Hundreds gathered Friday at the old cemetery in Nahariya to pay their respects to industrialist and philanthropist Stef Wertheimer, a pioneering figure in Israeli industry.
Wertheimer, who died at the age of 98, was the founder of several major enterprises, including ISCAR, Blades Technology, and the IMC Group. His fortune was estimated at $6.3 billion.
A recipient of the Israel Prize, Wertheimer was also one of the founders of the Democratic Movement for Change (Dash) and served as a Knesset member for the party.
