Susan Heller - Library Volunteer
 

Susan is editor-in-chief of Menucha Publishers. She is the author of one novel and five books for children.

Originally from Chicago, she and her husband made aliyah and have lived in Tzfat for over 30 years. Her children enjoyed coming to the children's library and now she brings her grandchildren.

Yehoshua Sivan - Board Member
 

Yehoshua has lived more than half his life in Safed, along with his wife Hilary, also a library volunteer.  After aliyah in 1966, they lived in Rehovot, Netanya, and Petah Tikva, and don't see themselves living anywhere else. Their five daughters were all born in Israel, though only the youngest locally.
   

Wounded in the Yom Kippur War, he continued to serve in the artillery, doing 11 stints of reserve duty in Lebanon.
For years Yehoshua taught chemistry both in the Rav Tehumi and Amit high schools, as well as training chemistry teachers and giving enrichment programs to teachers and students all over the country. These activities enabled him to interact positively with people from every part of the Israeli population, which he feels is of paramount importance in our present-day society.

Ever since Jews from Ethiopia first arrived here, in 1985, Yehoshua and his family have been involved in their absorption through the Safed Committee for Ethiopian Jews: http://www.committeeforethiopianjewsinsafed.org/ethiopianjewssafednewsletters.html.

Although fluent in Hebrew, "I still read in English for pleasure, and use the library as my main source for biography, history, occasional detective and spy stories." If you want a book recommended, you're welcome to get in touch!
