LEO FRANK WAS INNOCENT 

Leo Frank was innocent. 

A message from 

Rabbi Steven Lebow 

Those four words have eluded polite conversation in Atlanta for 95 

years. Frank, the superintendent of the National Pencil Factory, was 

accused of murdering Mary Phagan, a thirteen-year-old employee, in 

1913. Phagan took the trolley down to midtown Atlanta on Confederate 

Memorial Day to collect her paycheck. She was never heard from again. 

Her lifeless body was found at the bottom of an elevator shaft in the 

factory. The last man to admit seeing her alive was Leo Frank, the 

superintendent who hailed from Brooklyn, New York. 

At first the police arrested a half dozen men whom they thought had 

committed the crime. Lacking any evidence, they released all of the 

accused. Without a suspect they turned their gaze on Frank. The Jewish 

New Yorker was a suspicious outsider to those who were used to a 

homogenous South. 

Frank had an alibi and there was no forensic evidence to tie him to the 

crime. There were no witnesses to the ostensible murder until Jim 

Conley, the factory janitor, claimed that he saw Leo Frank with Mary 

Phagan. 

The prosecution produced female witnesses who claimed that Frank had 

once ogled them. Many of the witnesses eventually recanted their 

testimony. The trial and its appeal dragged on for two years as the case 

wound its way through the courts. It went as high as the Supreme Court, 

where three of the judges, the minority report, argued to release Frank. 

Finally, Frank was sentenced to death in 1915. Behind the scenes 

William Smith, the lawyer for Jim Conley, came forward and declared 

that it was his own client, and not Frank, who was guilty. Hundreds of 

Protestant ministers came forward to protest Frank’s innocence, but 

nothing was done. 

Finally, the most courageous politician of his era, Governor John Slaton, 

commuted Frank’s death sentence to life imprisonment in order to give 

Frank’s lawyers more time to argue for his innocence. 

of Temple Kol Emeth 

As soon as he commuted the Frank sentence, Governor Slaton’s life 

was threatened by an angry mob. The National Guard had to be called 

out to protect the Governor’s home in Buckhead. Under the cover of 

darkness, Frank was spirited away to serve his term at the Georgia 

State Penitentiary in Milledgeville. 

On a hot August night, ninety five years ago, a prestigious group from 

Marietta planned to abduct Leo Frank from the penitentiary. They 

drove all night on small country roads to break Frank out of the prison. 

Frank was kidnapped from his cell in an act that writer Steve Oney 

calls “state sponsored terrorism.” They drove Frank to Marietta, and 

lynched him about a block from the “Big Chicken,” on land owned by 

the sheriff of Marietta. The lynch party was planned and orchestrated 

by a former Georgia governor, two Georgia state representatives, and 

various judges. 

In 1986, the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles finally bestowed a 

pardon on Leo Frank based on the fact that the state did not protect 

Frank’s freedom. 

But what has never been truly acknowledged is Frank’s innocence of 

any guilt in the murder of Mary Phagan. Over the years I have 

interviewed judges, prosecuting attorneys and policemen. All have 

concurred that were Frank’s trial to be held today the case would be 

thrown out of court. There was no evidence, no real eyewitness, no 

confession. In 1995, on the 80th anniversary, I affixed a plaque to the 

building nearest the site of the Frank lynching. It reads, “Leo Frank - 

wrongly accused, falsely tried, wantonly murdered.” This week, 95 

years since the Frank lynching, the Georgia Historical Society will 

finally erect its own plaque. I have advocated for this historical marker 

for a number of years. It has been a long time coming, but the time is 

right. 

Almost a century later it is time for Georgia to acknowledge one simple 

fact, four words long. 

Leo Frank was innocent.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT 

Dear Congregants: 

As president of our Temple, I wanted to 

take the time to update everyone on the 

efforts and work of the Temple staff, 

volunteers and the Board of Trustees. 

During the spring of 2008, we have some 

very exciting programming taking place 

here for members of all ages. 

