Then I ran into her a couple of weeks later at a party, and I said, \"This is ironic because I knew Margo [Weiller Edlin] because she had dated a friend of mine in college.\" I said, \"I had never met her before.\" We started talking, and I asked her out on a date, and I asked her out on another. As the saying goes, another and another, and another. One thing led to another, and I asked her to marry me in June of 1983, and we got married in December of 1983, on December 24th, 19... I always like to tell everybody, \"What's a nice Jewish couple doing on Christmas Eve? You get married.\" It also happened to be that day, five degrees below zero, which was the coldest day in recorded history, on that day in Atlanta, Georgia. Had some friends of mine from Washington, D.C., who drove down. One of my friends had a Volvo car with diesel. It was so cold that the diesel in his car gelled up. He had to fly back home and fly back down a week later when it warmed up, so he could drive his car back home. That's a great story.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746#t=1030.0,1132.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746/transcript/91357/annotation/34","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eHALPERN:\u003c/strong\u003e Yes.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746#t=1132.0,1133.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746/transcript/91357/annotation/35","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eAROGETI:\u003c/strong\u003e I was very fond and remember it.

I worked in the warehouse, and my job was to take orders, pack up the boxes and get them ready to be shipped. In those days you had hundreds of different styles and colors of wigs, and we would take orders on paper, walk around the warehouse to where the boxes were organized by color and shape and size, and then fill them, pack them and get them ready to be shipped out. I did that for one summer, and then it was an amazing job. Another summer, I helped one of my friend's dads work construction.

There are some helicopter parents and tiger moms that are out there and and that's wonderful. People have those personalities, but I think your children watch you more than they listen to you. Your children observe, and they remember things you don't remember. You can tell them what to do, but I believe my particular style of being a parent is to lead by example, and get them involved and participate in the things we do. For example, about 15 years ago, I got involved in an organization called Leadership Atlanta. As a result of that, I became on the board of Hosea Feed the Hungry and Homeless, which is an African American centric Christian ministry. I was a volunteer because they had a big Thanksgiving meal that they would serve people, Christmas, Easter, Martin Luther King [Jr.] weekend. When I got to know the organization, I got to know the executive director, who was also a classmate of mine in Leadership Atlanta, Elisabeth Williams-Omilami, the daughter of Hosea Williams and Juanita [T.] Williams. Elizabeth [Williams-Omilami] asked me to be on the board. I asked Elizabeth [Williams Omilami], \"Why would you ask a white Jewish male to be on your African-American Christian ministry?\" She said, \"Joel [Arogeti], we need you. We need your critical thinking and we need your advice and counsel,\" and which I agreed to serve. I was on the board for eight years and I eventually became their board chair, which is one of the most enriching experiences of my life. I'm pleased to say that it's been rebranded now as Hosea Helps, and they do more than just feeding the hungry and homeless. They serve in a variety of different education- and employment-related activities for people in need. After volunteering there for a number of years, my kids came to me and asked if they could volunteer. As a family, for many years we used to go down to the DeKalb County Jail on Thanksgiving Eve, and prepare meals in their commissary—because at one point in time, it was Hosea Feed the Hungry and Homeless—served over 10,000 meals to people on Thanksgiving Day, both people that would come to the event and deliver to shut ins. I didn't ask my kids to do this, but by them volunteering to do that, it gave me a sense of satisfaction knowing that we were doing something right. The fact that they're in leadership positions at Federation, or at the synagogue, or in worthy not-for-profits, also likewise, gives me some modest satisfaction that I think we did okay, and we're doing okay with these kids.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746#t=1589.0,1781.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746/transcript/91357/annotation/50","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eHALPERN:\u003c/strong\u003e What motivated you to get active with the Atlanta Jewish organizations?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746#t=1781.0,1788.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746/transcript/91357/annotation/51","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eAROGETI:\u003c/strong\u003e My dad was very active in our synagogue, and he was the managing partner of his accounting firm, Habif, Arogeti, and Wynne, which eventually became Aprio. Dad was very active at the synagogue, and that was his primary area of leadership. My mom got active in the community. Because we spent so much time at the Jewish Community Center, she was on various committees, including the day camp committee. I remember as a teen, having my mom go to the Jewish Community Center for various meetings, and have people come to me, adults, saying how much they appreciated having my mother on their committee. I really didn't know very much about it. It really wasn't until I became a young adult working at Camp Barney Medintz, that I learned more about the structure of Jewish organizations in Atlanta, other than my synagogue. I learned about Federation. I learned about the Breman Jewish Home. I learned about, at that time, the Jewish Vocational Service and Jewish Family Service, which eventually merged into JF\u0026CS [Jewish Family and Career Services]. I was very privileged from being active in leadership at JF\u0026CS. My grandmother, my maternal grandmother, Rebecca Alhadeff...

I saw how JF\u0026CS ran this workshop for older adults. I think that, at the time, they paid them $0.50 an hour and gave them lunch twice a week. Sometimes they would drive to the facility. Other times, when they were too old to drive, a bus would pick them up and take them. I just said to myself, those are the types of organizations, that we here in Atlanta...sometimes are unsung heroes. As a result of that, I volunteer for JF\u0026CS.

