One of a kind. Iron ically. this is how Herbert and Syl via Broder’s custom tailoring busi ness “Herbert’s Originals” got its name. It’s no coincidence that this is also how 1 would describe the since-retired husband and wife team. While they dedicate their time to volunteer work, both Herbert and Sylvia* share their love for each other, combining efforts while helping others. L’Chaim is proud to share the Broders’ story, for they represent the kind of caring that exemplifies what this column stands for. Herbert and Sylvia’s volunteer work began in spare moments they had while running their store. Re tired since 1981, they are delighted to have the time to pursue their volunteerism. Herbert proudly claims, “When 1 first got started 1 was a B’nai B’rith woman.” That’s because Herbert began singing at the Jewish Home as part of the shows that B’nai B’rith women put on in the early ’70s. Since then and regularly for the past five years, every Thursday Herbert and Syl via continue to entertain residents at the Home. Herbert sings and Sylvia dances with the residents. I was fortunate enough to witness one of their sessions. The piano player tapped out the song “When You're Smiling, The Whole World Smiles With You.” As Herbert sang, there was a look in his eyes that was full of hope and love. Syl via, swaying to the music, was beaming as she held one woman’s hands who hummed along with the melody. Another woman shuffled her feet as she clapped her hands. No resident went untouched or unnoticed by this musical duo. While gazing upon the energy, love and beauty that the Broders brought during those moments, my eyes filled with tears. 1 was extremely touched by the amount of affection that Herbert and Sylvia were giv ing and how appreciated they were. Herbert explained that he came by his singing and tailoring natu rally. His great-grandfather was the chief rabbi in a small town in Russia and one grandfather was a rabbi and the other was a shamas. His father sang and Herbert also followed in his footsteps as he was a third-generation tailor. In fact, while living in New York prior to moving to Atlanta in 1968, Her bert and his teenage son sang to gether in the Hebrew Choir which was a commercial choir that tra veled across the country. One additional ingredient that contributes to this month’s featured couple is the love they project as a team. When 1 asked some of the things they share in common, they answered in unison, “Everything.” Herbert smiled as he told me the classic story of a husband and wife who were very poor and wanted to get each other a gift. The wife’s only possession was her beautiful long hair and the husband’s was his gold pocket watch. The wife sold her hair to buy a chain for his watch and the husband sold his watch to buy a comb for her hair. “So you see,” Herbert commented, “this is like Sylvia and me...she looks out for me and I look out for her.” In addition to their singing. Herbert also counsels patients who have had heart attacks. Herbert, who has had two, said, “This was a very difficult time; however, Sylvia suffered more than 1 did.” Herbert belongs to the AJCC and exercises three times a week at the Cardiac Rehabilitation Class. 1 asked them how they met and you would have thought it was yes terday as they told me the details of their meeting. New York was the setting and two of their mutual friends were dating. They all went over to listen to some records. The song that played (to be exact) was “Was He Attractive?” Obviously he was and so was she—it was love at first sight. In fact, the Broders celebrate two anniversaries. March 3, 1941, when they met, and July 3. when they married 43 years ago. That’s over 80 anniversaries and they seem to cherish each one.