On March 8, Simcha 25 and TKE hosted Rick Recht, one of the 

top-touring musicians in Jewish music, playing over 150 

concerts a year in the United States and abroad. He has become 

an icon for Jewish youth in the United States, elevating the 

medium of Jewish music as a powerful and effective tool for 

developing Jewish pride and identity among the masses. It gave 

me great pleasure to welcome Rick to our temple as the host site 

for his Atlanta visit. 

Our second big spring event will be the finale to our year-long 

Simcha 25 celebration. At Shabbat services on Friday, May 16, 

we will welcome Rabbi Lennard Thal, the Senior Vice President 

of the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ). At that time, he will 

reinstall Temple Kol Emeth into the Union to mark our 25th 

anniversary as a congregation. The celebration continues on 

Saturday, May 17 with an “Evening of the Arts.” This event 

will feature a cantorial concert starring our own Cantor Mark 

Perman and some of his esteemed colleagues, along with an art 

auction featuring works by Regency Fine Art and some of our 

TKE artisans. As with all of our Simcha 25 events, admission is 

complimentary, so please mark your calendars. This is a 

weekend not to be missed. 

The board continues to manage the business of the temple while 

creating the spiritual and religious fulfillment we all want to 

experience. Last month, we replaced our current mortgage with 

a lower interest mortgage that will save the temple over $50,000 

per year. I want to thank all those who have committed to the 

capital campaign. We have over $2 million in commitments 

and over $600,000 collected to date. We currently have a $3.7 

million mortgage that was $5.1 million when our capital 

campaign began. With our members’ involvement we will get 

our mortgage paid off. 

Over the next few months, your Temple has some very exciting 

programs for all members. I hope you will join me at these 

events. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact 

me directly at dwmayer@bellsouth.net. 

Thank you for your continued support of our synagogue. 

Sincerely, 

Dave Mayer 

President 


If you’ve enjoyed some of our recent 

Shabbat musical programs at TKE such as 

Friday Night Live with Judy Cole and Co., 

the service for Darfur featuring my friend, 

composer David Sanders and the 

outstanding musicians who supported him, 

then would you consider making a 

contribution to the Temple Kol Emeth 

Music Fund? The TKE Music Fund gives 

us a chance to bring in some outstanding 

guest artists and programs for our members. 

In the past we’ve invited some innovative klezmer musicians 

for our Jose Bowen Klezmer Service as well as the well known 

Israeli flutist Mattan Klein and we are hoping to do a great deal 

more in the future. If you would like to discuss with me some 

ideas about musical performers that you would like to see here 

at TKE, then by all means give me a call in the office or make 

an appointment to come speak with me. 

On another note I would like to wish everyone a Chag Sameach 

and a Passover experience that truly lifts you from whatever 

feeling of Mitzrayim (slavery) that might be holding you back 

in your life. While many people think of Passover as purely a 

historical experience it is actually one that is meant to engage us 

every year on a meaningful and spiritual journey of exodus from 

one place in our lives to another. 

Finally, there will be an outstanding cantorial concert on 

Saturday night, May 17, featuring the talents of Cantor 

Meredith Stone, Cantor Barbara Margulis, Pianist extraordinaire 

Judy Cole and some guest performers from within our 

congregation. There will be more to follow, but hold that date 

for the final Simcha 25 event that promises a great time for all. 

B’Shalom, 

Cantor Perman 

CANTOR’S CORNER

Dear TKE Parents, 

THE FANNIE & JOE MARGOLIN RELIGIOUS SCHOOL 

I suppose this is the appropriate time to share 

with you the details of the visitation weekend 

recently experienced and to thank each of you 

for the part you played in making the weekend 

a success. Yes! The weekend was a success, 

regardless of what the ultimate results might 

prove. I do believe within my heart of hearts 

that we passed all tests and that we will receive our papers. I do 

want to remind you though, that there are times when we expect 

something to happen only to find that we have miscalculated, 

though I don’t anticipate that in this case. I am reminded of a 

story I once heard of one woman who was guilty of just such an 

error. Let me share it with you. 

A young lady was waiting for her flight in the boarding room of a 

big airport. As she would need to wait many hours, she decided to 

buy a book to read during this time. She also bought a packet of 

cookies. She sat down in an armchair, in the VIP room at the 

airport, to rest and read in peace. Beside the armchair where the 

packet of cookies lay, a man sat down in the next seat, opened his 

magazine and started reading. 

