Remembering Leo Frank’s Lynching

By Rabbi Josh Knobel, Stephen Wise Temple

For those of us keeping count, today marks the 105th anniversary of Leo Frank’s lynching in Atlanta. A 31-year-old New York Jew turned manager of an Atlanta pencil factory, he had spent two years in prison for the murder of Mary Phagan, a twelve-year old employee of the factory, before 28 men referring to themselves as the “Knights of Mary Phagan”—including Mary’s uncle and a former Georgia governor—abducted Frank from his prison cell and took him to Phagan’s small hometown near Marietta, where they lynched him.
History ultimately exonerated Frank of his crimes, and he received a posthumous pardon in 1986. Despite incriminating evidence against the factory’s watchman and janitor, police remained convinced that Frank, denounced for his identity as a Jew, a Northerner, and an industrialist, was the killer. No one, unfortunately, was ever charged for his lynching.

The injustice apparent in Frank’s trial in 1913 and his death in 1915 clearly illustrated that America carried the same potential for antisemitic rhetoric and violence that had characterized European life for centuries. Such a palpable threat galvanized much of the American Jewry, inspiring them to act in concert to protect the interests of the American Jewish community. Organizations such as the nascent Anti-Defamation League committed themselves toward identifying and combatting antisemitic activity, a task that, regrettably, remains more relevant today than in decades past.
As antisemitic propaganda and violence begin to grow in earnest in the United States for the first time in decades, the American Jewish community finds itself more divided than ever before, having been drawn into the sectarian politics that have divided the country. In the wake of Leo Frank’s lynching, the American Jewish community came together to lead America toward greater understanding and acceptance. What will it take for us to do so once again?

Finding Ways to Be More Human with Jen Pastiloff

Thank you THRIVE GLOBAL for publishing my article about Jen Pastiloff’s book: On Being Human.
[image error]
Jennifer Pastiloff’s book, On Being Human, resonated with me so much that I could hear parts of it repeating in my head. At one point, she recounts her mother saying to her, “If you keep doing what Jenny Jen P has always done, you’ll keep getting what Jenny Jen P has always gotten.” If you want something different, the big question is “now what?” Her book is about finding the ways to be ready to see where you are stuck and being inspired to make the changes for your challenges.
[image error]
My senior year of high school, I remember being asked to write my obituary and it felt odd. We were meant to imagine if we met our future goals by the time we died. I had never been to a funeral and it seemed like that would only happen so far in my future.
But for Jennifer Pastiloff, it was not foreign. She spent much of her young life thinking about death and obituaries. Her father died when he was 38 years old, and ten years later her step-father, Frank, died when he was 39 years old, days before she was meant to graduate from high school. She never expected to live long enough to make it past 38.
[image error]
It would be decades before she opened herself to her grief, and along the way she struggled with depression, anorexia, chronic ear infections, distorted hearing and hearing loss. She was constantly told to “pay attention,” but no one asked why she wasn’t.
She shares this journey in her book explaining, “I have spent my whole life trying to hide who I was, trying to hide my clinical depression and my hearing loss and my swallowed grief and the fact that I was a college dropout and that I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life.” In her workshops, there is no hiding. She asks everyone to show up, be fall-in-loveable and be themselves. She questions at every session: “How do we find light when we think we belong to darkness?”
I loved when she said: “We are not our bullshit stories, we are not the size of our thighs, we are not things we spoke as a child, we are not our depression, we are not our disabilities, we are not the lies other people have told us about ourselves. We are love.” In order to move forward, we have to stop listening to our fear.