I think that, while I enjoyed their youth and participating in various athletic activities, whether it was basketball, baseball, softball, soccer... As a father, I coached a couple of them, and I used to always tell them they had a much greater chance of owning a major league team...[interviewer laughs]...than playing for one. I put youth sports in perspective. While I cheered loudly and enjoyed them, I really reveled in all of their activities, whether they were a tree, or a singer in a play, or whether or not they had an art project. One volunteer activity comes to mind. My son Jonathan [Arogeti] was in high school, and he came home one day and said, \"Dad, we have a homeless problem in Sandy Springs.\" I said, \"Really? I didn't know.\" I know there are homeless people, but I didn't know exactly what he was referring to. He said, \"Yes, and a group of students and I, we decided with the teacher's permission, we're going to have a sleep in on the football field, and we're all going to get cardboard boxes, and sleep on a cardboard box one night out outdoors, with adult supervision. We invited the mayor to come at the time.\" The mayor met with the students and said, \"Oh, there's no homeless problem in Sandy Springs.\" My son and his friends, then juniors or seniors in high school, had to educate the mayor that, in fact, there was homelessness in Sandy Springs. People living under bridges. People living in shelters. People living on the streets. I think once or twice a year now, a group of volunteers goes out and makes an effort to try to contact and count the number of homeless people in the community, so they can properly plan for people, and try to get them in senior workshops, and things like that. That was a memorable event because, that was not something that that we did. I think my involvement in Hosea Feed the Hungry was more when the kids were in college or post-college.

They're all so different, but I don't want to do without any one of them. No one of them is my favorite.\" While none of my volunteer activities is my favorite, I'll tell you the way I think about life, which is... I think in concentric circles, and what is the core, and what is next to the core, and what's outside, as you get in these concentric circles. The core has to be your faith. What do you believe in? In my volunteer activity at Or VeShalom has been lifelong. As an adult, I was a mentee of Rabbi Joseph Cohen. He was born in Turkey, went to Havana, Cuba. In his youth, he became the headmaster of the Hebrew High School in Havana, Cuba, of the Sephardic Hebrew High School. He came to the United States in 1934 to be our rabbi, our first full-time rabbi in our synagogue. Even though we'd been around for 20 years, we just had congregants leading services, and he was very instrumental in my background and faith. I was also privileged to work with Rabbi Robert Ichay, born in Tunisia, educated in England, and came to the United States in 1970 to be the rabbi at Or VeShalom, succeeding Rabbi Cohen. Those two gentlemen were very influential and in my life, along with my father, in terms of male figures. Being present, being on the board, being vice president, being president. I was on the board Or VeShalom for over 20 years, and still to this day stay active in its affairs, on various committees. The work I've done at the Marcus Jewish Community Center... I was privileged to be on their board for ten years, also served as their board chair. What the hook that got me involved in the JCC [Jewish Community Center] was really the summer and summer overnight camp. I was very active in Camp Barney Medintz. Some of my mentors in life were leaders at that camp that I'm still friendly with today. That's another circle, or sphere, of influence.

