I am with on Kimberly Feinberg, I am conducting an interview Dr. Lowell Katz for the JFVS archives August 2, 2007. 2. Can you tell me how and why your family originally came to this country and when? I don’t know for certain why my family came to this country, I suppose because they were poor and oppressed like everyone else who was Jewish. They came by boat. 3. What were your parents’ names and where were they born? My mother, Merelyn Davis, was bom in Louisville. My father, Philip, was born in Brooklyn 4. What is your birth date? What language(s) were spoken in your home? Where did you live then? Who lived in the same house with you Grandparents? Uncles/aunts? Brothers? Sisters? My birth date is Sept 16 1946. I speak English and Yiddish. When I was young we lived in the Highlands area. When I was bom my grandparents and my two twin aunts lived with us along with my parents of course. My grandparents also lived with us the whole time I was growing up. One of my aunts died of rheumatic heart disease when she was 29 and the other one married in 1952. 5. What was your neighborhood like? Were there other Jews living in the neighborhood? Did you walk to school? Sunday School? Temple? Was there a neighborhood grocery? Drug store? Our neighbor was very much like it is today. We lived a block away from Lakeside Swim Club, and it really hasn’t changed much since we moved there in 1950. I walked to elementary school, but not Sunday school or temple. At that time, the Temple was downtown. Plenty of Jews lived there; in fact, most of the Jews in Louisville lived there. 25% of my class, maybe more, was Jewish. There was an A&P grocery on Bardstown where the Kroger is now. The drug store, Glendale Pharmacy, was next to the movie theatre on Bardstown and was owned by a Jewish man, whose name I can’t remember. 6. How did the 1937 flood affect you and your family? My mother’s family lived on East Chestnut Street, and they were wiped out. My mother said that they were always poor and that when the Depression came they were so poor they couldn’t tell any difference. My grandfather drove a horse and wagon delivering Linker’s bread. �7. If you wished to travel what kind of transportation did you use? Did you travel when you were young? If so, where? We traveled by car when I was young. We didn’t travel a lot, but we have close relatives in Cincinnati and we would visit often. The only real vacation I remember taking was when I was 12 with my mother and younger sister took a train to New York. We would drive to Cincinnati a lot; there were no interstates so we would take US 42. It was 3/2 to 4 hours to get there, and we would always stop at the Gypsy Grill in Carrolton for a break. 8. Was your family involved in a synagogue / temple? Yes, interestingly my father belonged to a congregation according to the rabbi. When I was little we belonged to Keneseth Israel because he liked the rabbi and then the rabbi moved to New York, so we joined Adath Israel. When that rabbi died my father liked rabbi Roodman so we joined his Anshei Sfard. I was going to religious school at Adath Israel and getting bar mitzvah lessons from a orthodox rabbi. 9. What holidays and rituals were observed? My grandfather was a very observant man. He always went to Four Courts because he could walk to it and on Yom Kippur he would stay the night there. We kept kosher at home and we always had Seder. I remember going to shul on Purim every year and doing the grager and shul on Simchas Torah, walking around with the flag with the apple on top. High holidays, and shul on Sukkoth, being in the Sukka. I especially remember Yom Kippur because, on Yom Kippur the only lights we had were the yahrtzeit candles; there was no TV, no radio, no lights. 10. Did you attend religious school? Were you confirmed? Bar Mitzvah? Yes. Yes. Yes. 11. What is your educational background? What was your career? I graduated from the University of Louisville and the University of Louisville Medical School. I am a Colo-Rectal surgeon. 12. What brought you to Louisville and when did you come? I was born here. 13. How did you meet your husband/wife? Where and when were you married? Did you have children? In the Laundromat. We both lived at Lakeview Gardens and I knew her slightly in college, she was pinned with one of my frat brothers. When I was doing my residency, one of the GYN residents told me I should take her out and shortly after that we ran into each other. �14. Tell about you involvement in the Jewish Community? Was you whole family involved? I have been very active in the JFVS since 1990. I am on the Board and served as President from 2004-2006. I have been on the Federation Board for most of the last dozen or so years. I served as Chair of the Resettlement Committee, and taught Sunday school when I was in college. My mother was very active in mizrachi one of the most active members in the city. And my father taught Sunday school when we went to Anshei Sfard and Adath Israel. My father was also one of the organizers of what became the Crusade for Children. 