Disengagement Claimed Yuri Stern, of Blessed Memory, by David Bedein (Israel National News)
Full Text;
Dr. Yuri Stern, a member of the Knesset who came on Aliyah from the former USSR in 1981, died today at the young age of 58.
I knew this man. Not as a politician. He came into my office twenty years ago, needing a place to work. Not a job. A place to work. To help new immigrants struggle with their first stages of Aliyah.
Indeed, Yuri took a cubicle at Beit Agron and worked round the clock.
After a few years of hard work, he came to the conclusion that he could only really help people if he would enter politics.
