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 33 A.P.Y. A.P.Y.

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 Despite Augusta's small stature, the two rabbis have a • major impact on their congregations and the surrounding communities. 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 N
