Over twenty years ago the late Sol Gura walked into the AACI offices.
At that stage the library was just a shelf of books in the main hall. Sol donated the funds in memory of his late father Nathan Gura to make the library in the room it is today. Sol frequently made donations to the Nathan Gura library which enabled us to build up the shelves and stocks of books. As the library grew so did the numbers of our members who use it.
In 2004 we received a generous donation from the Sol & Esther Gura Memorial Fund of the Los Angeles Jewish Foundation which enabled us to completely refurbish the library. Since it’s refurbishment the number of readers has almost doubled.
The Gura family’s generosity has enriched the lives of so many English
speakers in Netanya. Beit Oleh America Netanya AACI is very proud to house the
Gura Family memorial library.
