Gerald Cohen to receive
ADL’s Abe Goldstein Award
The Anti-Defamation League
will hold its National Executive
Committee meeting in Atlanta,
from Oct. 29 through Nov. 2. A
major event of the ADL-NEC
meeting will be the presentation to
Atlanta leader Gerald Cohen of
the ADL’s Abe Goldstein Human
Relations Award.
Cohen, a life-long leader in the
Jewish and general community, a
member of the ADL Southeast
Region’s executive committee, and
immediate past president of the
Atlanta Jewish Federation, will be
honored at a banquet Thursday,
Oct. 30. The prestigious award is
presented annually to an individ
ual for outstanding contributions
to the welfare of the community.
All activities of the NEC meeting
will take place at the Hyatt Regency
Hotel on Peachtree.
The founder of Central Metals
Company, Cohen is active in local
and national synagogue affairs, is a
past president of Ahavath Achim
Synagogue, served on the advisory
board of United Synagogue of A-
merica and on the board of over
seers of the Jewish Theological
Seminary. In 1980 B’nai B’rith pre
sented him with its Distinguished
Service Award. He has been looked
to for leadership by Atlanta Men’s
Gerald Cohen
ORT, the Jewish Home, Epstein
School, the American Jewish Com
mittee, and the National Jewish
Community Relations Advisory
Committee.
Leon C. Goldstein, president of
Prior Tire Company, is dinner
chairman. Burton M. Gold, chair
man and chief executive officer of
Stratton Industries, will be Jour
nal chairman. Both men have a
long association with ADL; Gold
stein as a member of the regional
board executive committee, and
Gold as chairman of the commit
tee. The ADLspokesmen indicated
their pleasure in working to assure
the success of the honor to be
extended to Cohen. They stated,
“Gerald Cohen’s name is identified
with the highest humanitarian and
ethical concepts of Judaism. His
life has been devoted to translating
these abstract ideals into concrete
programs, locally and nationally.
He is committed to the welfare of
his fellow man, exemplifying the
most respected standards of leader
ship.”
Joining Atlantans who tradition
ally attend this function will be
ADL leaders from throughout the
nation who will gather to debate
and discuss crucial issues of the
day and set policy for future League
programming. Last year’s NEC
meeting was in Boston where over
1,000 civic and community leaders
attended.
The ADL Human Relations
Award was established in 1966 and
named for the late Abe Goldstein,
who was deeply devoted to ADL’s
goals and programs.
Reservations can be made by
calling the ADL office, 262-3470.
Schatten exhibit features photos
of The Holy Land Then and Now’
A photographic exhibit titled
“ I he Holy Land Then and Now” is
on display through Oct. 20 in
Schatten Gallery, located in the
Robert W. Woodruff Library at
Emory University.
The exhibit pairs 19th century
photographs of Middle Eastern
sites with images of the sites as they
appear today taken by Daniel Tas
sel. Organized by the Harvard
Semitic Museum, the early pictures
are from its collection of more than
18,000 photographs, stereoscopic
views and slides of the Near East
from the second half of the 19th
century.
Photographers traveled to the
Holy Land soon after the devel
opment of the photographic pro
cess in 1839. Numerous pictures
were taken in those early years,
even though the procedure required
fragile and cumbersome equipment.
Glass plates were coated with col
lodion, dipped in silver nitrate,
exposed to light while still wet and
processed immediately in a dark
room (often a tent) on location.
Most of the photos in the Harvard
collection were produced in that
way.
The “Then” pictures were taken
by Francis Frith, James McDo-