I'm an attorney, and I have the privilege of practicing at three amazing law firms. The private firm, besides the SEC [Securities and Exchange Commission], I was at Dickstein, Shapiro, and Morin in Washington, D.C., for a couple of years. I like to say I was a drone in a big law firm. I did a lot of work. But when I moved to Atlanta, I practiced at the law firm of Frankel, Hardwick, Tanenbaum, Fink, and Clark. Sam Frankel and Allan Tanenbaum were two of my mentors there. Although Sam's [Frankel's] deceased, Allan [Tanenbaum] is still a friend and a mentor. I've had the privilege of working with Allan [Tanenbaum] for many years, and I was there for 12 years, and I was one of their junior partners. In 1996, my partner, Barbara Link, and David Cooper, and I moved to Kitchens Kelley Gaynes, also another similar, closely held local practice here in Atlanta, Georgia. I was a partner there, and eventually became the managing partner for 20 years. That was a real chore because I still had a full-time practice while serving as the managing partner. We grew the firm from five lawyers when we first joined, to eight lawyers, and eventually to 25 lawyers, with over 40 employees. A few years ago, our senior partners retired, and we rebranded the firm as Ruda, Hirschfeld, Papera, and Hoffman, where I am a partner there, and I'm proud that we've opened up a Washington, D.C., Silver Spring [Maryland, United States] office, as our firm expands. I'm really excited to see about what's going on there. Although I'm not in the leadership roles of the firm anymore, I'm the most senior partner. I really enjoy watching the younger lawyers bloom and blossom in their practice, and not having leadership responsibilities at the firm anymore. In terms of formal responsibility, I get to spend more time with clients, and that's still a joy of mine, because I enjoy working with clients. I represent individuals and their closely held businesses, and you really get to know your clients.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746#t=2297.0,2426.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746/transcript/91357/annotation/58","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eHALPERN:\u003c/strong\u003e In reviewing your online presence, there's an article, life and legacy article, called, \"Philanthropy: Art of Giving Away Someone Else's Money.\" Could you explain that?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746#t=2426.0,2442.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746/transcript/91357/annotation/59","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eAROGETI:\u003c/strong\u003e Sure. My dad... When I was very young, my dad was an accountant for many years who also had a law degree. On his desk was a little box, and on it said, \"My tax deductions.\" You open it up. It was pictures of his four children. My dad was a bit of a joker, and my dad used to always tell me, as one of my mentors, that there were two ways to raise children, and he didn't know either one of them. That was the humor of Jimmy Arogeti. I still have, to this day, two cartoons in my office, on the wall. One of them is a picture of a man at a desk, talking to his wife, and the caption is, \"I'm preparing my will. Do you want anything?\" [interviewer laughs] The other caption is a Charlie Brown, Charles Schulz cartoon that says, \"I want to be a philanthropist.\" The other character says, \"What's a philanthropist?\" And it says, \"Giving away other people's money.\" My brother Robert [Arogeti], who's very active in the community, encouraged my father to set up a very small private foundation. We call it the Argo Family Fund. When we were growing up, there was very little money to put in it. But my dad, for tax reasons, would occasionally put money in, and over time, more and more money put in. When we became young adults, he would educate us and teach us about it, and we would meet as a family—my mother, my brothers, my sisters and I, my dad—and we would talk a little bit about it. It was so small that it really wasn't very material. But over time, it grew. Over time, he encouraged all of his children to participate and contribute to it, and some of us have. It's grown, and it's provided a opportunity for my siblings and I to get together and talk about what's really important to us. We've now expanded the circle to include our spouses. Some are interested, others not so much. Now that our children are young adults, between the ages of about 25 and 38, we're encouraging them and their spouses to participate in both individual and communal philanthropy. One, because it's part of who we are, giving back. Because our family was so fortunate. We're not so far off the boat. I remember hearing Thomas Friedman one time speak about the Earth is flat, and he was talking about the immigrant experience. What makes America great, I believe, is the immigrants that come here and continue to come here, because they don't take things for granted. They know what it's like living in other countries that are oppressive, or that hinder growth, or that don't value the other, the stranger. Despite all of our problems, I think still America is one of the greatest countries, not only in the world, but in the history of mankind. We're so fortunate to live here, and part of our legacy. We owe it to those that came before us, and we owe it to those that follow us to leave this place a little better than what we found it. I think that drives us, and I think as long as we don't lose that spirit, I think that whether it's in our immediate family, our greater Atlanta family or the family of man and women, that we'll do good things.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746#t=2442.0,2662.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746/transcript/91357/annotation/60","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eHALPERN:\u003c/strong\u003e With all of your experiences and connections, have you ever considered going into a political situation, a political office?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746#t=2662.0,2671.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/166956/file/303746/transcript/91357/annotation/61","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eAROGETI:\u003c/strong\u003e Well, when I worked for Elliott [H.] Levitas—Congressman [Elliott H.] Levitas, of blessed memory—I was involved in some very serious campaigns and campaigning, and that taught me that there are several ways to lead.

I will continue to work as long as I'm productive, but in life, somebody wants... I love baseball. I used to play when I was little, and I coached it when I was older. There was a famous baseball player for the New York Yankees who was drafted in in the war, and his career was cut short. He retired only after playing ten years of Major League Baseball. He retired at the top of his game. 20 years later, a new rookie phenom comes on board, plays for 24 years. Sadly, the last 2 or 3 years... Back in those days, they didn't earn a lot of money, so baseball players couldn't retire with a lot of wealth, like they do today. He ended up playing 2 or 3 years past his prime. He couldn't see very well, couldn't throw very well, couldn't run very well, couldn't bat very well, but he was an icon, and everyone loved him. But it was a little bit sad to see someone in their prime, continue past their prime. In life, you can either go out on top or you can linger around a little too long.

I think I'll conclude my remarks with something my father taught me, which was the three F's of life. Family, faith and friends. That was really his motto. He really kept it simple. I think sometimes in life we can overcomplicate things.

As dictator of Nazi Germany, he initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939 and was a central figure of the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler applied for entrance into the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria twice and was twice rejected, once in 1907 and again in 1908. For the next five years, Hitler struggled to earn money by selling small paintings, mostly images of buildings and other landmarks in Vienna that he copied from postcards. By 1914, Hitler was serving in World War I and would later enter politics. In his autobiographical manifesto, Mein Kampf, Hitler claimed that his antisemitic views formed during his time as a struggling artist in Vienna. His frustrated art career became part of the myth making—by Hitler himself and by his followers—that helped drive his fateful rise to power in Germany. Hitler was drafted for Austrian military service at the beginning of World War I but turned down due to lack of fitness. After moving to Germany, he enlisted as a German soldier in the summer of 1914 and was deployed to Belgium in October. Over the next two years, Hitler served first as an infantryman and then as a private. He won two decorations for bravery, including the Iron Cross First Class and was wounded twice. He was recovering from his second injury when the war ended. Hitler loved animals in general, but his favorite were dogs and especially German Shepherds.
