Despite the losses we have all experienced the past two years, including the closing of companies and organizations no longer included in these pages, the guide reminds us we are one big mishpachah in this struggle together. The cover of this issue pays tribute to one such loss.

Discover Chutzpah at The Breman Museum the breman museum presents
HIS TORY W IT H
CHUTZPAH Remarkable Stories of the Southern Jewish Adventure
I
1733 - PRESENT
t took chutzpah to launch Georgia’s only Jewish museum 25 years ago, so it’s only fitting that Atlanta’s William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum will mark its silver anniversary with the appropriately titled exhibition History with Chutzpah.
Opening on September 19, 2021, the exhibition presents an artifact-rich and interactive immersion into the colorful history of Jewish culture in Georgia and Alabama that serves as the foundation of Jewish life in the Southeast today. History with Chutzpah will be “driven by stories,” co-curator Sandra Berman said, illustrated and enhanced by more than 300 objects, documents, photographs and oral histories. It gives voice to people past and present whose experiences, achievements and perspectives are reflected in The Breman’s deep archival collections.
Sandra Berman
The exhibit draws strongly from the Ida Pearle and Joseph Cuba Archives for Southern Jewish History at The Breman Museum. Established in 1984, the archive has grown to be one of the country’s most respected repositories
documenting JewishAmerican life. Berman was the archivist who began organizing and building it for the Jewish Federation of Atlanta even before a museum was on the drawing board. Her Chutzpah co-curator Jane Leavey was The Breman’s founding director. Breman Museum Executive Director Leslie Gordon knew that they were perfect to or- Leslie Gordon ganize the 25th anniversary exhibit about those who have helped shape Jewish life in Georgia and Alabama from 1733 to today. “Jane and Sandy were insistent even before the founding of the Breman Museum that these stories be captured and treated with respect, for the insights and lessons that they would provide in the future,” Gordon said. “Now with History with Chutzpah, important chapters of our past come alive once again.” To put it politely, people with chutzpah do not lack audaciousness or nerve. The Yiddish word originally carried a somewhat negative connotation. But in English, it has taken on a more positive meaning, emphasizing an individual’s courage, mettle or ardor. Berman and Leavey organized the exhibit into six sections: Courage & Conformity, Hope & Survival, Success & Loss, Patriotism & Perseverance, Benevolence & Community and Murder & Mayhem. Artifacts that illustrate these stories include a 125-year-old bagel that a mother packed in her son’s knapsack when he shipped Jane Leavey off to Cuba to fight in the Spanish-American War; and cards played by young Polish sisters while they were in hiding from the Nazis circa 1943.
The exhibit is expected to remain on view for at least three years. You can visit The Breman Museum at 1440 Spring Street, Midtown Atlanta. Reserve your tickets before visiting at TheBreman.org.
Here are some of the stories that are included in the exhibition: ◄Morris B. Abram
▼Albert Steiner
Morris B. Abram, who emerged from humble rural South Georgia beginnings to become one of the leading civil rights lawyers in the U.S. during the 1950s. While unmasking the Ku Klux Klan and serving as a key intermediary for the release of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. from prison on the eve of the 1960 presidential election, Abram carried out a successful 14-year battle to end the discriminatory voting system in his home state, which had entrenched racial segregation. The result was the historic “one person, one vote” Supreme Court ruling in 1963.
Albert Steiner, who rose to be president of the Atlanta Brewing and Ice Co. and the man for whom the Steiner Building on the Grady Memorial Hospital campus is named. In the early part of the 20th century, Steiner’s son and wife died of cancer before Steiner himself lost his battle with the disease. He gave more than $500,000 (the equivalent of $8.1 million today) to Grady Hospital to create the state-of-the-art clinic that ended up serving as the model for cancer clinics across the country. Artifacts on view will include a bottle of one of his company’s longest-produced beers, Steinerbru.
Frances Hamburger Bunzl► Frances Hamburger Bunzl, who fled Germany in 1939 shortly after the Kristallnacht -- also called the Night of Broken Glass because of the shattered glass that littered streets after the vandalism and destruction of synagogues, Jewish-owned businesses, and homes. More than 90 Jews were killed, and approximately 30,000 Jewish men were rounded up and sent to concentration camps. With the help of American relatives, Frances found refuge in Atlanta in 1941, eventually becoming involved with the National Council of Jewish Women and serving as chancellor of the Austrian Consulate. Among many philanthropic initiatives, she endowed the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s timpani chair in memory of her late husband, gave generously to the High Museum of Art and established the Cantorial Chair at Temple Sinai.
◄Sam Greenblatt Sam Greenblatt, who lied about his age and enlisted with the 4th Tennessee Volunteer Infantry so he could fight in the Spanish-American War in 1898 when he was 16. Greenblatt is represented by one of the more unusual artifacts in Chutzpah: a nearly 125-year-old bagel. The story goes, Sam’s mother stuffed his knapsack with homemade bagels before he shipped off to Cuba, but one got buried in the bag and wasn’t discovered until his return. Petrified by time, it has been handed down through several generations of his family.
William Breman William Breman, president of Breman Steel, who became the Breman Museum’s namesake. Co-curator Jane Leavey recalled that in 1992, Breman, for whom the William Breman Jewish Home also is named, was looking for “something big to do for the community in terms of philanthropy.” Appreciating history, a plan for what became the Breman Museum soon took shape through the Jewish Federation of Atlanta, urged and then shaped by none other than Leavey. “Benevolence, community and charity,” Chutzpah’s wall text notes, “were the hallmarks of Bill Breman’s life.”
“Benevolence, community and charity were the hallmarks of Bill Breman’s life.” Chutzpah’s wall text notes
In addition to Sam Greenblatt’s bagel and Albert Steiner’s beer, notable artifacts bringing other stories to life in History with Chutzpah include …
Mechanical Blue Horse A mechanical blue horse used for promotions by Montag Brothers Inc., an Atlanta paper company known for its Blue Horse brand school products featuring collectible stamps that could be redeemed for prizes. A baby bassinet made from a wooden barrel for Dr. Raymond Harris, an Army Medical Corps surgeon, by German POWs he treated during World War II at Camp Clinton in Clinton, Miss. Dr. Harris and his wife used the bassinet for their son who was born in 1944.
Playing Cards
Enfield Rifle Musket An Enfield rifle musket used by Confederate soldier Jacob Rothschild of Selma, Alabama, circa 1862. Rothschild fought at the Battle of Vicksburg and the Battle of Elkhorn Tavern.
Playing cards used by young sisters Pola and Irene Blenstock while in hiding in a closet in Drohobycz, Poland, c.1943. To amuse the children and keep them quiet and safe, their nursemaid liberated the playing cards from the Gestapo officer’s home where she was employed as a maid.
The exhibit is expected to remain on view for at least three years. You can visit The Breman Museum at 1440 Spring Street, Midtown Atlanta. Reserve your tickets before visiting at TheBreman.org.

