»s Family Circle Gathers
-for Atlanta Yartzeit, Reunion
^ ROSENBERG
Du* mot together In
the Jacob* family did,
the time came to tally
present there were 79
deeOMtdante - of Aonhun mm*
Rose Jacob*, pioaeer Atlantans.
These, of course, are not all
the descendants. Many could not
borne for one reason or another.
As for example the William
Lubela of Montgomery. Ordi
narily the Lubels always make
it the Jacobs reunion with their
two fine sons, now twelve and
But this time, Helen was in
the. family way and William
sent word be expected momen
tarily to have to take her to the
hospital. His premonition, or
that of the doctor’s, or who
ever^, was extremely accurate.
; Precisely at 12:30 p.m., as the
reunion group gathered at the
Mayfair Club. Jo* banquaf
highlight, William had to rush
bis wife to the hospital. And at
9:30 p.m., she added another
member to the Jacobs descend
ants, a baby girl. This impend
ing event had been an interest
ing bit of intra-family conver
sation at the Atlanta gatherings,
whoee objectives are the Yart-
reits of Abraham Jacobs, who
dfad in 1937, and his wife who
in 1934.
Twice annually, the family of
'tBeir three sons and three
iters have gathered for
t,'usually with their chil-
and grandchildren. This
time they came from as far
«W«y as California and as far
sooth jM'lDinni. as far north as
Hew York.
And wide and varied too are
the careers represented by the
various members of this enter
prising and expanding family
circle, many of them occupying
high positions in their fields of
business, industry and the pro
fessions and in this area of organ
izational leadership.
Edward Jacobs, retired Chatta
nooga- industrialist, had come
from Hew York with his wife
Rose, the distinguished matriar
chal looking former .president
(1932-1937) of national Hadas-
sah. They have just returned
from a trip to Israel, Rose’s
nineteenth.
Their daughter Ruth, had
come from San Jose, Calif.,
where she has created a notable
career as jt . doctor specializing
in clinical psychology.
"With her was her husband,
Wolfgang Levy, a general
practitioner. There are three
children and Ruth has lately
added laurels in her profession
by authoring articles in her
specialty.
' ' Another topic for family en
joyment was the recent elec
tion of Billy Lubel as president
of Ahavas Chesed Synagogue in
Mobile. Billy is the oldest grand
son on the Lubel side of the
JpCPh family and the Ahavas
Chesed is the congregation
which his grandfather Harris
Lubel founded.
Harris is the husband of the
ifanper Annie Jacobs, daughter
of the original couple. Both of
them were in Atlanta as were
the Rubin Lubels. Billy’s par-
feftts.
—Harris, a sometimes-can tor be
cause of his fine voice, is the
oq* who leads the family in the
mWBoria] prayer when members
gather at Oakland Cemetery for
the Yartzeits. Harris has on sev
eral occasions served as cantor
during special High Holy Days
i held at the old Ahavath
Ac him Educational Center on
Tenth Street
There was word too during
the reunion of four other new
additions since last the family
gathered—and no deaths.
On the other side of the ledger
was the sadness caused by the
absence because of illness of
the hostess to the Sunday din
ner, Mrs. Lena Jacobs. She and
her husband, J. B. Jacobs, ex
ecutive vice president of Nation
al Linen, have always been hosts
for the dinner. She was con
fined to the hospital, but the
family found cheer in news of
her reports of improvement.
Naturally most of the talk
centered around the original
couple, whose lives were en
dearingly recalled by children,
grandchildren or great grand
children who remember them
i». person or through thw" won
derful family associations which
have developed by later genera
tions.
Mr. Jacobs, during days when
the going was not »o easy, had
tried to earn a living as a
groceryman, general clothing
store operator and for his last
fifteen years as a Hebrew teach
er in the community. He was
one of the founders of Ahavath
Achim Congregation.
His children have achieved
leadership in many aspects of
Judaism, besides their successes
in business. Hyman, the eldest
son, has been outstanding in
B’nai B’rith locally, regionally
and nationally, as well as sojne-
one once said “in every worth
while Jewish cause.’’
Hymie, his wife Sadie and
their children, the Leonard
Bagens were hosts Saturday eve
ning at a supper and open house
at the Bagen home. The family
also gathered at the Max Cleins
on Clairmont Road for a barbe
cue during the weekend.
The visitors had begun to
arrive on Thursday ana that
evening many gathered in Syna
gogues for Yartzeit. On Friday
morning services had been held
at the cemetery.
All of the children themselves
were present for the Yartzeit
and the various reunion func
tions. Besides Hymie and his
wife, Edward and his wife,
Joseph, there were Mrs. Rebecca
Clein and her husband William
of Miami; Mrs. Minnie Kessler
of Atlanta and Mr. and Mrs.
Harris Lubel. Mr. Clein who is
95 was the oldest member of
the family present
For the first time in the years
since the reunions have been
held, the family decided to
formalize the circle with an
(organization. J. B. Jacobs was
'elected president. Mrs. Hilda
Schwartzberg, of Miami, who
loves to write letters and keep
in touch with as many of the
family as she can manage,
naturally was elected corres
ponding secretary.
Among the other out-of-town
guests present were: Dr. Benja
min Coleman, Mr. and Mrs. B.
