What I do recall from that is three of the boys were raised, the oldest, Julian Hart, was 13 at the time of his father's death. He was too old to enter the orphanage, so he was sent to live with relatives in Arizona. He eventually returned and set up an insurance practice in New Orleans and lived in New Orleans. My understanding is it was a dormitory style orphanage, but yet they kept the family groupings together and so the three brothers were able to eat meals together. Now, my father entered when he was about six months old. I'm sure you're familiar with Isidore Newman Vocational School in New Orleans, which was created for the orphans of the Jewish home, which was down the block. They walked four blocks from the orphanage to Newman to attend school. My father and his brothers attended Newman through their graduation.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/170549/file/309439#t=233.0,338.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/170549/file/309439/transcript/94058/annotation/18","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eBERMAN:\u003c/strong\u003e Would they encourage them if they saw potential to go on to college?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/170549/file/309439#t=338.0,342.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/170549/file/309439/transcript/94058/annotation/19","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSANDLER:\u003c/strong\u003e Absolutely.

What I can say is, it was just sort of a natural progression. I was committed to the Jewish community. The challenge for us was, I came from a Classical Reform background in New Orleans, Louisiana, with Rabbi Julian Feibelman, who did not recognize the state of Israel until 1976. The reason I know that was, that was his very first trip to Israel with the congregation because my uncle and aunt, Julian and Mildred Hart, were on that trip and I got to participate in some of their activities. That was really his first acceptance of the State of Israel. I grew up not in a kosher home. Observing holidays, I would say in a cultural sense, though we always lit Shabbat candles, and had challah on Friday nights before we went off and did our football games or whatever the activities were. Then after meeting Neil, we melded our lives together and adopted. He actually grew up in a home that turned more observant Jewishly in terms of kashrut and everything after his own involvement in United Synagogue Youth and becoming a leader in the youth movement there. Probably the hardest, the hardest challenge was food, changing my food choices.

I joke, I say it's family some you want some you don't want but they're yours. I was made to feel very welcome. I could tell you the really cute story about how we came to Atlanta. When Neil started looking at different congregations, we really had a partnership in determining where did we want to live. When he was offered to come visit, he approached the leadership and said, \"I would like my wife to come as well.\" This was in the very early stages. They were like, \"No, we're just inviting you to come for an interview.\" Maybe he'd had his first or second interview and they knew they wanted to proceed. He said, \"This is a family decision.\" We had three children, and we wanted to make sure it was the right location to continue raising our family. They we're surprised, like, why do you want to bring your wife? Ultimately, they said, \"Okay.\" I remember while he was in his interviews, I was being shuttled around by several people to look around Atlanta. They drew the line when he said, \"I'd love for Susan to sit in on the actual interview.\" They said, \"No, I don't think so.\" But I think in the end, they realized it was a benefit that I came, because I think they realized that if I was sold on coming to Atlanta, it would be an easy move for us and for them to offer him the position and for us to move here.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/170549/file/309439#t=1543.0,1664.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/170549/file/309439/transcript/94058/annotation/66","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eBERMAN:\u003c/strong\u003e I know that AA, in the last, maybe not this decade, the decade before, had a membership problem with its losing members.

I can also see, we were fortunate to find a home within walking distance of AA, but any young family wanting to be close to the synagogue can't afford it and especially now they really can't. Yes, it was, I will say, there were the stories that AA was not warm and friendly. Many times, even when we moved here, people would say, \"We're sixth generation.\" We'd say, \"That's wonderful,\" okay, now let's move on. We're all members here. When Neil came in, they were going through transition and I think many of the leadership, I will say it, Neil probably will push it down, he was instrumental in changing the thinking of people in the community. I recall when he first came, he wanted to set up parlor meetings He wanted to meet with the different groups, the 20s, the 40s, the 60s, the different age groups and we went in a variety of people's homes, and they brought their cronies to talk to the rabbi. I'll never forget one of the meetings, he said, \"I'm interested in what you all have to say. What do you think of full Torah reading? What are some of the rituals that we've continued that you'd like to see changed or modified or modernized?\" The room was silent. Someone finally said, \"Rabbi, no one has ever asked us that. We were always informed what the traditions of the congregation were.\" Neil said, \"You are the members of the congregation, and we want to do what it is that you want to do and how you see the transition of this to a modern 21st century congregation.\" He was also very instrumental in pushing for warm and welcoming, warm and welcome.

It was working with mature adults, everything from coordinating their mahjong and bridge to trips, we took monthly trips, which was great because with the help of the membership, I'd say, \"Where do you want to go?\" I'd say, \"Where do I want to go?\" We went to every museum; we went to the outer reaches of Atlanta so I could learn the landscape of Georgia. Enjoyed doing that very much. Until, what the transition came, I actually went to a regional meeting of the Women's League for Conservative Judaism that was housed at AA. I went to Monday morning session, which was dealing with the sandwich generation. Here I was, my parents moved to Atlanta and I had children. Then I'm in the middle, rabbi's wife, professional, trying to keep it all working. One of the speakers was a geriatric social worker and the community liaison to Weinstein Hospice. As they talked about servicing the geriatric population and the population with illness, I thought, wow, that sounds really important and could be very rewarding. I went up after the session to talk to the liaison from Weinstein and also the geriatric social worker, because I think I always felt, I love doing the programming, but I always liked the one-on-one relationships that I developed with individuals, whether it was in a programming or helping them.

