Love, affection, admiration
highlight Eisenberg tribute
by Vida Goldgar
Mickie Eisenberg got what she
deserved Sunday night.
What that was, was more than a
tribute for her 30 years of devoted
service to the Hebrew Academy, at
whose annual dinner she was honored.
It was an outpouring of love and
affection from friends and family
for a woman who has had a role in
almost everything good which has
happened to this Jewish community.
Whether it was Gerald Cohen,
president of the Atlanta Jewish
Federation, praising Mickie’s role
in helping Atlanta Jewry become
the dynamic community it is today,
or Terri Bagen, Academy P I A co
president, paying tribute to “Aunt
Mickie” as an inspiration to the
younger generation, the message
was clear.
Mickie’s role in the community
was made even more apparent by
the delightful presentation, “The
Living Menorah,” by Hebrew
Academy students and graduates,
directed by Rose Kessler of Theatrical
Outfit. With the honoree directed
to a seat immediately in front of
the stage graced by a large menorah,
the students proceeded to light the

candles, each representing a facet
of Mickie’s life and each lighting
accompanied by an appropriate
song.
The first candle represented
Mickie’s help to refugees settling in
Atlanta after the Holocaust. The
second, which brought her son,
Avner the Eccentric, to the stage,
was for her responsibility to her
family; third was her lifetime of
philanthropic work in many organi
zations and her involvement—along
with her late husband David—in
the early days of the Hebrew
Academy. Candle four was accom
panied by singing of “Bi Mir Bis
Schoen,” representing the birth of
the Eisenbergs’ daughter after four
boys while No. 5 was “Thank You
for being a friend." Candle six
represented thanks from Dr. Ephriam
Frankel and the Hebrew Academy
board; seven was a message of
Hanuka, and the finale was a reprise
of the opening special words to
“Hallelujah.”
No more fitting person could
have been chosen to make a special
presentation to the honoree than
Dr. Regina Gabler. Not only were
Dr. Gabler and her husband Dr.
Irving Greenberg the honorees of
the Academy’s first dinner of honor
but she delivered all of her sister-
in-law’s babies. Dr. Gabler spoke
of watching“Mickie blossom from
high school student to college
graduate to wife and mother.” She
got a chuckle from the audience
when she referred to M ickie’s ability
to do "intricate needlework while
never missing a word of a discussion
at board meetings.” In presenting
the specially commissioned menorah
designed and executed by Natalie
Longley, Dr. Gabler said, “Whatever
Mickie has done, she has done well
and has persevered till she reached
her goal.”
Acknowledging her emotional
nature with good humor, Mickie
pulled out a huge “crying towel”
before she made brief acceptance
remarks, with special thanks to her
brothers and sisters for their “constant
support and encouragement;” to
her colleagues at Harrison Travel
Agency; and especially to her children.
There was—in proud mother fashion
—a plug urging the audience to see
the current movie, “Jewel of the
Nile,” which features son Avner.
Referringto the Academy as “another
one of my children that I helped
nurture and sustain,” she said, “We
are on the threshhold of an exciting
time.”
Dr. Jerry Blumenthal, Academy
president, and Gerald Cohen had
each alluded to that “exciting time”
with reference to plans to relocate
the Academy to a more central
location with a campus setting. Dr.
Ephraim Frankel, headmaster, and
Consul General Issachar Katzir
addressed the significance ot the
celebration taking place during
Hanuka, likening lightingthecandles
of freedom to lighting the candles
of learning.
Essentially, the evening was like
a large family Hanuka party only
Mickie didn’t have to cook latkes.
All she had to do was shep naches,
every bit of it deserved.
