Immigration to Israel

The beginnings in Israel were difficult: not knowing the language, without money without friends. But this did not stop Angelica from winning the Israeli Championship between the years 1960-1962, and the Maccabiah Games Table Tennis Championship in 1960 and 1961. She trained the national team and instructed courses for table tennis coaches in the Wingate Institute.

Angelica is a member in the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. She was also one of the founders of the Swaythling Club, and for many years served as a member of management. The Club included over 300 veteran players who had participated in the international table tennis championships.

Angelica ended her career at the age of 40 in the International Tournament that was organized by the Jewish community and held in South Africa (Johannesburg),  in which the best Jewish players in the world participated.

Angelica was a highly admired figure, a role model, a legend of her time – everybody wanted to be around her in order to learn the secrets of her game, in particular her game style and methods. Angelica died in 2006 at the age of 84.
