They’re very different from today. There are very few Jewish merchants in town period, more or less, on Broad Street. But when I looked at all of these buildings in downtown, looking back in the 1800s and early 1900s, they didn't document like they do now. Now they document by piece of property. Back then, a piece of land was somewhere between this point and this point. It wasn't maybe a specific address. But when look back at all the land transfers back in 1800 and early1900s, 90 plus percent of them are Jewish, meaning all the commercial downtown probably was owned by Jewish merchants. Of course, that has changed over the years. I found that very interesting.

It really does. I mean, to think, my daughter was bat mitzvahed  two weeks ago. I helped her write her speech. I don't know that we're by any means the oldest Jewish family in Augusta, but we, in my opinion, are probably the only five-generation family. Some may have been here longer, but the kids have moved away. So certainly, meaning, the kids that I grew up with no longer live here. Though they may have been born here and raised here, but they've moved away. That generation will not perpetuate itself in Augusta. My children are the fifth generation in Augusta, from Levy to Daitch, to my great-grandfather, to my grandfather, to my father, to myself, to my children. I think we are, maybe there's another, but I believe we're the only family of five generations. That's terrible to me. I understand why people go to medical school and choose not to practice medicine or law here. This is not the cultural center of the world by any means. I go to the synagogue now, and I look around. Though the numbers may not have changed greatly, they may still, even today, because of the medical community, the hospitals here, SRS [Savannah River Site], and some of the major companies here, there are a lot of Jewish families in Augusta, but these Jewish families are first-generation families. I would say the majority of the Jewish population in Augusta today are first generation to Augusta. Their kids will not stay here. They will graduate from college and move on. Even the people I talk to say that when their children are gone and they retire, they won't be retiring here. Maybe that will change. It's very sad for me to walk in the synagogue. I look around. The Shapiros, the Levy’s, though Joseph Levy is still here, and his children are here. That could be probably a five-generation family. I can't even think of these kids as I look around. The Dolan’s. We talked about them earlier. As I look around, these families aren't here anymore. Their parents and grandparents have died, and the kids grew up with moved on. I look around the city. I can see lots of friends, but they're the new friends my age who have moved here to be part of the community. None of my old friends are here. Recently, the week before my daughter's bat mitzvah, I don't know if I should mention names. Dick Shapiro. The Shapiro family, an old Augusta family, and very well-respected family, got to be careful what I say, he came back to Augusta to have his son's bar mitzvah. It was a very small family affair. I wasn't invited. I mean, we haven't seen each other in 25 years. But being a member of the community and the fact that I go to services every Saturday night with my family, that didn't change, so we went to the service and we hugged and kissed each other. It was good to see each other, but he only came back to have the bar mitzvah. There's no other reason to come back. It's just very sad today.

My business. My wife is from New York. My wife travels without me every opportunity she gets. She's very cultural. She loves to travel all over the world to see a play, to see an exhibit. She'll get on the plane and fly to Washington, D.C. With my children to see a Holocaust exhibit or som e exhibit that's there. I could care less about those things. She's often . . . she wants to live in major cities like Seattle, Washington, New York. One of the things we've chosen to do every year, we started last year. We took an Alaskan cruise and we settled in Seattle for a few weeks and took an apartment. One of ways I've been able to appease her and not end up moving, is each summer our goal has been to travel to a different major city. She's in Cincinnati [Ohio] right now, to get a taste of what it would be like to live there and the culture. I hope to retire here, but I see in the next few years, my wife will want to buy an apartment or a condominium in a few other cities, too, so that she can travel and fulfill her need to be around the culture. Again, keep in mind I grew up here, and though I've traveled extensively with my wife, I am still definitely an Augusta boy. There's no question about that.

I think a couple of young guys, I mean, I'm fairly young. I'm 46, but I never had any other thoughts of doing anything else but trying to reopen those doors and be in business. I don't know what influence I might have had. I’m not going to take credit for any of that because I was in textile, but these buildings were empty and very cheap to buy. A couple of young guys, 25 years old, got an idea of opening up some pizza places and sandwich places. These guys made their own light fixtures. Made their tables from wood, and opened these restaurants up and started drawing young crowds from the medical college and the college here down. Other young people started seeing that. They said, “Hey, they can get a building for nothing downtown.” A few years ago, these young entrepreneurs started opening shops in downtown, and night clubs. I mean, at two [o’clock] in the morning these places are packed. You can't even get a parking place. I really feel, regardless of credit other people try to take, that these young entrepreneurs, which these guys are in their mid-30s now, really brought the interest back to downtown Augusta. Then businesses started coming back down. Law offices and other businesses. Now they eat in these restaurants. What's interesting is you'll rarely today see a nightclub or a restaurant open downtown which will close. Very rarely, which means it's a good thing to do. To me, what's real interesting, when I bought the building and, even though my father died in 1995, I actually closed the deal in 1998 from his estate, none of my brothers or sisters had any interest in this big 25,000 square foot warehouse, which cost a fortune to maintain. I think I paid $120,000 for it then. I recently turned an offer down for just under a million on the building. As a matter of fact, I bought property around my building now. I think they think that I had some insight that I definitely didn't have as to what was going to happen. I had no idea. But it doesn't matter because I wouldn't sell it. But yes, downtown has definitely made a turnaround. You just look at the development downtown and on the river, I think that in the next five or 10 years, downtown Augusta will be a vacation destination. I already have people who come to town and stay at the hotels, who read. I'm not trying to promote my book, but who've read about me in magazine articles and books because we make uniforms for the U.S. Open, the Masters, or Pinehurst [Resort]. Worldwide, we make uniforms. They read about me, and they specifically come to my building on Broad Street to see this old building and where it all started. You go, what does that have to do with anything? It shows that Augusta is becoming a destination for vacationers and business people.

