Beit Shemesh Mayor Hosts Canadian Ambassador
By L.S. Wasserman
"The accelerated development taking place in Beit Shemesh is a
challenge for the world's developing cities," said Paul Hunt, Canada's
ambassador to Israel, during a visit to the city hosted by Mayor Rabbi
Moshe Abutbol.
The ambassador began his visit at the Mayor's Office, where Rabbi
Abutbol provided a comprehensive survey of the impressive development
record in Beit Shemesh, Israel's fastest growing city, and the massive
development of various municipal and projects and institutions within
the city as well as new access roads leading in.
Taking part in the meeting was a large contingent representing
immigrants from Canada living in Ramat Beit Shemesh and in the city's
new neighborhoods. Twenty-five percent of city residents are
immigrants, including a sizable community from Canada.
