Welcome to the 2019 Guide to Jewish Atlanta. The Atlanta Jewish Times’ resource guide helps our community stay connected, is a great reference in time of need, and is a community Who’s Who for our nonprofit, synagogue, school and kehillat. The best part of using this guide is that it helps remind us that we are one big family. In addition to this print version, I want to make sure that you are aware of the online resource directory Michael embedded in the Atlanta Jewish Connector (www. Morris AtlantaJewishConnector.com). Many people use the Publisher Connector as an event planning tool as well as to learn what is happening this week around Greater Atlanta socially, spiritually, educationally, artistically and culturally, for networking and for holiday celebrations, just to name a few. Behind each event is an organization; and behind the calendar is a directory with detailed information about the organizations that serve our community (services, location and leaders). Our Jewish community is vibrant and awaits your participation. This year’s resource guide adds 250 more companies and organizations to its registry. As comprehensive as we strive to be, there will always be an organization that we inadvertently left out or is new to the community. Please let us know if you want to be included in next year’s guide or added immediately to the online resource directory at publisher@AtlJewishTimes.com or 404-883-2130 x100. Thank you for being a loyal reader and advancing our motto: Subscribe, Support & Sustain your local paper.

HISTORIC JEWISH ATLANTA 10 Very Jewish Places in Atlanta The history of Atlanta is layered with great events, people, places and stories. Many of the stories are about the iconic landmarks that Atlanta is built upon which have a fascinating, sometimes hidden Jewish past. When exploring the Jewish history of Atlanta stories about The Coca-Cola Company, civil rights, Georgia Tech, Henry Grady Memorial Hospital, the High Museum of Art, Macy’s, the Braves, Home Depot and so many others emerge. Here are 10 ‘must see’ locations around Atlanta with a Jewish story.

Five Points

The name refers to the convergence of Marietta Street, Edgewood Avenue, Decatur Street, and two legs of Peachtree Street and was once the center of life and commerce in Atlanta. Here began the origins of the Atlanta Jewish community. Many significant Jewish businesses existed in this location, including Jacobs’ Pharmacy, the first place to sell Coca-Cola.

Postcard featuring a view of Peachtree Street, 1909.

Oakland Cemetery

Historic Oakland Cemetery is Atlanta’s oldest public park and the final resting place of many of the city’s most noted citizens. Less than a mile from downtown, its 48 acres are full of treasures – history and gardens, sculpture and architecture, ancient oaks and magnolias. Explore the history, burial customs, and symbolism found throughout the Jewish grounds of this powerful city landmark. Hear the fascinating stories of life and persistence as waves of Jewish immigrants entered and adapted to the culture of Victorian America. The three Jewish sections of the cemetery are full of significant members of the community that made Atlanta into the city we know today. Entrance gate to Oakland Cemetery.

Factory Town

Also known as Cabbagetown and originally the Fulton Mill Village, Cabbagetown has a long and storied history in the annals of the Southern mill town. Intrepid guests navigate this historic district’s past and present by walking along its narrow European-like streets and viewing unique forms of architecture that contribute to the neighborhood’s character; Engaging with locally owned and familyrun businesses along its 130-plus-year-old commercial center which includes Fulton Bag & Cotton Mill. Cabbagetown originated due to the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill, once the largest employer in Atlanta. To house all of the employees, Cabbagetown spawned into the unique neighborhood we know today. Aerial view of the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill with Cabbagetown in the foreground. 22 | GUIDE TO JEWISH ATLANTA 2019

The Temple

Founded in 1867, the Temple is Atlanta’s oldest synagogue and one of the most historic Jewish religious institutions in America. Travel 150 years through its history to discover how the Temple and its community have changed and grown with time, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement. Uncover a past forged by a commitment to both Jewish life and social justice work that continues to inspire and shape the city of Atlanta as a whole.

Sanctuary at the Temple

The Roosevelt Historic Apartment Homes

Originally home to Girls High School and then renamed Roosevelt High School after World War II is where a large portion of the Jewish population attended. It represents the history of Atlanta’s public-school system, which is rooted in Jewish history, and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Girls’ High School class, c. 1912.

Civil Rights Trolley Tour

Experience this one-of-a-kind trolley tour of the Jewish connection to Atlanta’s Civil Rights Movement! Explore the role Jewish institutions played in the fight for integration with tour stops at The Temple, Prior Tire, the Rich’s Building, the Peachtree Manor Hotel, and the American Motor Hotel.

