Menschen in Petah Tikva sowie alle Freunde in Israel.
Unser tief empfundenes Mitgefühl gilt ihrer Familie.

Shalom und Lehitraot, liebe Doris.

Petah Tikva was founded 120 years ago in the marshes 60 km southwest of  Jerusalem. She has 180,000 inhabitants today and lies in the conurbation of Tel Aviv.
The “Freundschaftskreis (friendship association) Koblenz-Petah Tikva” exists since 1989.

The association has made it its task to

  • give the interested Koblenz citizens information about politics, society and culture of the State of Israel as well as keep the memory of our disastrous history up
  • support visitors from Petah Tikva in Koblenz and attract for journeys to Israel and to our twin town Petah Tikva. The association carries out such study visits in cooperation with the Adult Education Center (Volkshochschule) Koblenz
  • promote in particular the exchange of young persons from the two cities

The association fulfills these purposes by lectures, exhibitions or other activities.The association is party-politically and denominationally neutral. It pursues exclusively and immediately charitable purposes according to international u nderstanding. It finances itself from contributions, donations and subsidies of the city of Koblenz.