Keep in mind, my grandmother, we were strictly kosher when I grew up. But yes, my mother made some mean fried chicken. My mother never worked. I'll tell you another fine memory. My mother never worked. Of course, she raised five children. Breakfast at my house, lunch at my house, and dinner at my house was always like Thanksgiving. My mother always put out this unbelievable amount of food. I didn't know any different. That's how I grew up. Today, we have two microwaves in our kitchen, two refrigerators, and one stove. That tells you something, right? Growing up in Augusta, my fondest memory is we lived up on the hill. In Augusta, I don't want to call it a country town, but I guess it was. I could get on my Sting-Ray bike with a banana seat when I was 10 years old, my son's age, and ride from up on the hill where my parents lived, it's all downhill to downtown. That's about five or six miles. I could ride on the side of the road in the street. If I had a flat tire or something, I wouldn't be there 60 seconds before one of my parents' friends or someone would recognize me and stop to help me or put my bike in the car. We'd ride downtown, me and other kids, Jewish kids, non-Jewish kids, we'd go to the movies. At the end of the day on a Saturday, we would go over to my father's store, and he'd give us all jobs cleaning windows and polishing the tile, which is still in the front of the building, polishing the knobs on the safe, cleaning fluorescent bulbs. At the end the day, we'd all load our Sting-Rays in the back of this old Pontiac station wagon, and my father would take us home. The interesting thing about that is, I live in a decent neighborhood on a private street. My son is 10. I just barely even let him ride a bike in our neighborhood. I could leave, as a child, on a Saturday morning at 8 o'clock on my bike, and my parents . . . we didn't have cell phones or anything. My parents didn't even know where I was until sundown that night at dinner. They knew I was safe. You know what, if I wasn’t and if I fell on my bike or something, within 10 minutes, somebody had already called my parents on a phone to tell them we've got your son over at the hospital. We're putting stitches in him. A fond memory, of course. I remember . . . I'm sure my children's memories will be different, but it was different. I had a lot more freedom as a child growing up. I have so many great memories as a child. My dad always said . . . I'm certainly not a big fish by any means. My dad said “It's better to be a big fish in a little pond than a little fish in a big pond.” Again, one of the reasons I've chosen to stay in Augusta is people in town know my family. We're not big fish, but they know my family, the heritage. I feel comfortable walking into a restaurant or a business or a bank because if they don't know me, they knew my father.

I won't mention any last names. They're both 10. About a year ago, they were sitting in our kitchen granite counter having lunch. The little boy looked at my son. He says,”Bradley, what did you get for Christmas?” My son said, “We don't celebrate Christmas. We celebrate Hanukkah.” These are two best friends. He says, “What does that mean?” Bradley goes, “We're Jewish.” Just as quick, the little boy said, “You're Jewish?” “Yes.” He goes, ”Y'all are bad.” My son says, “What makes you say that?” He says, “Y'all killed Christ.” They're just having a matter-of-fact conversation, just two little boys. My son said, “Where did you hear something stupid like that?” He says, “My dad. He says all Jews are bad.” My wife and I are just sitting there looking at each other. Guess what? My son wasn't invited over to play for several months. Then over time, they worked it out. Now, my son eats on the weekends most of his meals over there. They're a very large Christian family. She said to me the other day, she said, “Your son is so sweet.” She goes, “Can I adopt him?” She says, “He is such a good influence on my son.” What's interesting is a lot of people have a perception of what they think Jewish people are like. They don't really know.

The earliest information on the Jewish community there is found in a document from 1511 in which King Sigismund I, among others, ratified its privileges. In the 1563 census, the names of 23 Jews are mentioned as holding 25 houses, as well as 20 orchards and vegetable gardens and a synagogue. In 1589, when Kobryn received rights of a town, the Jews were accorded equal rights with the other inhabitants. In 1648-49, some Jews suffered from the Cossacks, and a number of Jews from Ukraine took refuge in Kobryn. In the first half of the 18th Century, due to war with the Swedes, plagues, and fires, the city became impoverished. Most of the local Jews during this period were engaged in peddling and various crafts, while a wealthy minority continued to trade in salt, cereals, and timber.\u003c/p\u003e","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/154848/file/283996#t=62.0,96.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/154848/file/283996/annotation_set/1961/annotation/154","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cp\u003eA siddur is a Jewish prayer book, containing a set order of daily prayers.\u003c/p\u003e","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/154848/file/283996#t=114.0,167.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/154848/file/283996/annotation_set/1961/annotation/155","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cp\u003eYiddish is the common historical language of Ashkenazi Jews from Central and Eastern Europe.