[image error]
I remember when I showed up to go sky diving as part of 50 challenges I did before I was 50 and talking to my tandem-instructor about scuba diving with sharks. He told me that was far too scary and he would never ever do that. I looked at him in shock. I said, “You get paid every day to jump out of a perfectly well-maintained airplane.” It was the first time I realized what Pastiloff talks about “how we’re all scared of something… How so many of us can do what we thought was impossible. We can start over. We can heal. We can feel. We can live with heartbreak.” Depending on what is familiar to us and our experiences, different things are scary to different people.
Through her personal stories of years of awful jobs and terrible relationships, hearing loss and food issues, Pastiloff shows her bravery to want something more. She asks for help and starts a yoga teacher training class. She is willing to take a risk and leads a yoga retreat in Mexico. She sees a therapist and starts to take anti-depressants.
Pastiloff draws from other cultures including Japan, where “there is a custom for repairing broken pottery called kintsugi. The method emphasizes fractures and breaks instead of hiding them. I began to think of myself as that pottery. Maybe I wasn’t ruined.” As she realizes she has value and can take up space, she thinks about “Who would you be if nobody told you who you were? Because no one is just a mom, just a waitress, just a girl, just a yoga teacher.”
Pastiloff asks each of us to imagine that we are already whole and believe that our dreams can come true. I loved when she talked about how “the moon is never missing any of itself. We just can’t see it. People are like that, too.” It appears throughout the month that the moon disappears but it is always still there.
[image error]
Whether she was teaching at Canyon Ranch or on Good Morning America, she often had to be fearless-ish. She did not know if she could do something new but she felt scared and did it anyway.
My favorite thing that she talked about was to “Give Yourself a Fucking Medal (No One Will Do It for You).” As Pastiloff explains, “My whole life I had been waiting for permission, waiting to be discovered, waiting to be acknowledged, chosen, given permission to take up space. All my life I had been waiting for someone to tell me I was enough. But you have to do all the hard work of loving yourself yourself. What will you give yourself a fucking medal for?”
We all want to be fall-in-love-able and fearless-ish. We want more. The way to have courage is to ask for help and to allow yourself to receive it.
Pastiloff recounts a story of a yoga teacher who did not understand her hearing issues and says, “I knew that you could never know what’s going on with someone. How many times had people judged me because they thought I simply was not listening when really I had an invisible disability? How many times had I judged someone in the past? I promised myself to not shame anyone for looking around too much and “not being present” when in reality they might be deaf. I wish I had said to the teacher, “Will you help show me the way? Or shame me for looking?”
[image error]
What will you choose in your relations with yourself and others? Will you give yourself a medal or hide? Will you stay stuck refusing to recognize your limitations or find ways to shoot for the stars?
During COVID19, mask wearing presents new challenges for Jen Pastiloff, so now her mask says, “I read lips.” What if we all wore masks that showed the help we need. What would your mask say?
[image error]
Join Josh Radnor, Azure Antoinette, and Jen Pastiloff on Sunday August 2nd for a two-hour “On Being Human” workshop. You will write, listen, move, and open your heart. You will not only find your voice but also use it! What will happen? There will be gentle movement, inspiring writing prompts, meditation, illuminating conversation with a little bit of magic, and a lot of humor.
Thank you THRIVE GLOBAL for publishing my article about Jen Pastiloff’s book: On Being Human.