When she took out the first cookie, the man took one also. She 

felt irritated, but said nothing. She just thought: “What a nerve! If 

I was in the mood I would punch him for being so daring!” For 

each cookie she took, the man took one, too. This was infuriating 

her more and more, but she didn’t want to cause a scene. When 

only one cookie remained, she thought, “Ah... What’s this man 

going to do now?” 

Then, the man, taking the last cookie, divided it into half, giving 

her one half. Ah! That was too much! She was much too angry 

now! In a huff, she took her book, her things and stormed to the 

boarding place. 

When she sat down in her seat, inside the plane, she looked into 

her purse for her eyeglasses, and, to her surprise, her packet of 

cookies was right there, untouched, unopened! She felt so 

ashamed! She realized that she was wrong. She had forgotten that 

she put her cookies in her purse. The man had divided his cookies 

with her without feeling angered or bitter...while she had been 

very angry, thinking that she was dividing her cookies with him. 

And now there was no chance to explain herself...nor to 

apologize. 

There are four things that you cannot recover. 

The stone...after the throw! 

The word...after it’s said! 

The occasion...after the loss! 

The time...after it’s gone! 

We need to always remember that the story is never over until the 

last chapter has been written. 

Respectfully, 

Dr. Sandy Andron 

TKE Director of Education 

RSPG Notes 

KUDOS to the TKE Fanny and Joe Margolin Religious School! 

Dr. Andron, the teaching staff, the volunteers from RSPG and 

many others participated in an evaluation by the NATE 

(National Association of Temple Educators) team for 

accreditation of our religious school. If we receive the 

accreditation, TKE will have the only accredited religious 

school in Georgia. At the time of this writing, word is not yet 

official about receiving the accreditation, but the feedback from 

the evaluators was very positive. The process has been a long 

one, with a detailed evaluation over the past two years, finally 

resulting in a personal site evaluation by the NATE team the 

last weekend in February. All involved conducted themselves 

with the utmost professionalism and received the highest of 

compliments from the NATE team. We should all feel proud 

and privileged to know that we are sending our children to one 

of the best religious school programs in all of Georgia. 

Fundraising has been successful this semester! Thank you to all 

who have supported the efforts of the latest fundraisers. First, 

thank you to Dan Weinberg and his seventh, eighth and ninth 

graders who cooked those savory burgers to raise money for the 

Ner Tamid project. Over $300 was raised. The Passover 

Barton’s candy sale was also a huge success, bringing in over 

$1,000 to help the religious school with supplies and textbooks. 

Looks like we are a hungry congregation! 

Happy and zissen (sweet) Passover. Passover is literally around 

the corner with the first seder on Saturday, April 19. Please 

note that because of public school vacation dates and 

observance dates for Passover, THERE WILL BE NO 

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL SUNDAY SESSIONS FOR THE 

ENTIRE MONTH OF APRIL. Please check the calendar for 

appropriate in-session dates for Tuesday and Wednesday 

classes. 

It is almost time to wrap up the school year. Please consider 

volunteering for year-end clean up or room parent or school 

office helper next year. Volunteering is a great way for others 

to get to know you and for you to get to know others. Besides, 

who among us really has so much free time that we can do this 

alone? If we all help a small amount, then overall a greater 

amount of work gets done. 

You may soon receive a survey or phone call regarding various 

programming as it relates to your child’s class. Please be 

thoughtful with your answers. Suggestions for future 

programming are welcome.

YOUTH NEWS 

This past month has been quite exciting for KEFTY. We waited 

patiently for Spring Kallah where we hosted tons of smiling 

highschoolers from across the Southeast with fun activities that 

all enjoyed. We also just recently elected the 2008-2009 

KEFTY Board. Two Sundays ago, Jason Rogers, KEFTY 

President (2007-2008), and Lauren Ball, KEFTY advisor, 

oversaw KEFT elections. Turnout was tremendous and 

everyone voted for what will become one of KEFTY’s greatest 

boards ever. The new board includes people from many 

different high schools and many different grades as well. The 

new board is: 

Mollie Benjamin – President 

Perri Nitzberg – Programming Vice President 

Ethan Guthman – Social Action Vice President 

Andrea Amszynki – Religious and Cultural Vice President 

Michelle Alber – Communications Vice President 

Ryan Rones – Membership Vice President 

Sarah Chimoff – 

Co-Communications and Co-Membership Vice President 

Jason Rones and Meredith Halpert – 

Co-Fundraising Vice Presidents 

Leah Berryhill – Journalist 

We would like to congratulate everyone who was elected to 

next year’s board, and ask anyone who happens to see any of 

these people to give them your best wishes. 

