Israel Bonds mourns the loss of Ariane Babeth Zweibaum Z'L, a passionate Zionist and leader and a woman of true valour and distinction. ‘Babeth’, as she was known, was a steadfast leader in the Israel Bonds organisation for many years. Those who worked with her recall with fondness how she would arrive, always stylish and perfectly appointed, with her dear husband Michel, for early morning Israel Bonds meetings. For them, Israel Bonds became a second family. Her ideas, be they for gala dinners in Paris or delegations to Israel, were shared with a creative passion and vision that was her hallmark when the cause

Babeth will always be remembered for her leadership skills, generous spirit, heartfelt devotion, and for her profound dedication to Israel. May her family be spared further sorrow and find comfort amongst the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