15. How was your family affected by the World Wars? Wars in Israel? My father was in the OSS and was one of the people that liberated Dachan. I remember him talking about this and the people in the temple told him he wasn’t allowed to talk about it because it was too intense for the eight graders to be taught. Father was a soldier; he ended up being my father while stationed at Bowman Field he met my mother at YMHA. After Europe, they didn’t want to go back to New York so they stayed here. Before the war father was a nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn. My father said “the war ruined my life”. I think anyone who goes to war and sees death and concentration camps and god knows what else, have changed in ways that those of us who have never been exposed to it can never really understand. As far as I know we didn’t have any relatives left in Europe. The Wars in Israel have had no direct impact on our families lives. 16. What are your favorite spiritual memories? How did religion affect your life? On my 40th birthday we had a party, my mother died young at age 60, yet I could swear that my mother and grandmother were sitting next to me at that party. It’s the only time I’ve ever had a moment like that, I think that’s fairly spiritual. The most spiritual experience I’ve had with religion was when Debbie Friedman came, most Jews are not very demonstrative and when she was singing people would get up and sing with her, it was something that I never thought I would do in public, it was amazing. How did religion affect my life? Well, I don’t know, that’s kind of a difficult I am cognizant more now than I was earlier in life and have prayed in catholic churches because I was spiritually moved there. There was a magnificent church in New Mexico that‘s run by the Sisters of Loretto who are also in Bardstown. I have friends who had a child with cancer and I prayed there, and the child got better. In Paris, at Notre Dame, I was moved as well. I asked my wife if I could light a candle and pray for one of my friends. To me, God is God. God doesn’t have to be in a temple, God could be anywhere. �17. What interests do you have? At the University of Louisville sports program, I was Cardinal Bird mascot for 4 yrs, and I am a huge fan, as is my whole family. One of the things we do together is go out of town to games. I read a lot and I love history. Much of my time is spent at work and at the JFVS and of course, with my family. Anything that has to deal with family is something that I want to do. We have three children and the two boys have moved back to Louisville. I’ve been very lucky. It’s great to be able to have a relationship with your children when they become adults. 18. What are your favorite family memories? One of my favorite memories is from my bar mitzvah. We had a house on the hill and my window looked down on the street. I remember waiting for all of my relatives to come. My two older cousins had already had their bar mitzvah and I was excited about mine. At Passover, my grandmother would always say “this will be my last year” and she should always be there for the next Passover until the last year, when she was sick and didn’t say that. I was the oldest grandchild and my grandmother’s favorite. My mother and my two aunts and grandmother took great care of me. My grandmother would put my pajamas in the oven to warm them up. My mother and grandmother and I went to the Hay Market and bought live chickens from Mrs. Joe. My grandmother would pick out the eggs individually and then we would get the chickens slaughtered and she would kosher the chickens. She would make an individual pie for me and I would get the underdeveloped eggs. She would tell me stories in Yiddish when I was younger, just lots of extra love. 19. What is your legacy? How would you like to be remembered? What values would you like to pass on to those you leave behind? I guess I’d like to be known as a good person that I helped other people. I’m not so sure there’s much anyone else can do besides that. I don’t feel like I’m ready to have a legacy yet. I feel like you have to be almost dead. At the end of Abbey Road by the Beatles is one of my favorite quotes: “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make”. I would be happy to have that on my tomb stone and for that Beatles song to be played at my funeral. As far as I’m concerned that’s all they would have to say or do, because the people who love me would know how to feel about all of that. As far as the values that I would like to pass on to those I will leave behind; I’ve already passed them on, love, truth, honesty, and good character.

This was in the early 1920’s. Mother came after revolution and she had a sister in Rochester NY, so she didn’t have to leave illegally, and landed in NY and had to then make her way, by herself, with a language barrier to Rochester NY. Some women from an aide society helped her. Mother left because older sister had said to her, “Go out of here Caroline, leave you’re not married you have no children leave.

As a young person I remember sitting around the table listening to the six o’clock news on the radio and we weren’t allowed to talk. While the WWII was going badly, my father feared, and had great fears that the Germans were going to win. He thought that if it got too bad he contemplated putting the family in the car and driving us into the Well and Ship canal. For the Israeli wars we were not physically affected at all.

