BEHAR,
Mathilda
Mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, best friend. Born April 14,
1923, in Istanbul, Turkey. Died January 6 in Richmond Hill, Ontario,
of a heart attack, aged 84.
By Melanie Kazman
KOHN,
Page L8
Mathilda, or Gram as she was affectionately known by all, was
a petite woman. But it was astounding what a large heart she
had. She gave completely of herself through her teachings, support
and love.
Mathilda was a woman of the world, exuding knowledge and intellect.
She was exceptionally well read, was fluent in eight languages
and could instantly calculate mathematical equations in her head.
She was educated in a French convent in Istanbul, and won numerous
awards in school, before moving to Palestine in her teens. She
was even accepted to the Sorbonne in Paris, with the eventual
goal of studying medicine, but she didn't attend. In 1940, she
married Albert
BEHAR; they had three children, Yosi, Lina and
Ada.
Mathilda remained in Jerusalem through the War of Independence
in 1948 and the Six-Day War in 1967. In 1968, she picked up her
entire life and travelled halfway across the world to be with
her children. In Toronto, she worked as an accountant, a French
tutor and a dressmaker. She was a talented woman who did what
she had to do to support her family.
Mathilda took a significant interest in her family tree and traced
her roots back to Spain in the 1400s. She would tell stories
of her ancestors, who were Spanish consuls sent to France, Turkey,
Denmark and other countries. A proud member of the Sedaka family,
and a first cousin to Neil Sedaka, Gram had a wonderful singing
voice.
Mathilda was always there to help family and Friends and shared
her many talents with them: She worked at her children's businesses
and hand-sewed wedding dresses and bridesmaid gowns. Until recently
she knitted clothing for those in need, making hats, scarves
and blankets for homeless people, cancer patients and babies
in intensive care.
Mathilda was always conscious of others' feelings, and instilled
in her children and grandchildren a sense of respect, etiquette
and politeness. She had an amazing ability to see the best in
people. She perfected the phrase "my sweetheart," said with strong
meaning. In spite of her physical weakness by the end, she continued
to give with all she had.
Mathilda was ecstatic to have participated in all seven of her
grandchildren's weddings, and was blessed to become a great-grandmother
nine times.
A lady with class, she loved whole-heartedly and enjoyed the
little but important things in life. Certain songs, such as Wind
Beneath My Wings, brought her to tears. In her unassuming, soft-spoken
and insightful manner, she was a pillar of strength.
Melanie Kazman
KOHN is Mathilda's granddaughter.
