1982


Several years after Baltimore was twinned with Ir Ganim, Baltimore became just one of a half dozen communities to take on a second twin city, Kiryat Gat, located south of Tel Aviv and composed of many Soviet Jewish immigrants. Baltimoreans helped residents of that city by establishing summer camps, vocational training and drug prevention programs.
