We present a fairly recent addition to our group, but a pair that have been movers and shakers from the moment they arrived.
Paul and Susan Liebhaber met in June 1980 in the Ulpan of Kibbutz Adamit. Their story sounds best when told in Susan’s own words:
We married in NJ and found our way to California. From 1982 – 2000 our home was a downtown San Francisco high-rise apartment. Paul worked as a substitute teacher, while he achieved a Chess Expert Rating, winning many tournament games. Susan studied and worked as an aerobics instructor and martial arts instructor, as well as other jobs, while earning her black belts in Tae Kwon Do and Tai Chi Chuan. During these years, Paul and Susan earned several college degrees. San Francisco was certainly fun!
Then after a few years in Florida, we saw a newspaper article on Nefesh B Nefesh, and we knew it was time to return to Israel to complete our lives. Making Aliyah to Ashdod was one of the best decisions of our lives, so far. We are looking forward to another wonderful Mediterranean summer with the wonderful people of Ashdod.
