Israel Issy FISHER Phd

   Another name for Israel was Issy FISHER.

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Career.
Issy Fisher's contribution to Jewish education in Durban is immeasurable. He has taught at secondary and tertiary levels, as well as adult education and non-Jewish group outreach programmes. He is an involved family man whose influence reaches widely within the community.

2. Quote.
No literate person can read a daily paper or listen to a discussion on the arts, science, law, psychology, physics or any other professional field, without encountering a wealth of expressions of foreign origin which have become an integral part of English everyday vocabulary. The contribution of Hebrew is significant but often overlooked precisely because it is so familiar in its anglicised form. Dr Fisher will discuss a selection of words and expressions, derived from the Hebrew Scriptures, which have become part of our everyday language.
