The skyline of downtown Atlanta.

Capital Of Georgia
Has Much Appeal

RUTH ROVNER

Special to The Jewish News

W

hen visitors first
come to The Thmple,
Atlanta's historic
synagogue, they invariably
ask questions about one event
in its very recent history.
They want to know the
details about how the
synagogue was featured in an
Academy Award film. "People
always ask about Driving
Miss Daisy says Diane
Ratowsky, secretary to Rabbi
Alvin Sugarman.
The curiosity is understand-
able. After all, not many
synagogues are part of a
Hollywood film. But in Driv-
ing Miss Daisy, set in Atlan-
ta, the fictional main
character belongs to The rIbm-
ple, and a synagogue scene is
part of the film.
A landmark synagogue
with a Hollywood mystique is
just one of the attractions of
Georgia's cosmopolitan
capital. With a population of
2.5 million, Atlanta is hard-
ly a sleepy southern town. It's
the combination of moderni-
ty and Old South flavor that
makes the city so intriguing.
Besides its overall am-
biance, it has some special at-
tractions for Jewish travelers,
including distinctive syna-
gogues, a culture center and
a deli serving kosher dishes,
Southern style.
The Temple is a natural
starting point for a tour of
Jewish Atlanta — and natur-
ally enough, visitors first
want to know about the
Hollywood connection. "They
came and filmed for 14 hours
— and the scene ended up be-
ing two and a half minutes in
the film," says Ms. Ratowsky,
who was on hand when the
film crew was there, but
stayed behind the scenes.
However, Rabbi Sugarman is
actually in the brief scene.

The film also includes a
scene in which Miss Daisy
learns that a bomb has been
dropped on her synagogue;
and it was based on an actual
event in the 1940s, says Ms.
Ratowsky.
But the bomb is just one
episode in the synagogue's
history. The distinctive
building at 1589 Peachtree
Road, N.W., with its Greek
columns and classic design, is
a national historic landmark.
This year, its congregation is
celebrating its 125th
anniversary.
Inside, the sanctuary has a
domed ceiling, ornate gold-
leaf ark, colonial style pews
for 1,100 people, an antique
chandelier, and arched
windows.
The Jewish Community
Center is a short walk away
at 1745 Peachtree Road, N.E.
Especially of interest to
visitors is the Zachor Holo-
caust Resource Center.

Visitors enter the exhibit
through a wooden door
resembling a railroad trans-
port cat Inside, the exhibit
focuses on the Holocaust from
the perspective of Atlanta
survivors.
"We tried to highlight dif-
ferent families of survivors,"
says Judi Ayal, who oversees
the exhibit. Visitors include
tourists and quite often
school groups, including
many non-Jewish children
from rural Georgia.
"And people are very touch-
ed by the exhibit," says Ms.
Ayal. "In a small space it
covers the important lessons
of the Holocaust."
It covers the lessons by
means of concrete and often
dramatic objects. There is, for
instance, a doll in a red dress
brought here from Poland
which survived the Holocaust
even though its owner — and
everyone in her immediate
family — perished.
