בית ליברמן - מוזיאון לתולדות העיר נהריה

Saturday morning, August 23, 2008: On entering my study this morning, a phone message from Erika and a short e-mail from Tuvia bearing the heartbreaking news “We are only 4 left, Eli died at night”. The 4 left refers to the original 9 Chevre from the Shomer Hatzir who fled Slovakia in April 1941 for Palestine where we joined kibbutz Merchavia.

Although Eli’s death was not completely unexpected, Eli having been very ill these past few months and getting weaker by the day, it still came as a big shock. We had a very special friendship with Eli spanning 74 years of our lives.Read more

On 1982, the Israely Education Ministry and Nahariya's city council decided on building another school in the south part of Nahariya.
On September 1st 1983 the school's gates opened, with 8 classrooms from 1st grade to the 4th grade.
The school is named after Golda Meir who was the Prime minister of Israel from 1969 to 1974.
Unfortunately, when the school opened she was not alive.
Her daughter agreed to perpetuate her mother's name, and name the school "Golda Meir".

Bet Yad LaBanim was built in 1995 all thanks to the Boimal family from Cincinnati, Ohio.

Rachel and Samuel Boimal were 2 Jewish survivors from the Shoah (holocaust). They donated the tennis courts in the Katznelson neighborhood, and continue to donate to different projects in Nahariya.

Rachel dedicated the library to her brother, Yosi Chirkovich, who was killed in the War of Independence in the battle of Latroon. Yosi survived the holocaust, and came to Israel in 1946.

The building contains a library, auditorium and a memorial chamber.Read more
