Zehava Blackman, Hebrew teacher for over
40 years. “An amazing teacher…a wonder-
ful mentor…a special lady…made a pro-
found difference in the lives of so many.”
These are just a few of the comments from
friends, colleagues, and students marking the
passage of Zehava Blackman, who passed
away on September 28, 2017. When
Zehava’s children met the funeral director to
make arrangements, his first words were, “Of
course I know your mother, she taught both
my children in Hebrew School.” No matter
where Zehava or her children went, they
would bump into former students and par-
ents who adored her. Zehava taught Hebrew,
religion, and Jewish life for more than 40
years at Beth Sholom Religious School, and
at the Perelman Jewish Day School for 17
years, as well as in adult education classes.

Her teaching, and the impact she had on so
many students for so many years was just
one aspect of a dramatic life. Zehava was
born in what was then Palestine. Her par-
ents were ardent Zionists and moved from
Lithuania in the early 1900’s to settle in Bat
Galim, Haifa. Zehava grew up on the beach
as a “daughter of the waves” (English for Bat
Galim), was a teenager during Israel’s war of
Independence and grew up alongside the
State of Israel. She attended the prestigious
Reali private school in Haifa (one of the coun-
try’s oldest private schools), was a champi-
on swimmer in her teens, was a member of
the scouts and the early Israeli military, and
received her teaching certificate through the
Israeli army. In search of a new adventure,
she took a long boat journey to the US in
1955 to visit her brother and his family who
were living in Camden, New Jersey while he
was attending school for engineering. She
made the most of her visit, finding new
friends, touring the East Coast sites, and then
meeting her future husband, Daniel Black-
man, in Philadelphia. She decided to stay in
the US, married Dan in 1956, settled in Phil-
adelphia, and by 1960 had two children, Dav-
id and JoAnn. Zehava began her teaching ca-
reer in 1961 at Congregation Beth Sholom in
Elkins Park, and won numerous awards over
the years, including special recognition from
the Jewish Board of Education, Beth Sholom,
and the Perelman Jewish Day School. She
was a mentor to many young teachers, and
will live on in the love of Hebrew and Israel
she inspired in hundreds and hundreds of
children, most of whom are now parents and
grandparents. She also wrote a book on
teaching Hebrew entitled “Safar Hatmunot”.

Zehava adored her husband Dan, who passed
away in 2010, her children David and JoAnn,
her grandchildren Harry and Zoe, and her
son-in-law Robert. Contributions in Zehava’s
blessed memory can be made to the Zehava
Blackman Consecration Fund at Beth Sholom
Synagogue in Elkins Park.
