U.S. SEN. PAT Toomey and three other senators announced
July 18 the introduction of a bipartisan measure to help pro-

The Iraqi Jewish Archives were uncovered by U.S. soldiers
in the basement of Saddam Hussein’s secret police headquar-
ters in 2003 and include 2,700 priceless books, religious texts
and civic documents.

The contents were badly damaged so the United States
and the Coalition Provisional Authority signed an agree-
ment that had the United States restoring the material,
then returning it to Iraq. Since preserving the archives, the
National Archives and Records Administration has dis-
played the collection throughout the United States.

Jews have figured prominently in New Mexico political life both before and after state-
hood. Nathan Jaffa of Roswell was secretary of the territory and Henry Jaffa was the first
mayor of Albuquerque in 1885. In 1890, Mike Mandell also was elected as mayor. In 1930,
Arthur Seligman of Santa Fe became governor.

Traditionally, a coterie of merchants were the backbone of the Jewish community
until 1940 when the state was f looded with Jewish scientists, engineers and profes-
sors working in Los Alamos and in other war-effort sites, leading to a large influx in
Jewish population. Many stayed after the war.

According to a 2015 survey, there are about 24,000 Jews in New Mexico, many non-
affiliated. Most (about three-quarters) live in Albuquerque or Santa Fe, but Taos, Los
Alamos and Las Cruces have organized Jewish communities and small groups are located
in Las Vegas, Roswell and elsewhere.

Greater Albuquerque Jewish Community

A good overview of Jewish things in Albuquerque is online at AbqJew.com. Among the
city’s Jewish institutions are Congregation Albert, a large Reform congregation; Congregation
Nahalat Shalom, a Renewal synagogue; the Conservative synagogue B’nai Israel; Chavurat
Hamidmar, a non-affiliated congregation that meets in homes and holds High Holidays ser-
vices at the University of New Mexico; MAKOR-Jewish Source; and Chabad of New Mexico.

Other Jewish institutions include an active Hillel at the University of New Mexico, The
Jewish Community Center of Greater Albuquerque, The Jewish Federation of New Mexico,
The Anti-Defamation League of New Mexico, The New Mexico Jewish Historical Society,
Hadassah New Mexico chapter, The Holocaust and Intolerance Museum and the Jewish
nonprofit dance organization Keshet.

Kosher food can be found at Eurozone, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods, and the town has
a kosher caterer as well.