Prior Tire, c. 1935

Fulton Bag & Cotton Mill

Explore the Fulton Bag & Cotton Mill. Once the largest employer in Atlanta, the Fulton Bag & Cotton Mill is now loft apartments and condos. Explore the Jewish history of the factory and how it gave rise to Cabbagetown and also Georgia Tech.

Vice City: Sex, Sin, Stock Cars, and Booze

Take a deep dive into Atlanta’s notorious red-light district; the combustible push-and-pull behind prohibition and race relations; and the dare-devil “trippers” who quenched Atlanta’s insatiable thirst by smuggling moonshine in souped-up Fords from the north Georgia mountains and laid the groundwork for NASCAR. Learn about the Jewish merchants who thrived here.

Mike Shurman’s saloon at 189 Decatur Street, c. 1900. ATLANTA JEWISH TIMES | 23

The Beltline

Twenty years ago, a Georgia Tech grad student outlined a vision in a master’s thesis that has literally transformed the Gate City. Today, nothing reflects the Atlanta’s 21st Century urban renewal better than the Beltline, a network of railroad tracks converted into biking and walking trails that will form a contiguous loop of 33 miles once completed. Explore Atlanta’s Jewish past and present and ponder the future.

Sears building that is today Ponce City Market, 1936.

Fox Theatre

Take a one-of-a-kind behind the scenes tour of the Fox Theatre and learn about its Jewish founder, William Fox, born Wilhelm Fuchs, and his imprint in the entertainment business as we know it today.

The William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum

Atlanta’s Jewish Museum and preeminent cultural center in the Southeast connects people of all backgrounds in understanding and appreciation of Jewish history, culture and arts. Its midtown Atlanta location hosts a permanent Holocaust exhibition highlighting the resilience of local survivors, plus comprehensive archives on Southern Jewish history, the most extensive of their kind. And the museum’s galleries are a showcase for exclusive exhibitions showcasing Jewish themes.

These locations are just a few that make up the story of historic Jewish Atlanta. You can visit them on your own and with the assistance of the Historic Jewish Atlanta app that is free and available for Android and iPhone. Additionally, The Breman Museum along with Gate City Tours have created a series of scheduled tours of historic Jewish Atlanta, where you can experience this history at its source.

JEWISH HOLIDAYS

2019-20/5780

SEPTEMBER 2019 Sun 29 Sep | Erev Rosh Hashana Mon 30 Sep – Tues 1 Oct | Rosh Hashana 5779 – Rosh Hashanah is literally, the head of the Jewish year – and the birthday of all of creation. It commemorates the creation of Adam and Eve, the first humans. Man was the first to acknowledge G-d’s kingship over the universe, and on Rosh Hashanah we renew this commitment to G-d and His commandments.

OCTOBER 2019 Wed 2 Oct | Fast of Gedaliah On the third of Tishrei, we commemorate the assassination of Gedaliah ben Achikam, governor of the First Jewish Commonwealth in the Holy Land. The result of his assassination was the end of Jewish autonomy in the Land of Israel.

Sun 13 Oct | Erev Sukkot Mon 24 Sep – Tue 25 Sep | Sukkot – The name Sukkot is derived from the word Sukkah, or hut. In commemoration of the protective “clouds of glory” with which G-d surrounded the Jewish people on their way out of Egypt, we live in makeshift huts during the seven days of this holiday.

Mon 21 Oct | Shmini Atzeret Tue 22 Oct | Simchat Torah – Simchat Torah marks the day we complete the reading of the Torah in its annual cycle. On the evening of Simchat Torah, (and in many communities, on the previous evening of Shemini Atzeret as well) we make seven Hakafot (circuits) around the table upon which the Torah is read, dancing and rejoicing with the Torah scrolls. During morning services on Simchat Torah, we complete the Torah, reading the last Torah portion. We immediately start reading the Torah from the beginning again-remembering that the Torah is an endless source of wisdom, each cycle challenging us to discover its ever deeper meaning.

DECEMBER 2019 Tue 8 Oct | Erev Yom Kippur Wed 19 Sep | Yom Kippur – Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. It is a day of spiritual cleansing: We acknowledge our shortcomings and transgressions, with a firm resolution for a better future; G-d promises us forgiveness, and the chance for a fresh start. We refrain from work, and avoid any food or drink, as well as washing, using oils or lotions, marital relations and regular (leather) shoes.

