Jedan stvaralački život: dr ing. Avraham Avišur/Verber

Abstract

Kratka biografija jednog od malobrojnih useljenika u Palestinu iz Kraljevine Jugoslavije između dva svetska rata. Verber je bio jedan od retkih ali veoma potrebnih inženjera budućoj jevrejskoj državi.

This paper provides a brief description of the very rich life of engineer Werber, born in what is today Ukraine, in Tarnopole (1888), who settled in Yugoslavia after WWI where, working as an engineer, he achieved outstanding results. Probably thanks to the fact that he proved to be an exceptional expert in hydrology, he was invited by the Jewish Agency to come to Palestine. Experts of his profile were, and still are, much needed in Israel, because in the severe climatic conditions prevailing in Israel they deal with the difficult issues of water supply. Engineer Werber provided a strong contribution to the development of Israel in the area of his expertise, especially related to water supply in the Negev desert.
