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.

Leonard Gottesman, and mother of Daniel
and Natan (Thomas) Gottesman died on
Sunday, October 8th, 2017. Len, Dan, and

she breathed her last breath. Eve was born
on June 8th, 1930 in Kosice, Czechoslovakia
and emigrated to the United States with her
parents in 1934. She and her parents es-
caped Europe in time, but sadly, lost many
family members in the Holocaust. Growing
up in Cleveland, Eve was bright and a vora-
cious reader, attending Cleveland Height
High. Eve and Len married in 1952, welcom-
ing first Dan and then Natan. Eve attended
fashion design school at age 18, and sub-
sequently lived in New York City before re-
turning to Cleveland. Eve’s second profes-
sion was raising her two boys. She returned
to college at the University of Michigan, earn-
ing a Bachelor’s Degree in the late 1960s.
After the family moved to Philadelphia in
1971, Eve attended Bryn Mawr College, earn-
ing her Master’s degree in Social Work. Eve
was a respected social worker, working at the
Philadelphia Health Management Corpora-
tion, the Pennsylvania Corporation for Aging,
and Jewish Federation of Philadelphia. Eve
was also heavily involved in Women’s Way
and the Elizabeth Blackwell Center. Eve was
well known among friends, family and col-
leagues for her warmth, caring, creativity,
classy style, exquisite taste, and sharp intel-
lect. She was also well known by Len, Dan,
and Natan for her ruthless, but accurate, red
Flair pen with which she edited our papers
and proposals and made us all better writers.
Eve’s high standards, care, ethics and metic-
ulous nature made many people and things
around her better. In addition to Len, Dan and
Natan, Eve is survived by daughters-in-law