We were not allowed to integrate socially, dating, and such. At 14 or 15 whenever you get really interested in boys, I could never go out with anyone that wasn’t Jewish. And then I was part of something like young Judea and they would have meetings and get together with other Jewish communities in surrounding cities. 17. What interests do you have? Main interest would first be family, children, and grandchildren, married children and grandchildren live out of town so I visit them in Jacksonville Fl, and Chappaqua, NY, active with Louisville Orchestra and sit on their board and comities, docent at speed art museum, always active in the Jewish community whenever asked to do anything always does it and has been active with the federation, young women’s divisions, and always active in raising funds from Louisvillians for local Jewish community, Israel, and Jews around the world. 18. What are your favorite family memories? 19. What is your legacy? How would you like to be remembered? What values would you like to pass on to those you leave behind? I hope I instilled in my children to go beyond themselves and their families to help others in their community, to be charitable in their communities and help out others not as fortunate as themselves. �Those are the values, the values of helping others. You have to go beyond yourself and what you can buy and enjoy. No greater legacy can a parent leave a child than a good name, and I hope when I’m gone I’ve done that as my parents have done before me.

Can you tell me how and why your family originally came to this country and when? They most likely came for better living conditions. I’m fourth generation Ohioan. The paternal side of my family, my grandfather came from Russia with his wife, but we never really did find out why. I think my maternal relatives came to Cleveland because other family members were there. 3. What were your parents’ names and where were they born? Mother, Jeannette Newman, Cleveland, seven siblings, mother being the oldest. Father, Abraham Sugerman , Baltimore, six siblings, father being the oldest. 4. What is your birth date? What language(s) were spoken in your home? Where did you live then? Who lived in the same house with you Grandparents? Uncles/aunts? Brothers? Sisters? My birth date is 4/19/31. English was spoken in our home. We lived in Cleveland. Our household consisted of mother, father, and my brother Bob. My father died when I was 16, and my maternal grandmother moved in with us. 5. What was your neighborhood like? Were there other Jews living in the neighborhood? Did you walk to school? Sunday School? Temple? Was there a neighborhood grocery? Drug store? Our neighborhood was wonderful; there were a lot of Jewish people. It was in Cleveland Heights OH. It was comfortable. My mother didn’t drive and my father was a traveling salesman. We typically walked everywhere or took a street car or bus. I walked to school. It was six blocks to my elementary school. I took bus to junior high, and walked to high school which was one block away. We had to take a bus or street car to temple or father drove. The grocery was one block away and drug store was a little further. 6. How did the 1937 flood affect you and your family? We were not from Louisville at that time. 7. If you wished to travel what kind of transportation did you use? Did you travel when you were young? If so, where? We traveled by street car and bus, and my father drove us too. We traveled a little when I was young. We used to spend a week in the summer at Indiana Lake in northern Indiana, and I went to New York once with my mother, a cousin and my �aunt. For this trip we took a plane. My father was a traveling salesman and in the amusement business. He sold merchandise to parks, so he used to drive us to the parks in the summer time. Life there was a world of carnivals and “camies”. 8. Was your family involved in a synagogue I temple? At The Temple in Cleveland, Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver was very reformed. My father was from a more orthodox family, but he learned to observe the reform practices because that’s what my mother wanted. My paternal grandparents went to an orthodox synagogue which we occasionally visited. 9. What holidays and rituals were observed? We observed all the holidays, in a “reform” sort of way. Except for Seders, we went to my father’s partner’s family’s Seders and they were more conservative and great fun. 10. Did you attend religious school? Were you confirmed? Bar Mitzvah? I did attend religious school and was confirmed. I personally had a bat mitzvah three weeks ago on July 14, 2007. It was intimate, with our immediate family, a Havdalah service in the Temple Chapel at 6:30 pm. I worked on it for over a year. . 11 .What is your educational background? What was your career? I have a BS. I went back to get it when I was 40 in 1970, and then returned to get my masters, but it was the year bussing started in Louisville. It was hard to start at 40 years old to teach. I completed fifteen hours towards my masters. The first few years were very difficult because of all of the bedlam. So I did long term substitute teaching. My daughter went to New York to try to break into theatre, and so I started a business out of my home so I could “write off’ going to visit her. I was evicted by neighbors who didn’t want customers driving into our neighborhood. Then I opened a store at Brownsboro Center in the arcade. When we had grandchildren, I didn’t want to be tied up all the time so I sold the business and became a manufacturer’s rep for upscale museum products and traveled throughout Kentucky never further than two hours from Louisville. I loved it, and the people I met! I left that job about 15 years ago. 12. What brought you to Louisville and when did you come? My husband moved us to Louisville in 1951. 