Rabbi Wasserman then thanked the members of the Committee for Honorary Fellows: Barbara Goldstein, Silvio Joskowicz, Dalia Levy, Karma Cohen, Hernan Felman, Jacques Kupfer and Nava Avissar, the committee’s coordinator, for their dedicated work. Honorary Fellows: Mrs. Ana Marlene Starec – Mrs. Starec has been active in the Zionist movement for the past 54 years. She has been serving as Honorary President of WIZO for many years now and is also engaged in advocacy activities for Israel in the Diaspora in general, and with the Jewish communities of Brazil, in particular.