On a side note, KEFTY has a major event in the planning stage. 

This event, also open to all eighth graders who wish to attend, is 

KEFTY’s annual Mystery Bus Ride, where we will go 

somewhere for the day, and everyone always has a blast. The 

only catch is that you do not know what is going to happen until 

it does. We hope that we will get a big turnout for this, and hope 

to see you there. 

-KEFTY Board 


THE ABE & HELEN WEISBERG 

PRESCHOOL 

March was a busy month! The Purim Carnival was a huge 

success. We could not have done it without our parent 

volunteers. The kids really enjoyed the games, crafts and 

moonwalk, and we had fun watching them all parade around in 

their costumes. We also had a school-wide Megillah reading. It 

was great having all the parents join us. We all have sore 

throats from booing at Haman! Also for Purim our students 

carried on the tradition of sending Mishlo’ach Manot baskets. 

Passover is around the corner and our classes are already 

preparing for their seders. We washed our hands, rolled up our 

sleeves, and baked matzos which were delicious! In class we 

are busy learning about Moses and Pharaoh, making haggadahs 

and sedar plates. 

B’Shalom, 

Renee

RITUAL COMMITTEE 

New Siddurim (Prayerbooks) Coming to TKE 

by Mitch Halpert 

Have you noticed that many of the siddurim (prayer books) at Temple Kol Emeth are in less than ideal condition? Due to high turnout 

at Shabbat services and the use of the same siddurim for over a decade, these books have seen a lot of use. 

Thanks to the generosity of many congregants who have donated to the Prayerbook fund over the last few years, and another large 

donation, Temple Kol Emeth is excited to announce that new Siddurim have been ordered for use at TKE’s Sabbath services for both 

Friday nights and Saturdays. 

Mishkan T'filah: A New Reform Siddur was initially published late last year by the Central Conference of American Rabbis 

(CCAR). It is in high demand and our order should arrive by the end of May. Aside from the fact that they will be in mint condition, 

congregants and clergy who have seen the new Siddur have praised the content and layout. The CCAR website provides the following 

description: 

Mishkan T’filah is the first new Siddur for the North American Reform Movement in more than thirty years. Including services for 

Shabbat, weekdays and festivals, as well as other occasions of public worship, and texts for more than a hundred songs, Mishkan 

T’filah reflects the full diversity of our Movement. This new Siddur includes: 

• Broad selection of readings including beloved passages from our Reform liturgical tradition and great poetic 

writings from throughout Jewish history 

• Faithful, elegant translations 

• Contemporary, gender-inclusive English 

• Theological and stylistic diversity 

• Extensive commentaries, source notes and usage guides 

• More than 100 contemporary and traditional song texts 

• Transliteration 

• Two-color printing enhances usability 

• Hardcover with page size of 9.5” tall by 7.25” wide. 

• Hebrew opening [pages turn from right to left] 

Please check out the new prayer books at services. 

Torah Chanting – a new opportunity to continue learning 

In preparation for Bar/Bat Mitzvah, TKE students spend six months or more learning their Torah and Haftorah. Congregants and 

guests of the B’nai Mitzvah families are rightfully proud of their students’ achievements. 

Temple Kol Emeth clergy and ritual committee want to encourage students to maintain their new Torah cantillation knowledge, but 

unfortunately, many of new young adults do not get an opportunity have a repeat performance. The ritual committee has encouraged 

TKE high school students to volunteer to chant Torah during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and we intend to continue that 

tradition. 