13. How did you meet your husband/wife? Where and when were you married? Did you have children? I met my husband at Indiana University when I was a freshman and he was a junior. We married in 1951 when I was 20 and he was 21. �He had been dating my roommate and I had been dating his best friend. We met secretly for two months before we had the courage to tell our friends that we were “an item”. We were married in 1951 have two children. Alice was bom January 13, 1954 and Rick was born September 18, 1955. Our daughter married Robert Galoab and lives in San Francisco. Our son married Robin Greenspan and lives in Chicago. 14. Tell about you involvement in the Jewish Community? Was you whole family involved? I have been a member of the Council of Jewish Women, Sisterhood, solicit for UJA, and asked to be Vice President of the Council and Sisterhood of Jewish Temple. I decided to go back to school and get my degree, so I didn’t accept the position. My family was involved when I would solicit, my children would come along and be in the car with me. I’m still involved with temple. I also volunteer at Atria. 15. How was your family affected by the World Wars? Wars in Israel? During the war I had an uncle who served in the army. Our family cut back on gas and meat rations and felt very patriotic. 16. What are your favorite spiritual memories? How did religion affect your life? As for spiritual memories, my bat mitzvah was the most favorite. Religion has affected my life, I feel like I have a deep sense of commitment and I’m so proud to be Jewish. 17. What interests do you have? My interests include bridge, music, play the piano, reading and working out. I like some sports and enjoy going to classes, both at temple and at the university. 18. What are your favorite family memories? Favorite family memories include Thanksgiving here with our children and grandchildren. It was always a very special time because the family would come in from San Francisco and Chicago. After dinner we would go into the recreation room and play charades, it was a Thanksgiving ritual. 19. What is your legacy? How would you like to be remembered? What values would you like to pass on to those you leave behind? I guess my mother’s confirmation speech really summed up how I feel about my legacy that “a good name is more important than riches”. I would like to remembered as having had a good name, being a good person, a good Jew, and a good citizen. I hope that I have passed down to our children good values and pride in being Jewish.

Can you tell me how and why your family originally came to this country and when? My father’s family came from England, and his father, my grandfather, who I didn’t know, was kind of a scholarly man. He opened a book store in Louisville. Why Louisville I’m not sure, but the whole family moved here from Manchester England. They had relatives in the United States. My father who was born in 1899 was the only child born in the United States. All the others were bom in England, so they must have come in the late 1890s. My mother’s family came from Russia or Lithuania. I think everyone came over at that time. I don’t know why they came to Louisville. 3. What were your parents’ names and where were they born? Mother, Hannah Grossman Weber, Louisville Father, William E Weber, Louisville 4. What is your birth date? What language(s) were spoken in your home? Where did you live then? Who lived in the same house with you - Grandparents? Uncles/aunts? Brothers? Sisters? I was bom January 7, 1930. I speak only English, but my mother could speak Yiddish and when she talked on the phone with her mother, they would often talk in Yiddish. Just Yiddish expressions from time to time and I don’t understand most of it. We lived in the Highlands. This was the nice section of the east end then. Our household consisted of myself, my brother, mother and father. 5. What was your neighborhood like? Were there other Jews living in the neighborhood? Did you walk to school? Sunday School? Temple? Was there a neighborhood grocery? Drug store? Our neighborhood was a modest, well kept, east end neighborhood. We had a small two bedroom house. There were several Jewish families in our neighborhood. I walked to school or rode my bike when I was big enough to have one for elementary and middle school. In high school I took the bus. Our synagogue was downtown, so we drove or took the bus there. I went to synagogue on Saturdays when I was studying for my bar mitzvah. Within about three or four blocks of our house there was really anything you needed in food. Groceries and Drug stores, those were the kind of thing I would jog, run, walk or ride my bike to. �6. How did the 1937 flood affect you and your family? It affected us greatly. My father had a drug store at 5th & Market and it was completely flooded and so we were out of business for a bit. To see how badly it was, he had to use a row boat. We lost power, so we had kerosene lamps and we had to boil the water on the gas stove or we put iodine in it. A lot of Jews from downtown would have to stay in the east end because their homes were flooded. We entertained some of them but they couldn’t stay with us because our house was so small. Shortly after the flood I got Scarlet Fever. 