Isi Leibler, one of the most prominent leaders of the Australian Jewish community and a former chairman of the World Jewish Congress, died in Jerusalem on Tuesday morning at the age of 86. Born in Belgium in 1934, Leibler and his family fled the Nazi occupation of Europe for Australia, where they arrived in 1939. Leibler grew up in a religious and proudly Zionist household in Melbourne. A passionate advocate on behalf of the persecuted Jewish community in the Soviet Union, Leibler developed a reputation as an effective activist. He was elected to the presidency of the executive council of Australian Jewry in 1978, becoming chairman of the Asia-Pacific Region of the World Jewish Congress in 1980.
