Advocating for Others for Three Decades Sheryl Arno was the first Co-Chairperson of Jewish Abilities Atlanta (JAA), a targeted philanthropy within Federation that supports individuals with disabilities and their families.

What is Generosity?

Welcome to the inaugural issue of Generosity Magazine. Generosity highlights the stories of people with a connection to Jewish Atlanta who work to make the world a better place—whether by donating their time, their treasure, their expertise, or their kindness.

Federation is the philanthropic first responder for Atlanta’s Jewish community; when a person, family, or group is in need, Federation’s network steps in to provide. Children, families, Holocaust survivors, people with disabilities, entrepreneurs, and young adults come to Federation for help. And for every person in our community who needs a hand, there are many more who are waiting to lend one. These are their stories.

CONTRIBUTORS Galen Crawley is a writer and artist from Snellville, Georgia. She has written for small businesses and large brands across the country. She is thrilled to bring her experience to the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta.

Nina Rubin is a freelance writer, based in Atlanta.

She is a storyteller and digital content creator who loves to share stories of generosity.

Letter from Federation President & CEO

ERIC M. ROBBINS It’s easy to be cynical. Cynicism isn’t complicated—all you have to do is poke holes, ask questions. You can do it from an arm’s length, without investing too much of yourself. When all else fails, roll your eyes and shrug your shoulders and walk away.

Being generous isn’t nearly as easy because generosity involves some optimism.

To help another person, you have to believe things can improve, that you can make a difference. Generosity might mean putting someone else’s needs before your desires, and that takes sacrifice.

In our first issue of Generosity, you’ll find stories of people who made hard choices: volunteering instead of vacationing, continuing a loved one’s legacy after her untimely passing and donating family keepsakes for posterity.

Jewish Atlanta is filled with people who make these kinds of choices everyday, and we are thrilled to share them with you in this new quarterly magazine. I hope you are as inspired by their stories as I am.

With thanks,

Morris marvels at the ingenuity of the doctors he has worked with in Gondar.

He says “Western doctors tend to rely on expensive machinery for things like cataract surgeries, because it’s what they’re trained on, and what they’re used to. The Ethiopian doctors can do it without expensive equipment, and sometimes even without needing stitches.”

Besides cataracts, Ethiopia is #1 in the world for trachoma. If left untreated, this infection leads to scarring of the eyelids and corneas, and eventually blindness. It is treated with a surgery called TT, which Morris specializes in.

He trains doctors in this surgery, as well as other advanced techniques.

A Gift of Memory and Scholarship

When Marc Lewyn’s father, Bert, passed away in 2016, and the family was observing shiva (the seven-day mourning period in Judaism), a friend asked

“I not only wanted my father’s and family papers to be at Emory, I wanted them to be accessible."

somewhat bluntly, “How do you plan to permanently memorialize your father?”

The question stopped Marc in his tracks, not only because it came at a time of high emotion, but because Marc literally had never given it a thought. “As a professional wealth manager, I have conversations like this all the time with my clients about how to use philanthropy to lift up their highest values. Now this same important question was directed at me.”

had led a remarkable life. Bert Lewyn’s redemptive story of survival during the Holocaust was foundational to Marc’s sense of self. The harrowing story was told in full when Marc’s wife Bev, a professional researcher, helped her father-in-law organize his writings and publish a memoir, On the Run in Nazi Berlin, in 2001.

Marc Lewyn knew that Rabbi Tobias Geffen kept a daily diary. “Some days the entries were quite mundane, but many were powerful, like the sermon he wrote on the night of Pearl Harbor!

i s s u e 1 / WIN T E R 2023

It was clear to Lewyn that his father

At 18, Bert Lewyn and his parents were taken by the Gestapo and separated. Lewyn was sent to work in the Gustav Genschow and Co. Weapons Factor y in Berlin. He later learned his parents died at a Polish concentration camp. Lewyn was enslaved at the factor y until 1943 when, after a tip from a nonJewish worker, he eluded a roundup of Jews and spent the next several years hiding at the homes of friends and strangers. In 1945, he was captured and imprisoned in the former Jewish Hospital in Berlin. He and a group of prisoners managed to escape through a tunnel they accessed with a key Bert made from debris found after a bombing. He returned to the apartment of friends and remained there for several weeks until Russian soldiers raided the apartment, signaling the end of the war.

Like a Forrest Gump of Jewish ATL, David’s diary was a rich chronicle of the American Jewish south. The Geffen family papers were already at Emory University. I began to see that my father’s life also had lessons for humanity. Donating my parents’ papers to Emory and amplifying David’s example seemed like a fitting memorial to them.”

When Marc Lewyn toured the archives at Emory, he saw stacks of boxes, but many donations were uncatalogued. “I not only wanted my father’s and family papers to be at Emory, I wanted them to be accessible. That led to digitizing these documents so they could be available with just a click. David and I also wanted to encourage scholars to

Bert Lewyn’s ultimate rescue came in 1949 when his Atlanta relatives, Rabbi Tobias and Sarah Geffen, sponsored his immigration to America. At the time, Rabbi Geffen was the spiritual leader of Congregation Shearith Israel, famous not only for his prominence in the Atlanta Jewish community, but also for his famous rabbinic ruling that certif ied Coca Cola as kosher. The Geffens helped Bert rebuild his life and introduced him to his wife Esther. Lewyn went on to launch a successful business in Atlanta, was generous to his Jewish community, and perhaps most signif icanty, had children of his own, making it possible for future generations of Lewyns to come into the world.

Advocating for Others for Three Decades

If you’re speaking with someone in Atlanta’s disability community and you mention Sheryl Arno, their face will light up.

Sheryl built her career working in Jewish organizations. While she is now the Executive Director of the Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta (DSAA), a secular group, she says that she still draws on the lessons she learned as part of the Jewish community. “The Jewish community is unique in their support for people with disabilities,” Sheryl says, “We are a model for other faith-based organizations.”