7. If you wished to travel what kind of transportation did you use? Did you travel when you were young? If so, where? Father had a car. We either used trolleys and buses, or a car. When I was a child, to go outside the city we took the train. Very few airplanes until I was older. Occasionally by bus if it was close by. Most of the traveling was by trains in the early days and then, when air travel became more recognized, we did some of that too. I had some relatives in Washington DC, my aunt and uncle. During the summer once I took a train up there and stayed for two weeks. I had and aunt and uncle in Henderson KY, across the river from Evansville IN, and they had a shoe store and twin daughters my age. We were very close, so I would take a train there. I would go with my parents for some traveling, but by myself to DC and Henderson. 8. Was your family involved in a synagogue / temple? Yes, we belonged to Keneseth Israel an orthodox synagogue downtown. We were not orthodox really. We weren’t completely observant but my grandmother was a matriarch in the temple so that’s where we belonged. 9. What holidays and rituals were observed? Always Passover, high holidays, Sukkoth and most of the Jewish holidays were observed. Mostly outside of our home and we would go to other’s homes for Sukkoth and others. 10. Did you attend religious school? Were you confirmed? Bar Mitzvah? Yes, yes, yes. 11. What is your educational background? What was your career? BS from Indiana University, and a JD from University of Louisville School of Law, now Brandeis School of Law. I’m an attorney at a mid size law firm in Louisville. I practice mainly in commercial, labor relations and probate law. 12. What brought you to Louisville and when did you come? I was born here. �13. How did you meet your husband/wife? Where and when were you married? Did you have children? I was a junior and she came up as a freshman. She knew someone who knew my brother and was told to look me up. I met her the first Friday night at Hillel. We didn’t start dating right away but we eventually got together. We were married in Cleveland Ohio on Aug 26, 1951. We have two children. A daughter who was born in 1954 now lives in San Francisco. A son who was bom in 1955, who now lives in Chicago. 14. Tell about you involvement in the Jewish Community? Was you whole family involved? I was the President of the Jewish Social Service Agency which became part of JFVS. Founder and President of the Association of Jewish Family and Children’s Agenices. I got involved on the Board of the Jewish Hospital and was Chair for three years. We formed Jewish Hospital Health Care Services, and became Chair of that for three years. I was a “lifetime” trustee of hospital Board until we merged with Caritas and former board chairs were no longer lifetime members. I’m still on the merged Board of Jewish Hospital St. Mary’s Health Care and I serve on the Legal and Compliance Committee of that organization. Mother, I’m sure, was member of Hadassah and Sisterhoods. Father was a member of Bnai Brith, but not overly active in those organizations. The children weren’t really members because when they got married, left and started their own adult lives. 15. How was your family affected by the World Wars? Wars in Israel? Father was probably too young for WWI and by the time he was of draft age, the war was over. My brother served in the Navy in WWII for three to four years. I was too young for WWII, but I did serve in the Air Force during the Korean War for 2years. We had no direct contact or involvement with the wars in Israel. 16. What are your favorite spiritual memories? How did religion affect your life? I guess the celebration of Passover at my grandmother’s house for the two Seders when our family would come would be one of my favorite spiritual memories. My Bar Mitzvah, of course. I didn’t want to go to Hebrew school, but I did enjoy it the Bar Mitzvah when all was said and done. I was never a big fan of going to services, but I went and I did observe the holidays. I enjoyed the observance of certain Jewish holidays and for the most part I enjoyed services on the high holidays, but that’s about it. 17. What interests do you have? Golf, reading, music, bridge and sports of all types. 18. What are your favorite family memories? Vacations with my brother and parents, going to the pro baseball games with my father and brother, just a wonderful home life and much happiness in our home. Also, Thanksgiving with our children and grandchildren at our home for many years. �My mother died when she was very young and we didn’t have her very long after we got married. 19. What is your legacy? How would you like to be remembered? What values would you like to pass on to those you leave behind? I’ve given something back to the community. It’s been good to me and I’ve tried to give something back in the areas that I’m interested in. I hope that’s trickled down to my children, I think it has. The fact that I can be proud of my children, I’ve got good children and grandchildren. I would like to be remembered as someone who had the respect of others and was thought of as an honest and forthright person who gave some of himself to the community and was a good husband, father, and grandfather. As for my values that I would like to pass down to those I leave behind, I think I’ve already passed them on. My kids know what my values are and they have a good sense of values and of giving to others.