STRENGTHENING & CONNECTING OUR COMMUNITY
like never before
We are champions for Jewish Atlanta In “ordinary” times and extraordinary times, it takes a champion to sustain a strong Jewish community. That’s the role of Federation. As the philanthropic champion, we’re here to guide you, so you can support the causes that matter most to you. Your generosity directly impacts the lives of thousands in our community and beyond. Last year we enabled more than $53 million of impact through Federation and Atlanta Jewish Foundation! And with your help we are continuing to move our community forward.
Through your philanthropic investments, we also build community, because Federation is not just a philanthropic champion; we are a community champion for Jewish Atlanta. Being a community champion means creating and nurturing partnerships with you and all our partners to move our community boldly forward. It means planning for the community – looking at the big picture to fill gaps, responding to needs, and building our community’s capacity. And it also means running intiatives when there is multi-organizational impact, benefit from deep collaboration, or the need for a place to prototype and experiment.

Support Services
Volunteer Services
Things most of us take for granted – food, transportation, the ability to make ends meet – are daily challenges for others. Sometimes, just a little added assistance can make all the difference. At JF&CS, we offer emergency assistance with the mission of helping people in economic crisis to help themselves. Our Kosher Food Pantry provides food security to those in need in our community. For people to be truly successful in transforming their own lives, they often need support in multiple areas – not just what seems to be the primary problem. JF&CS provides that support.
Volunteer Services has an array of opportunities to get involved and make a difference. From assisting with organizing fundraising events that host hundreds of people, to making a one-on-one connection with an older adult, to stocking our food pantry, group outdoor projects, or volunteering at the Ben Massell Dental Clinic, there are many ways to help the community.

Jewish Holidays SEPTEMBER 2021 Mon 6 Sep | Erev Rosh Hashana Tue 7 Sep – Wed 9 Sep | Rosh Hashana 5782 – 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’s commandments.
Thur 9 Sep | 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.
Wed 15 Sep | Erev Yom Kippur Thur 16 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.