In addition, the TKE ritual committee has initiated a new opportunity for students to chant Torah. Approximately a year after their 

Bar/Bat Mitzvah, students will be honored with an invitation to chant Torah, in short, a “repeat performance” at TKE Shabbat 

services. 

Whether you are a student or an adult, if you want to chant Torah, or if you have any questions about chanting Torah, please contact 

ritual committee member, Mitch Halpert, at 770-853-2210 or mitch.halpert@huber.com.

BROTHERHOOD 

Long long ago, in a land not too far away, Mark Alhanti was 

President of Brotherhood. 

In an effort to get men to know each other better he came up 

with the idea of “The Men’s Club”. This would be gatherings 

for fun and enjoyment with no constructive purpose in mind. 

We had a night at the pool hall with a tournament and lots of 

laughs. We had poker games where the stakes were, shall we 

say, low. Not everyone knew how to play the different games, 

myself especially, but we had a good time. 

Mark heard that Harvey Schneider and I had been bowling one 

night a week for a number of years and put in his monthly 

article that anyone was welcome and should join us. We had 

called this giving our wives the night off after we helped put our 

daughters to bed. (They are now 20 and 21 years young.) 

This group has grown to as many as 8 on a Thursday night at 

Village lanes. We meet about 8:15 pm and bowl two games and 

go for ice cream afterwards. We would be glad to see the group 

grow. The Rabbi and Cantor even come from time to time. We 

won’t talk about scores! 

Brotherhood would welcome new ideas for the “The Men’s 

Club” and people to coordinate them. We don’t need you to 

head a program that goes for years...just one night. A good idea 

and a relaxed evening for all involved is what it is all about. 

Please contact Bill Lerner 770-977-1180 or w13@comcast.net 

with any suggestions you may have and we can see what 

interest there might be.

MAZEL TOV TO OUR BAT MITZVAH 

April 5 

Hannah Abbe Velcoff will become a Bat 

Mitzvah on April 5, her 13 th birthday. She 

is the daughter of Ellen Marion Townsend 

and Andy Velcoff and the sister of Jacob 

and Emma. Hannah, a graduate of the TKE 

Preschool, is now a seventh grade honor 

student at Riverview Middle School. 

Hannah loves to play tennis. Another love 

of Hannah’s is fashion, whether it’s 

shopping or creating and sewing her own 

designs. Hannah’s mitzvah project is 

volunteering weekly at the Dawson County 

Humane Society. Every Friday, Hannah helps get the animals 

ready for the Petsmart Adoption Day by socializing kittens, bathing 

dogs, and playing fetch with the big dogs. The Humane Society is 

moving into its newly constructed shelter this month, and Hannah 

will continue to spend her Friday afternoons there. Visit 

www.hannahabbe.com for more information or to also assist the 

Humane Society. Hannah has two cats and three dogs and loves to 

visit her grandparent’s farm. We are very proud of Hannah for her 

diligent Bat Mitzvah preparation and for the wonderful young lady 

that she is. 

B’NAI MITZVAH PARENTS... 

Please write 3-5 sentences 

about your son/daughter, 

telling us some interesting 

facts about him/her: grade 

and school, special interests 

and/or involvements, 

brothers/sisters, parents and 

grandparents, unusual 

mitzvah project, etc. Send your paragraph (typed in Word 

format, Times New Roman 10) by email to 

VOICE@kolemeth.net, with a copy to

You MUST get your paragraph and photo to us by the 1st 

of the month before your actual date; i.e., if your son’s bar 

mitzvah is in May, we need to receive your materials no later 

than April 1. If you do not receive a confirmation that your 

bio and photo were received by us within five days of your 

submission, please contact the temple office. Please check the 

VOICE prior to your deadline to confirm the deadline for your 

issue, since holidays sometimes necessitate earlier cut-off 

dates. 


NEWS & NOTES 

THE MEAL MATCH 

Ever wish you had 

someone to invite over 

for another holiday feast 

but thought everyone 

you know must be 

hosting or going 

somewhere? Not into 

cooking and need 

somewhere to go for 

holidays? We’ve got the 

solution! WRJ will match congregants up with each other to 

celebrate holidays. If the program is a big hit, we may 

expand it to Shabbat dinners as well. 

