We remember Evelyn Blachor a.h.

Many of the members of Beit Knesset Hanassi, particularly those who have joined in recent times, will not have had the opportunity to meet our dear and recently-departed member Evelyn Blachor a.h.  We are therefore grateful to her daughter Devorah for sharing with us the following:

Evelyn Blachor was born in London and raised in New York. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. By profession she was an English teacher in New York and, along with her husband Isaac Blachor, she was a community leader and activist. 

Evelyn volunteered for many years with Amit Women, where she served as National President from 1995-1999. She was also instrumental in helping to build the Mikvah in West Hempstead, where she and Isaac lived for many years and raised their three children. 

Evelyn is survived by those children, 12 grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. May her memory be a blessing.