Mon 20 Sep | Erev Sukkot Tues 21 Sep – Mon 27 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.
Jewish Holidays 2021-2022/5782
NOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2021 Sun 28 Nov | Erev Chanukah
Mon 29 Nov – Mon 6 Dec | Chanukah The kindling of the menorah is the focal point of the Chanukah holiday, symbolizing religious freedom and the strength of the Jewish spirit. The menorah is kindled on each of the eight nights of Chanukah, this year beginning Dec. 10. 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 in its designated place, separated from the other candles.
Tues 14 Dec| Fast of 10th of Tevet In the year 3336 from Creation (425 B.C.E.) on the 10th day of Tevet the armies of Nebuchadnezzar laid siege to Jerusalem. This led to the destruction of the Temple on 9 Av of 3338. As a result, the Jewish people were exiled to Babylonia for 70 years.
JANUARY 2022 Mon 17 Jan | Tu B’Shevat In Jewish tradition, the 15th 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.
MARCH 2022 Wed 16 Mar| Erev Purim Thur 17 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
Jewish Holidays APRIL 2022 Fri 15 Apr | Erev Pesach Sat 16 Apr – Sat 23 Apr | Pesach (Passover) On Pesach (Passover) we celebrate the birth of the Jewish nation with our miraculous redemption from Egypt. Pesach is observed 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.
MAY 2022 Sun 15 May | Pesach Sheni When the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, this day offered a second chance to offer the Passover sacrifice for those who had been unable to bring their offering at the appropriate time.
Thur 19 May | Lag B’Omer On this date, in the early 2nd century, the students of Rabbi Akiva, the greatest sage of that era, ceased to die from an epidemic. Years later on this same date, his student Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, Mishnaic 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.
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 matzah, 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.
JUNE 2022
We eat maror (bitter herbs) remembering the bitterness of the enslavement.
Sat 4 Jun | Erev Shavuot
THE LAST DAY OF PESACH
Shavuot celebrates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. It is on this day that we became G-d’s “chosen people,” and G-d formed a bond with us that will never be broken.
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.
Sun 5 Jun – Mon 6 Jun | Shavuot
SHAVUOT OBSERVANCES All-night Torah study is practiced on the first night of Shavuot. This is the best preparation for receiving the Torah. Reading of the Ten Commandments occurs in the synagogue on the first day of Shavuot. Bring your children too! A festive dairy meal is served on the first day of Shavuot. Like milk for an infant, we receive our spiritual nourishment from the Torah.

Jewish Holidays 2021-2022/5782 Sun 25 Sept | Erev Rosh Hashanah Mon 26 Sept - Tue 27 Sept | Rosh Hashanah Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. It is the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, and a day of judgment and coronation of G-d as king. Rosh Hashanah observances include candle lighting in the evenings, festive meals with sweet delicacies during the night and day, prayer services that include the sounding of the ram’s horn (shofar) on both mornings, and desisting from creative work. Wed 28 Sept | Fast of Gedaliah
JULY 2022 Sun 16 Jul | Fast of 17 Tammuz The 17th of Tammuz commemorates the breach of the walls of Jerusalem by the Romans, in 69 C.E., after a lengthy siege. This led to the destruction of the second Temple on the 9th of Av.
AUGUST 2022
OCTOBER 2022 Tue 4 Oct | Erev Yom Kippur Wed 5 Oct | Yom Kippur Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year, the day on which we are closest to G-d and to the quintessence of our own souls. It is the Day of Atonement: “For on this day He will forgive you, to purify you, that you be cleansed from all your sins before G-d” (Leviticus: 16:30).
Fri 5 Aug | Erev Tisha B’Av Sat 6 Aug | Tisha 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 40 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 B.C.E.) and the second Temple (68 C.E.).
Fri 12 Aug | Tu B’Av Said Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel: There were no greater festivals for Israel than the 15th of Av and Yom Kippur. On these days the daughters of Jerusalem would go out ... and dance in the vineyards. And what would they say? “Young man, raise your eyes and see which you select for yourself...” (Talmud, Taanit 26b)
SEPTEMBER 2022 Sat 17 Sep | Leil Selichot
Sun 9 Oct | Erev Sukkot Mon 10 Oct - Sun 16 Oct | Sukkot The seven days of Sukkot, celebrated by dwelling in the sukkah, incorporating the four kinds of plants and rejoicing, are followed by Simchat Torah. Sukkot, when we expose ourselves to the elements in greenery-covered huts, commemorates G-d sheltering our ancestors as they traveled from Egypt to the Promised Land. The four kinds of plants used express our unity and our belief in G-d’s omnipresence. Coming after the solemn high holidays, it is a time of joy and happiness.
