RABBI’s message
David Ben-Gurion proclaiming the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948
C
hutzpah is a Hebrew word which is easier to
illustrate than to define. One of the comic
examples of this attitude is the boy who kills his
parents and then pleads for mercy on the grounds that he
is an orphan. A classic example of chutzpah is found in
the Abraham story, in the early chapter of Genesis. The
Almighty plans to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, but
Abraham challenges God and says, “How can you do such
a thing…to slay the innocent as well as the guilty? Shall
not the judge of all the world deal justly?”
As we enter the final weeks of summer, we begin reading
from Deuteronomy, and many of the Haftorah readings
come from the prophet Isaiah. The prophet showed
chutzpah in many ways.
Isaiah lived during the sixth century BCE, in an exiled
community that was despondent and believed it would
never return to the homeland of Israel. But Isaiah, in
those shadowed times, offered some amazing promises:
In Memory
Barbara Cohen
the nation of Israel will be restored, the
people will return to Jerusalem, and
“nations shall walk by your light…kings,
by your shining radiance.” Torn from its
homeland, living in marginal conditions
in Babylonia, the prophet dared to predict
that we will experience a glorious future.
That rebirth of the Jewish people will be
followed by a cultural and intellectual
renaissance. The people Israel will kindle
the light for other nations, and set a new
example for future nations.
Of course, most of the Israelite
people had difficulty believing such a
“chutzpahdich” promise.
Yet the Jews returned to Israel fifty
years after this exile, and restored the
community in Jerusalem. And if we
consider this more carefully, we see that Israel was
restored in 1948, and that small country has been a
beacon of democracy in the midst of Arab authoritarian
governments. Many thinkers have acknowledged the
genius of the Jewish people. Pearl Buck wrote that
she “had never witnessed a country or culture which
was not the better for having the contribution of the
Jewish people.” More than two centuries ago, Matthew
Arnold wrote that “All who want to make progress in
righteousness will come to Israel for inspiration.”
Isaiah’s incredible promise that nations would walk
by the light and inspiration of the Jewish people
has truly been fulfilled. Think of our Declaration of
Independence— the thinking derives from Jefferson’s
understanding of the five books of Moses. Yes, we need a
massive dose of chutzpah to live in this world, to believe
that we can improve our world, and to care for those in
need. We must dream great dreams as did Isaiah, in order
to offer strength to those around us.
Dear friends, enjoy this summer time and I look forward
to being with you at our Gala Celebration on August 28th.
B’shalom,

president’s message
Dear Friends,
A
s we approach the High Holy
Days in a few weeks, it is
appropriate to begin reflecting
upon the past and looking toward
the future. I have been affiliated
with Congregation Beit Tikva since
I moved to Santa Fe with my family
in 2000, just five years after the
Congregation was established. We
were drawn to the welcoming arms
of the Congregation and we
immediately enrolled our two
sons in the Religious School,
which wandered from place
to place without a permanent
home. When my wife died
just three months after our
arrival, it was Beit Tikva that
sustained me, particularly
Rabbi Leonard Helman.
Within a year of our
arrival, my oldest son,
Jayson, was called to the
Torah in the space we
borrowed for Sabbath
services from the Lutheran
Church of the Servant across
the street from what is now
Sam’s Club. Four years later my
youngest son, Zachary, was the last
Bar Mitzvah there as we prepared to
move into our very own synagogue on
Old Pecos Trail. During those early
years the Congregation celebrated
High Holy Days at churches on
Cordova Road or downtown. It was a
thrill to walk with the Torah from the
Lutheran Church along Rodeo Road,
past the Santa Fe Memorial Gardens
where we paused to say Kaddish for so
many of our loved ones buried there.
Members took turns carrying the
Torah scrolls along the five-mile trek
to Old Pecos Trail. When we arrived
at the driveway to our new home,
the Torah was handed over to Sonny
Rapoport for the final leg of the
journey. How appropriate.
Sonny and Gail Rapoport were
founding members and a real driving
force behind the creation of Santa
Fe’s House of Hope. Sonny served as
the Congregation’s first cantor before
Michael Linder joined us. He often
helped lead services in the homes
of founding members until Rabbi
Helman became our spiritual leader.
Gail took on the responsibilities
of Executive Director and as the
membership rapidly grew she spent
more and more time nurturing the
fledgling Congregation and handling
all of the administrative details.
Sonny was one of the teachers in the
Religious School, staffed exclusively
by parents of the students. He regaled
the students with Jewish folk songs on
his guitar and the entire Congregation
at Sukkot and other holidays. As we
grew and wanted a permanent home,
Gail became the Congregation’s
principal fundraiser. Largely as the
result of her fundraising efforts, we
were able to build our own synagogue,
firmly establishing our footprint in
Santa Fe.
After we moved into our new home,
Sonny served as a one-man Building
and Grounds Committee tending
to all of the little, and not so little,
details that come with ownership of
a new building. After Friday night
services, it was typically
Sonny and Gail who stayed
behind to make sure that
everything was cleaned up
and put in its place after
the Oneg. When the time
came years later to consider
expansion of the synagogue
building, Gail again led
the fundraising effort that
resulted in completion of the
expansion with no ongoing
building fund debt.
In a few short weeks we
will be honoring these two
extraordinary people for their
role in our lives, bringing
into reality a Congregation
that fosters Jewish learning and a
love of Israel. I hope to see all of you
at the Gala Fundraising Event on
Sunday, August 28th at the Santa Fe
Convention Center. We thank Gail
and Sonny Rapoport for their years
of service to our Congregation with a
catered dinner followed by a musical
performance by the Maccabeats.
Because of their continuing
dedication to Beit Tikva, our future is
secure.
Shalom,
Paul Grace

Another Successful Beit Tikva Teddy Bear
Project for Abused Children (Not included in the last bulletin….our apologies)
he 2016 Teddy Bear Project for the Solace Center was a huge success!
CBT, Hadassah & Barker Realty Santa Fe collected nine large bags of
beautiful stuffed animals, and three bags of writing journals for the
children who are interviewed at the Center. Those who donated said what
fun it was shopping for the stuffed animals and how good it made them feel.
Certainly the children will find joy at selecting a toy as theirs, after the sexual
abuse interview. Such a meaningful project, and so easy to do.
Special thanks to our friends at Barker Realty, Hadassah and each and
everyone at CBT who dropped a donation into our box.
Thank you, Joan Less

Congregation Beit Tikva
Legacy Society, Chaim L’Chaim
our jewish cemetery
W
e are introducing a Legacy program called Chaim L’Chaim,
“Life To Life,” to help ensure the continuing existence of our
Jewish Community and specifically our congregation. L’Chaim
guides participants through a process that begins with the signing of a
Statement of Intent (a non-binding commitment) to provide for Congregation
Beit Tikva in their estate, via a will, beneficiary designation for an IRA, real
estate, or insurance policy, or other means.
This program gives community members the opportunity to support the
many ways our synagogue maintains Jewish life and values even beyond each
individual’s lifetime. Every individual who signs a Statement of Intent will
be recognized as a Founding Member of the Congregation Beit Tikva Legacy
Society L’Chaim.
Help us continue to build our heritage of religious and volunteer leadership,
rituals, celebrations, and education for peoples of all ages, which define our
congregation and our place in Santa Fe’s religious community.
For further information, or to get a Statement of Intent form, please contact
a member of our Legacy Committee:
