A speech for my neigbhour; Correct/Enlighten me.



I would like to mention Haim Heberfeld, a special person that regrettably could not attend our meeting today; Haim was the first person to intiate the connection between the two aforementioned cities.
Furthermore, Haim had always taken care of everything related to the relationship between our cities, and I would like to thank him for his ambitious efforts all these years.
Now it's my turn to get into his shoes and continue his life-work. <---Couldn't come up with anything better. How sad.
