issues these kids have to confront
every day.
Rabbi Greenbaum believes there is
more lack of knowledge than any-
thing else. He has never experienced
anti-Semitic behavior since his
arrival. "The fact that this is a reli-
gious community gives Judaism a cer-
tain level of respect it
might not have in a more
secular environment," he
says.
Despite Augusta's
small stature, the two
rabbis have a major
impact on their congre-
gations and the sur-
rounding communities.
•
In Augusta, you are a
lot more than just the
rabbi for your congrega-
tion," says Rabbi
Greenbaum. "You are the
spokesperson for the
entire community."
"For example, when
Yitzhak Rabin was assassi-
nated," says Rabbi Parr,
"ministers from around
the city called to pray for us. They
helped set up a memorial service that
drew coverage from all the local news-
papers and television stations. You
don't get that kind of response in a
big city because there are just too
many synagogues competing for
attention."
"Jordan is absolutely wonderful
about interacting with the communi-
ty and educating others about Jewish
traditions," says Cynthia Parr.
In addition to bringing in outside
speakers, Rabbi Parr started pro-
grams like Tot Shabbat, a special ser-
vice for children that takes place
every few months, and Mitzvah Day,
a partnership between Rabbi Parr's
congregation and a local church
designed to help community organi-
zations in need.
"Rabbi Parr worked on Mitzvah
Day for about a year," says Jackie
Wetherhorn, a member of the
Children of Israel congregation. "He
was able to bring together over 200
people, from all walks of life, for a
day designed to help three communi-
ty organizations in inner-city
Augusta. They did electrical work for
one organization and they used dif-
ferent parts to build bicycles for a
children's group.
"At the end of the day the group,
which consisted of members of the
Jewish community and members of
the Church of Our Savior, met at the
temple for a pizza party and a prayer

service. It was amazing."
Rabbi Greenbaum has been instru-
mental in bringing a family-style ser-
vice to his congregation. He and his
wife, Rabbi Amy Greenbaum, have
two sons, Justin, 2, and Harrison, 5
months.
"Every Saturday night, Rabbi

Greenbaum has young people come
to the Shalosh Seudos service," says
Adas Yeshurum Synagogue member
Anne Schneider. "He's been able to
draw some pretty big crowds, which is
nice for the community."
Rabbi Greenbaum credits Rabbi
David Nelson of Oak Park's
Congregation Beth Shalom for the
idea. "If a family-style service works
in Detroit, than why not in
Augusta?"
The well being of their own fami-
ly is very important to the
Greenbaums, the first couple to be
ordained together at the Jewish
Theological Seminary in New York
City. They were ordained in 1997,
six years after they met during the
first week of class.
"As a rabbinic couple, it's very chal-
lenging trying to find a balance
between giving your lives to your
work and giving your lives to your
family," says Amy, who is a bereave-
ment coordinator in the chaplains
department at the Medical College of
Georgia.
"We're working toward achieving
that delicate balance. We're not there
yet, but we're getting closer."
While Rabbi Parr and his family
seem content to remain in Augusta,
Rabbi Greenbaum would eventually
like to return to Detroit.
"That's my dream," he says.
"Detroit will always be my Jewish
home." ri
