Moshe Flimann

Moshe Flimann (Hebrew: משה פלימן; 1905–1973) served as the mayor of Haifa from 1969 to 1973.

He was imprisoned by the Russian authorities because of his Zionist activities, but was released a short time after his arrest.

In 1929 he was imprisoned because of his continued participation in Zionist organizations, and was sent to Siberia to serve a three-year sentence.

By 1957, he had been promoted to the manager of the national grid, and was elected to the board of the company as a representative of the workers.

Likewise, the building of the Haifa nursing hospital began during his tenure, and upon its completion, which was after his death, it was named after him.
