THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE, June 27, 1975 — PAGE
Goldberg—
uniform who came to Atlanta on
so many occasions.
Dances, swims, home hospitali
ty, Seders, movies, concert passes
— whatever, Abe Goldberg was an
ever-source for fullflljment in
behalf of the soldiers.
After hostilities ceased, his
energies remained at the beck'and
call of veterans, particularly at the
Veterans Hospital in Atlanta.
Here he visited regularly,
sometimes alone and sometimes
with groups. Particularly during
Christmas time, he paid visits to
bring cheer to non-Jewish
veterans.
He created an indigenous
"Heart Fund,” and was often the
largest contributor though many of
his friends also participated
anonymously. This effort made
funds available for merited in-

dividuals, families or causes on an
emergency basis — without fan
fare, without the kind of humilia
tion which often attends charity
and philanthropy.
One of the other traditions he
created was a family-type party for
children of relatives and friends.
Usually this took place around
Hanuka and of course there was
always Hanuka gelt and ap
propriate refreshments from “Un
cle Abe.”
Gray ladies at hospitals, atten
dants at Cancer homes, nurses at
St. Joseph Hospital and Grady
Hospital also received special en
couragement from him — in a
great variety of ways.
He had at Grady Hospital es
tablished an annual award of $100
for a member of the senior
graduating nurses class. In addi
tion he had created a student loan
fund to help worthy students com
plete nursing education. This fund
is self-perpetuating and is made
available as loans are repaid.
The Red Cross too held a
favorite place in his seeming
ly inexhaustable source of
volunteer time. He was active in
several of its programs for at
least thirty years.
For the last few years, he was
supposedly in a state of semi-
retirement, due to his age. The
condition is qualified because what
is retirement to most people wasn’t
that at all for Abe Goldberg. Sure,
he cut down on the amount of time
devoted to business. But having
more so-called. Jeisure time, he
seemingly accelerated his efforts in
volunteerism.
Actually, he probably could
have lived very well without doing
any work at all, but the extra
funds which came in could be
channelled into the needs of the
worthy causes he championed,
what with mounting inflation and
new arenas which cost money to
achieve.
Though he made no pretense at
having such funds as some noted
Atlanta philanthropists, he
possessed time and a jovial bolster
ing quality which made up for
what he may not have had in finan
cial substance. What was said of
others now goes the round about
Abe Goldberg, namely “No one
will ever know everything he did
for other people.”
He kept no ledger of accounts
on this score. The talk is that he
helped several young people get a
college education — and not par
ticularly relatives. It. is. likely true.
Rabbi Harry Epstein in the
eulogy at the funeral Sunday
declared, “Some men are said to
be worth their weight in gold.”
Abe Goldberg was worth his
weight in ‘hearts’.”
And since he was^usually
overweight, Abe Goldberg made

room for more than the usual
dimension of service and generosi
ty which Rabbi Epstein’s phrase
indicated.
The funeral was held June 22 at
the Ahavath Achim Sanctuary, an
honor usually given to past
presidents and Synagogue func
tionaries.
Abe Goldberg had been on the
board of his congregation for years
and participated with zeal in so
many of its varied programs. He is
perhaps best known as the “chief
usher,” for he was present literally
at every Friday evening and Satur
day morning service since the new
facilities opened on Peachtree Bat
tle Avenue.
His special touch was a “good
Shabbas kiss” for every woman
who came through the middle
door.
Rabbi Epstein and Cantor Isaac
Goodfricnd conducted the funeral.
Interment was in Greenwood
Cemetery.
Irving Edison, of St. Louis, a
close friend since the two were
teen-agers and formerly president
of the National Jewish Welfare
Board, came to Atlanta for the

Mrs. Lizzie Shienbaum, Mrs.
Bessie Margolin, both of Atlanta,
and Mrs. Rose Smullyan of New
York, and several nieces and
nephews.