By sitting with the family and whether it's with the patient themselves who's able to share their story or their family and helping them to focus on their loved one in life rather than dying or in death, it becomes so rewarding and so just profoundly wonderful to learn about the person and what they've accomplished in their life. Do I take it home with me? Sure, there are times that you can't turn it off and you think about this person and what their family's going to. I think, I will say in the very beginning when you would do an admission, you would get to know that family and meet the person. We were very small at that point, never had more than 15 patients at one time. There was one other social worker, and we would like fight over, okay, who's going to get them? I would say, I want to continue to follow them. The real challenge was when the people were my congregants and my director said, \"Susan, you need to really draw the line there.\" There are many that I have had, and there are others that I said, it's okay, I don't need to know and let someone else take hold. I think for the most part, now 15 years into this, I have learned to separate out. But what I do enjoy, maybe, crazy to say, is going to the funerals, because I'd then like to hear the full picture of that person from their grandchildren, from their children about their life, and it's very rewarding.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/170549/file/309439#t=2141.0,2346.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/170549/file/309439/transcript/94058/annotation/78","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eBERMAN:\u003c/strong\u003e I have a friend who used the services, hospice came in from the Weinstein Center, and they offered to do an interview with her on tape.

What we sort of knew and confirmed more is Josephine Adolphus’ brother was a physician to Queen Victoria, serving in the West Indies. I don't know, we think the Queen, in terms of rewarding the family once he retired, gave him land in Jamaica, and they ended up in Jamaica. Then IT, Isaac Tobias, and Josephine ended up, in New Orleans, with a six month old son, and then they had four more children, one of which was my grandfather, H. Van Eaton Hart. They were in New Orleans during the Civil War, and I was just listening to, my father had interviewed my grandmother, Lillie Oppenheim, and one of her first cousins, Edwina Solomon, in the 1970's, I think I was still in high school. We had transferred it to CD, and I listening to it, hearing my grandmother talk about the family. During the Civil War, they lived on Julia Street, in a big family home in New Orleans, and Benjamin “Silver” Butler, a Union soldier general, used to rob the New Orleans community of silver spoons specifically, and they report that he robbed our family of everything. Isaac had a brother-in-law in Woodville, Mississippi, who then they had to leave New Orleans, they didn't have anything and moved them to Woodville where they went into the mercantile business and lived in Woodville, Mississippi.

Another aspect of this is, in 1958, Julian Hart, the oldest brother, went to Jamaica in 1958 with his wife, Mildred, and they opened up the phone book. There was a Hart, H-A-R-T, Department Store. He marched into the department store and asked to speak to Mr. Hart. I believe his name was Alan. He describes a 6-foot-2, 200-pound Englishman, who was the proprietor of the Hart Department Store. When my uncle started asking, once Mr. Hart realized they weren't there for money or asking for help or anything, they were just curious because we knew that our family had been in Jamaica. Then several years later, one of the other, the son, came to New Orleans and met all of the brothers, and I actually visited them in Jamaica years later because they had the connection. We haven't really maintained the connections with them. But that Hart family knew that they were Jewish originally but had since intermarried and were no longer Jewish. We know we are related; I don't know that we've figured out exactly how. I'm assuming that they came to New Orleans to come to the U.S. for a better life, to start businesses. IT ended up in Woodville. My grandmother, Lillian Oppenheim Hart, was born in Jefferson, Texas. What I did learn is my grandmother's parents were actually first cousins. A Farber and an Oppenheimer married and they went to Jefferson, Texas. Jefferson, Texas was a port, ship community and was very affluent and they had businesses there. When the railroad wanted to come through Jefferson, I forget which magnet it was, came to try to buy land and they said, we don't need the railroad, we have the port. Within five years Jefferson kind of died down and everything went north through the railroad. My grandmother went to visit in Woodville, Mississippi where there were other relatives and met my grandfather and tells the story of being at a picnic and Mr. Hart wanting to ride her with a horse and carriage back to where she was staying in the Woodville area in 1908. At the time she was 17 and he was 31 and she thought, I'm not sure this is appropriate. There were telephones, she says in the tape, \"Yes, we had telephones.\" I called my mother, and my mother knew of the Hart family and knew Van Hart and said, \"You're fine.\" He took her on a carriage ride, didn't get her home until midnight. She talks about the beautiful starry night it was, and that was in 1908 in like July. She spent two months in Woodville, Mississippi with family members there. He came; he must have visited in Jefferson and January 6 of 1909 they got engaged and married within that year. My grandfather, I have a picture on my phone of a letter he wrote, a letter, he was in snake skins, furs, cop . . . whatever, all sorts of, like a traveling salesman. My three other uncles were born in DeRidder, Louisiana, and my father was born in Beaumont, Texas. In DeRidder, the Ku Klux Klan became active and so they left DeRidder to go to Texas to avoid the Ku Klux Klan and then they were in Beaumont before they moved back to Jefferson after my grandfather passed away.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/170549/file/309439#t=2743.0,2995.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/170549/file/309439/transcript/94058/annotation/90","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eBERMAN:\u003c/strong\u003e A couple questions.
