Her daughters went to the on-site
day camp while she and her husband
enjoyed the lectures and other programs.
They frequently participated in Jewish
programs at the Everett Jewish Life
Center and Chabad house.
In 2012, they bought a condo at the
center of town they rent out when they’re
not using it themselves.
“We named it BesheRitz, since we
felt it was bashert that we purchased it,”
Couf-Cohen said. The previous own-
ers were named Cohen and they lived
the rest of the year in the same Florida
retirement community as her father-in-
law.
Barbara and Paul Goodman of
Huntington Woods discovered
Chautauqua six years ago while driving
home from Boston. They’ve gone back
for a week every year since, staying in
a condo they reserve almost a year in
advance. Barbara Goodman, a retired
business consultant, said she enjoys the
Jewish programming and the Friday
evening lakeside Kabbalat Shabbat
services.
“Chautauqua is a magical place filled
with exceptional educational, cultural
and entertainment experiences within
an atmosphere of physical beauty,” she
said.

exponentially.
For several years, Walter was on the
Chautauqua Institution’s board, and Joan
served as president of the Chautauqua
Hebrew Congregation. Their children,
grandchildren and now great-grand-
children come to visit.
“Their two summer months at
Chautauqua were the high points of my
parents’ lives,” said Gad-Harf, director
of corporate relations for Henry Ford
Health System.
Karen Couf-Cohen of Franklin, who
owns a public relations agency, has been
going to Chautauqua every year since
she was a child.
Her father, Hebert Couf, a symphony
clarinetist, had friends who played with
the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra
and took the family to visit them.
Eleven years ago, she and her hus-
band, cardiologist Gerry Cohen, rented
a house in Chautauqua for themselves,
their two daughters and her parents.
“We fell in love with the place,”
Couf-Cohen said. “It’s a gated, no-cars
community, and bicycles are a primary
means of transportation. It was the first
place my older daughter, then 7, could
get on her bicycle and just go wherever!”
Couf-Cohen said the Victorian-era,
flower-filled lakeside community is
“idyllic — the town you wish you grew

or many years, the Men of Reform
Judaism sponsored a Jewish
Chautauqua Society, modeled on the
“mother Chautauqua” in New York.
The Jewish Chautauqua Society
was started in 1893 by Henry
Berkowitz of Philadelphia and held its
first assembly in 1897 in Atlantic City.
Its mission was “the dissemination
of knowledge of the Jewish religion
by fostering the study of its history
and literature, giving popular courses
of instruction, issuing publications,
establishing reading circles, holding
general assemblies and by such other
means as may from time to time be
found necessary and proper.”
The Jewish Chautauqua Society’s
accomplishments included the first
national Jewish teachers’ institute, a
correspondence school for religious-
school teachers, and programs in
adult education, textbook publica-
tion, audio-visual production and
curricular development.
But the Jewish Chautauqua Society
never achieved the success of the
Chautauqua Institution on which it
was modeled, and it was disbanded
in 2015 during a reorganization of the
Men of Reform Judaism.