Remember - it is a mitzvah 

to invite people into 

your home to celebrate holidays. 

Contact Meg Fisher at 678-560-0811 

or email mzf@bellsouth.net 

if you would like to join the program for Passover. 

Please indicate if you are interested in 

hosting others, going to someone’s house, or either one.

FAMILY SHABBAT 

APRIL 25, 2008 

7 PM 

Do you like sharing in the warmth and 

spirit of Shabbat with your family at 

TKE on Friday nights? Do you have 

"tween" children - too old for 

Tot Shabbat but too young to sit through the regular service? 

Then Family Shabbat is for you! 

Many families have asked for this, and we are excited to offer 

Family Shabbat the fourth Friday of each month. Family 

Shabbat is created for children in first through fourth grades. 

Services are alternately conducted by Rabbi and Cantor and 

are interactive, lively, with lots of music and ruach (spirit). 

The next Family Shabbat is April 25 at 7 p.m. We have 

several ideas about special dinners and themes for future 

Family Shabbat Services and look forward to coordinating 

with volunteer families to help in the planning. 

For more information about this exciting new and creative 

service and how you can get involved, please contact Pam 

Lowe at pam@thelowes.org or Lisa Mallis 

at lisa@malli.com. 

Bereavement Program 

Temple Kol Emeth is hosting a 

bereavement group

“May the memory of the righteous 

be a blessing for us.” Psalm 112 

It is a sacred Jewish tradition to remember 

the departed. At Temple Kol Emeth, 

we have made this tradition a part 

of our continuous worship and observance 

by creating a lasting memorial tribute 

to our loved ones in our sanctuary. 

These plaques will be viewed by 

future generations with 

love and remembrance. 

You can honor your loved one 

by eternalizing their memory 

with a bronze plaque in our sanctuary. 

During their Yahrzeit each year, 

and every Yiskor service, 

their memory will be rekindled, 

as the plaque is illuminated. 

You may order a plaque by contacting 

Dianne Hyman in the TKE office, 

(770)973-3533, or by emailing her at 

diannehyman@kolemeth.net. 

The cost of the plaque is $375. 

Each plaque requires approximately 

eight weeks for casting, 

shipping and mounting. 

As Proverbs tells us … 

the kindling of the memorial candle, 

which continues to burn and 

illuminate like the soul, 

is the very lamp of God.

BETTY AND JERRY SINGER 

SCHOLARSHIP FUND 

It's that time of the year to apply for some college financial support from TKE 

through the Betty and Jerry Singer Scholarship Fund. 

DEADLINE IS MAY 1, 2008 

We would like to take this opportunity to share the vision established for the Fund with everyone at TKE 

and explain the application and award process. The vision is comprised of four elements. 

1. The purpose of the Betty and Jerry Singer Scholarship Fund is to encourage service, involvement and 

leadership in TKE, especially KEFTY, the senior youth group. 

2. Through private donations, the fund will eventually become an endowed (self-perpetuating) fund. As 

such, it would have sufficient principal and as a result, the investment interest and dividends would 

fund yearly scholarship awards. This year the fund will provide a $1,000 scholarship. Once 

the fund becomes endowed and generates sufficient income, we hope that this amount can be 

increased to $2,000 or several awards of $1,000. 

3. The award will be provided to an individual with the following general qualifications: 

A. A high school senior who has been accepted to a college or university. 

B. A current member of TKE and KEFTY. 

C. Has performed exceptional service, involvement, and leadership to TKE 

during high school years (grades 9 - 12). 

4. The scholarship is merit based. This means that everyone can apply regardless of their parent’s 

financial situation. The scholarship application is available NOW electronically by emailing Blake 

Singer at blakesinger@hotmail.com. You can complete it using MS Word but an electronic form of the 

required signatures will NOT be accepted. 

Again, candidates must submit their completed applications in Blake Singer’s mailbox at the TKE office on 

or before May 1, 2008. 

The Scholarship Fund Committee will review the applications and select the recipient. The winner will be 

presented the award at the annual TKE meeting in May. 

If you have any questions about the scholarship, feel free to speak with any of the committee members: 

Blake Singer, Craig Aronoff, Lynnor Holder or Randy Stuart.
