Silver Tea
Ahavath Achim Sisterhood
will hold its annual Silver
Tea at 1 p. m., Monday, Nov.
2, in Srochi Auditorium.
The program will be en
titled “Off Broadway,” a
medley of the Gay 20’s. It
will feature music by Mimi
Alperin, singing by Estelle
Karp, dancing by Sandy
Friedman, with Stanley Yer-
low as accompanist.
New members will be hon
ored.
Baby sitting service is
available and can be ar

Cohen, 237-5444.
Those lyrics—“Shalom, sha-
lom, the nicest word we
know . . . ”—will have special
meaning to over 300 Jewish fam
ilies who will move to Atlanta
within the next year.
They will be welcomed
through a new program, “Sha
lom Atlanta,” launched by the
Atlanta Jewish Welfare Federa
tion.
Federation Director Mike Get-
tinger and Federation President
Abe Goldstein recently stated
the purpose of Shalom Atlan
ta. “For years, Atlanta has
seen a need go unheeded, name
ly welcoming newcomers and
giving them a chance to meet
others.”
In order to meet this need, a
special committee comprised of
volunteer leaders from various
congregations and organizations
was formed.
To carry out the Federation’s
goal, “Shalom Atlanta” will con
tact each new Jewish family in
Atlanta’s Congregation Or
VeShalom, founded in 1913, will
conduct ground breaking cere
monies on Sunday, Nov. 1, at
its new site on North Druid Hills
Road, across from Cross Keys
High School, at 10:30 o’clock in
the morning.
The ceremonies will include
addresses by Atlanta’s Mayor
Samuel A. Massell and DeKalb
County Commissioner Chairman
Clark Harrison, and by Rabbis
Robert Ichay and Joseph Cohen.
Officers of the Congregation, in
cluding Asher Benator, presi
dent, and Albert Maslia, build
ing fund chairman, will extend
greetings to those in attendance.
“This event represents the cul-
mination of a decades-old
dream,” stated Mr. Maslia. “Not
since the original building on
Central Avenue, built in 1913,
have we known the joy and
pride of constructing a new
building exactly suited to our
needs and demands.”
Established by Sephardic Jews
who had imigrated to this coun
try from the Eastern Mediter
ranean, principally Turkey and
the Isle of Rhodes, the Syna
gogue boasts a membership of
175 families, which membership
now includes both Sephardic and
Ashkenzai emmbers. Under the
energetic and dynamic leader
ship of Rabbi Ichay, who before
arriving had lead a Sephardic
Congregation in Salisbury, Rho
desia, the Congregation now an
ticipates increasing its roster to
300 families afer the new facili
ties are completed.
Congregation Or VeShalom
has increasingly provided spirit
ual, cultural and educational
Atlanta shortly after their ar
rival. Three open houses have
been planned for the coming
year to bring newcomers face to
face with others for a social eve
ning. Also planned is a brochure
to be mailed to each new family
describing the Jewish life in At
lanta: houses of worship, Jew
ish educational facilities and
their locations, Jewish social
agencies and the scope of their
work and organizational life in
the city will also be described.
Thus, the true meaning of the
Hebiew word “Shalom” will be
demonstrated.
Mrs. Perry Brickman,, chair
man of “Shalom Atlanta,” invites
all newcomers to the first Open
House on Sunday, Nov. 1, at 8:00
p.m. at the new Atlanta Federa
tion Building, 1753 Peachtree
Rd., NE.
For reservations or further in
formation, please call the Feder
ation office and ask for “Shalom
Atlanta”, 873-1663.
services to its very active mem
bership. Included among its ac
tivities are Sunday School and
Hebrew School classes. The new
facility will significantly in
crease the Synagogue's capacity
for providing these and many
additional services.
Other officers of the building
fund are James Arogeti, chair
man, finance; Victor D. Maslia,
chairman, architectural; and
Morris Piha, chairman, fund
raising.
The Congregation presently
occupies a building on Highland
Avenue and Lanier Place, which
was purchased and remodeled in
1948.
The entire Atlanta Jewish
Community is invited to attend,
and will be most welcome, the
Or VeShalom committee has an
nounced.
