First Female President Installed at Hebrew College
Hebrew College in suburban Boston installed Rabbi Sharon
Cohen Anisfeld on Oct. 15 as its first female president and the
ninth in its nearly 100-year history, JTA reported.

Rabbi Arthur Green, the college’s rector, installed Anisfeld
before a crowd of 600 people.

“We’re living in a time when so much conspires to make us
feel alone and untethered,” Anisfeld said. “In a world that is frac-
tured and frayed, we are — we must be — witnesses to a deeper
truth. One of connection and compassion. One of humility and
hope. This is our sacred mission at Hebrew College. And never
has it been more vitally important.”

Anisfeld, who was ordained as a Reconstructionist rabbi in
1990, succeeds Rabbi Daniel Lehmann, who served for nearly a
decade. She previously served as the dean of the school’s plural-
istic rabbinical school.

The college recently announced that it had sold its landmark
campus to eliminate a longstanding $7.4 million debt. l

Joint Chanukah Stamp Issued on Oct. 16 by
19th & Sansom Streets 215-567-4662 Israel Post and United States Postal Service
Discounted Parking A Chanukah stamp that also celebrates 70 years of diplomatic
relations between Israel and the United States was issued jointly
by the two countries on Oct. 16, JTA reported.

The United States Postal Service issued the new design at the
Touro Synagogue in Newport, R.I., which is the oldest syna-
gogue in America, while Israel Post did likewise at the American
Center in Jerusalem.

“Today’s joint stamp issue is a symbol of the shared values and
the cultural affinity between the United States and Israel,” U.S.
Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said in Jerusalem.

The stamp by artist Tamar Fishman includes a Chanukah
menorah created using a papercutting technique, as well as a
shape resembling an ancient oil jug to represent the miracle of
the oil that burned in the candelabra in the Holy Temple, dreidels
and a pomegranate plant.

The Israeli and U.S. postal authorities first issued joint stamps
in 1996.

Israeli Olympian to Auction His Gold Medal
The only Israeli gold medalist said he needs money, so he plans
to auction off the medal he won in the 2004 Olympics for wind-
surfing, JTA reported.

In a Facebook post, Gal Fridman said he wanted to get in
touch with an eBay expert “who understands how to auction a
rare item, the only one of its kind in Israel.”

Fridman, 43, who retired in 2008, also won a bronze medal
at the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta. He now works as a pho-
tographer.

The gold medal has had an interesting past: It was stolen in
2005 from a safe in Fridman’s parents’ home, but later found
in a nearby forest. He said then that “no amount of money will
replace this medal.”

New Jewish Neighborhood Approved for Hebron
The first housing to be built in 16 years for Jewish Israelis in
the West Bank city of Hebron was approved Oct. 14 by Israel’s
Cabinet, JTA reported.

The $6 million project in an area known as the Hezekiah
Quarter will include 31 homes, a day care center and a park on a
site that was formerly an Israel Defense Forces base.

The project land was owned by Jews prior to Israel’s 1948
establishment and later leased to Hebron’s Palestinian munic-
ipality. A central bus station was built there and later moved.

Of those who are from elsewhere, 19 percent are from

Both statewide and in Santa Fe, New Mexico Jews are
quite educated. Probably because of the presence of so many
national labs and research institutes that attracted scientists
and researchers during World War II, 58 percent of the state’s
Jews have an advanced or professional degree. That compares
with 35 percent of the Jewish population nationwide.

The original Jews in New Mexico were Conversos fleeing
the Inquisition. In the first half of the 19th century, Jews
emigrated there as merchants and trappers. The population
has grown since and swelled during and after World War II.

Santa Fe proper has a lively Jewish community that con-
stitutes about a quarter of the state’s Jewish population. Only
Albuquerque has a larger concentration of Jews.

Among its Jewish institutions and facilities are the
archives of the New Mexico Jewish Historical Society
(nmjewishhistory.org) — a permanent collection at the
New Mexico State Records Center and Archives.

Santa Fe boasts a Hadassah chapter, a Jewish Care
Program affiliated with the Jewish Federation of New Mexico
and at least five organized Jewish congregations. These
include Reform Temple Beth Shalom and Congregation
Beit Tikva, an Ultra-Reformed congregation; HaMakom,
a Conservative congregation with a Renewal focus; an
Orthodox congregation, Kol BeRamah; and Chabad of Santa
Fe, which also operates a mikveh.

Federation or to read the New Mexico Jewish Link newslet-
