Dori (Tager) Rebekka Abovna (25 April 1898, Rēzekne – 1968, Riga) — factory worker.

Rebekka Dori was born into the family of tailor Aba Faivishevich Tager (b. 1869, Rēzekne – d. before the Second World War) and homemaker Freida Mendelovna Tager (b. 1881, Rēzekne – murdered by the Nazis in 1942). She completed six grades at the Rēzekne Girls’ Educational School in 1910. From 1910 to 1917 she worked at the newspaper kiosk of a bookshop in Rēzekne, thereafter remaining dependent on her parents (1917–1920). Between 1920 and 1928 she was employed as a sales assistant in a haberdashery shop in Rēzekne, followed by a period as a homemaker (1928–1941).

During evacuation (1941–1945) she served as housekeeper at a kindergarten in Sernur, Mari Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. On her return to Rēzekne, she worked as a street‑stall vendor at Railway Pharmacy No. 5 (1945–1951) and later for the municipal trade enterprise (Rēzekne GorTorg) from 1953 to 1956.

In 1937 Rebekka married Nison Leibovich Dori (b. 1910, Dvinsk) and they had one daughter, Feiga Nisonovna Gelbart (née Dori) (born 1937, Rēzekne). Rebekka’s husband was killed in action on the Eastern Front in 1942.

In 1963 Rebekka Dori received permission to emigrate to Israel, where her brother Nachum Abovich Tager (b. 1916, Rēzekne) and sister Khaya Abovna Zolotovskaya (née Tager) (b. 1904, Rēzekne) had lived since 1937. However, in 1965 she returned to Riga to be with her daughter.