Sun 22 Dec – Mon 30 Dec | Chanukah – The kindling of the Menorah

is the focal point of the Chanukah holiday, symbolling religious freedom and the strength of the Jewish spirit. The menorah is kindled on each of the eight nights of Chanukah, this year beginning on December 2nd. The Menorah is placed at the left side of a central doorway of the home, or at the front window. The candles should be lit immediately following sunset,

and should be prepared, so that they will remain lit for at least a half hour after dusk. In keeping with Shabbat observance, the Menorah is lit before the Shabbat candles on Friday evening and after the Havdalah ceremony at the end of Shabbat. Gather all family members and light the Shamash, the service candle. Recite the proper blessings and then light the candles beginning from the left. Then place the Shamash as it designated place, separated from the other candles.

Tue 7 Jan | Fast of 10th of Teves In the year 3336 from Creation (425 BCE) on the 10th day Teves , the armies of the Nebuchadnezzar laid siege to Jerusalem. This led to the destruction of the Temple on the 9 Av of the 3338. As a result, the Jewish people were exiled to Babylonia for 70 years.

FEBRUARY 2020 Mon 10 Feb | Tu B’Shvat – In

Jewish tradition, the fifteenth day of Shevat marks the “New Year” for the trees, opening the season in which trees begin to bud in the Holy Land.

It is customary to celebrate this date by enjoying some fruit, especially the five fruits mentioned in the Torah in connection with Israel: Grapes, Figs, Pomegranates, Olives, and Dates.

Sat 9 Apr – Sat 16 Apr | Pesach CELEBRATING PESACH (PASSOVER) On Pesach we celebrate the birth of the Jewish nation with our miraculous redemption from Egypt. Pesach is celebrated by refraining from eating (or even owning) any foods which are chametz (leavened), and by participating in a Seder dinner on the first two nights of the holiday.

THE SEDER The Pesach Seder, conducted each of the first two nights of Pesach, is the central event of the Passover festival. We drink four cups of wine (or grape juice), remembering the redemption and its four stages. We ask the “Four Questions” and recite the Haggadah, retelling the story of Passover and the miracles of our redemption. We eat Shmurah Matazah, the plain unleavened bread which isn’t allowed to rise, remembering both the simple bread of slaves and the swiftness of the redemption from Egypt. We eat Maror (bitter herbs), remembering the bitterness of the enslavement.

THE LAST DAY OF PESACH The eighth and final day of Pesach is associated with the ultimate redemption through Moshiach, and our fervent hope for its imminent arrival. In many communities, a festive “Moshiach Meal” is organized toward the evening, to emphasize this day’s special dimension.

MARCH 2020 Wed 9 Mar | Erev Purim Thu 10 Mar | Purim – The actual story of Purim, as told in the Scroll of Esther, is as fascinating and spellbinding as any best seller. Yet, though it is scared Scripture, we do not find the name of G-d mentioned even once! But within the intricate details of the Megillah, we can detect the unmistakable hand of Divine Providence. The closer we examine the story, the more we discover that even seemingly insignificant events are precisely arranged by the hand of the Almighty. ATLANTA JEWISH TIMES | 47

Tues 12 May | Lag BaOmer – On this date, in the early 2nd century, the

students of Rabbi Akiva, the greatest sage of that era, ceased to die from and epidemic. Years later on this same date, his student Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, Michnaic sage and author of the Zohar (the seminal work of Kabbalah) passed away. Having fulfilled his mission in this world he asked that the anniversary of his death be celebrated as a joyous occasion. Throughout the Land of Israel – and indeed in Jewish communities throughout the world – this day is marked with festivities and bonfires. In particular, thousands journey to rejoice in the town of Meron, the site of Rabbi Shimon’s resting place.

Thurs 28 May | Erev Shavuot

The 17th of Tammuz commemorates the breach of the walls of Jerusalem by the Romans, in 69 CE, after a lengthy siege. This led to the destruction of the second Temple on the 9th of Av. In light of the actual day of 17 Tammuz occurring this year on Shabbat the fast is postponed until Sunday.

Thurs 20 Jul | Tish’a B’Av – The Ninth of Av has been a sad day on the

Jewish calendar from the earliest days of our history as a people. Just one year after our forefathers left Egypt, it was on this date that G-d punished that generation, decreeing that they would wander the desert for forty years, never entering into the Holy Land. The focus of our mourning, however, is on the destruction on this date of both the first Temple (422 BCE) and the second Temple (68 CE). In light of the actual day of 9 Av occurring this year on Shabbat the fast begins at Sunset on Shabbat and continues until Sunday nightfall.

On these days the daughters of Jerusalem would go out... and dance in the vineyards.