5 Reasons To Be Hopeful during COVID

[image error]
Thank you to Yitzi Weiner and Dr. William Seeds for interviewing me for Authority Magazine: “ Seeing Light at the End of the Tunnel; 5 Reasons To Be Hopeful During This Corona Crisis
[image error]
When I was teaching, I told my students if they had to choose between being smart or kind, it was more important to be kind. It would be great to be both but people will remember how you make them feel. At every opportunity, help people feel better
Asa part of my series about the things we can do to remain hopeful and support each other during anxious times, I had the pleasure of interviewing Lisa Niver.
Lisa Ellen Niver is an award-winning travel expert who has explored 101 countries and six continents. Her website, We Said Go Travel, is read in 235 countries. Find her talking travel on KTLA TV and her YouTube videos with over one million two hundred thousand views. Lisa has written for AARP, American Airways, Jewish Journal, Ms. Magazine, Smithsonian and Wharton Magazine.
Thank you so much for doing this with us! Our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Can you share with us the backstory about what brought you to your specific career path?
I agree with Zig Zigler when he said: “Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations. The best is yet to come.” This time of COVID19 has reminded me that I have had to pivot and change directions many times. I started at UCSF Medical school after my undergraduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania but I realized that was not the right path for me. Many people told me that I was ruining my life to give up medicine. I started teaching and received a Masters in Education. I learned to Scuba dive and dreamed of traveling more. I worked for nearly seven years on cruise ships seeing the world and being paid to travel and scuba dive around the world. I loved my job. But after Sept 11, Renaissance Cruises went bankrupt quickly and I went back to teaching which I truly love. After many years of teaching, I starting traveling more as well as sharing my travels on my own website, We Said Go Travel, and for many other sites. I started making videos and my YouTube channel now has over 1.2 million views and I have been invited to share my travels on KTLA TV in Los Angeles.
I was just honored in July 2020 by being named a five time finalist for the Southern California Journalism Awards for my print, digital and broadcast TV segments. I am also nominated for Online Journalist of the Year!
Five Time Finalist for Southern California Journalism Awards! Thank you!
If I had never risked it all, I would never have found out how much I love writing and making videos. Now with COVID, there is no traveling so I am working at home on a memoir about my past adventures.
Is there a particular book that made a significant impact on you? Can you share a story or explain why it resonated with you so much?
I recently read Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David Epstein which really spoke to me. He discusses how our society believes that starting early and specializing gives a giant head start and is important which makes those of us who change careers feel behind. But he explained in reality and by looking at the research the truth is that by waiting, experimenting and finding a career that has good match quality, you life can actually be much better in the long run. I felt very relieved that I was not behind. It takes time to find the right place for yourself. It is okay if during COVID19 you discover something new that you love. You are not behind! Do not give up!
Ok, thank you for all that. Now let’s move to the main focus of our interview. Many people have become anxious from the dramatic jolts of the news cycle. The fears related to the coronavirus pandemic have heightened a sense of uncertainty, fear, and loneliness. From your perspective can you help our readers to see the “Light at the End of the Tunnel”? Can you share your “5 Reasons To Be Hopeful During this Corona Crisis”? If you can, please share a story or example for each.
During COVID19, every time someone asks me, “How are you doing?” I say, “It is a rollercoaster. Some days I feel okay and some days are not so good.” I remember this saying from Budda:“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”
It is important to find ways to feel good about our days. I have been focused on small goals and have coped during COVID19 by
READING: I have been reading non-stop during COVID19. I really miss traveling so I have been reading books that make me feel like I am in another place. I wrote about 8 of those books for Ms. Magazine: “8 Books That Will Transport You.” https://msmagazine.com/2020/05/17/8-books-that-will-transport-you/CATCH UP ON A PROJECT: During COVID19, I have been working on projects that I just did not have time for before. When we were allowed to travel, I was gone 50% of the time working on stories. I would return and focus on my videos and stories. During quarantine, I put up photos of my art. I was 18 months behind and it never seemed like I had time to catch up. https://www.instagram.com/simplyceramics2 Now my art instagram is up to date. I was able to apply for and receive a grant this month from CCI for my visual arts because I had my portfolio on Instagram to share! I also finished my Galapagos videos from December 2019 and now all of those are live on my YouTube channel which just went over 1.2 million views. https://www.youtube.com/user/WeSaidGoTravelLEARN A LANGUAGE: I recommended to a friend that she and her daughter study a language together during #safeathome. She said, “Why don’t you?” So I have now studied Spanish every day for 105 days on Duolingo app. That is 15 weeks.START SOMETHING NEW: I started a new series on my website, We Said Go Travel, called TELL ME MORE ABOUT to write about past trips because I did not have any new trips. https://www.wesaidgotravel.com/category/tell-me-more-about/ I thought it would be very easy because all of the photos, video, social and articles were already done but pulling all of it together for each trip was actually more work than I realized. I am glad I had the time to focus on it so now each journey is all on one url. I started a second new series called I REMEMBER WHEN: https://www.wesaidgotravel.com/category/i-remember-when/ so far I have I remember when we went cruising, diving and writing about travel stories.CONNECT: While we are #AloneTogether, I have been walking every afternoon around my block. Each day, I use that time to talk to a different friend. It has helped to hear what other people are focused on and reconnect.

From your experience or research what are steps that each of us can take to effectively offer support to those around us who are feeling anxious? Can you explain?
One thing I have noticed about this time of COVID19 is that each person has to manage quarantine their own way. I love this quote from Kevin Hart from I Can’t Make This Up: Life Lessons:
“Life is a story. It’s full of chapters. And the beauty of life is that not only do you get to choose how you interpret each chapter, but your interpretation writes the next chapter. It determines whether it’s comedy or tragedy, fairy tale or horror story, rags-to-riches or riches-to-rags. You can’t control the events that happen to you, but you can control your interpretation of them. So why not choose the story that serves your life the best?”
For myself, I have been focused on making small progress each day. I make a list in the afternoon of what are my priorities to do next. Some of my successes during this quarantine include:
Connect with new people: I have been a guest on 5 different podcasts during COVID including one for the University of Pennsylvania: Power of Penn Women https://pennmomentum.libsyn.com/lisa-niver-c89-travel-journalistGet Nominated: I am a FIVE TIME FINALIST for the Southern California Journalism Awards! I am a finalist for Online Journalist of the YEAR as well as nominated for print, digital and broadcast TV stories: https://www.wesaidgotravel.com/five-time-finalist-for-southern-california-journalism-awards-thank-you/Be Recognized: I was named one of the 10 Top Travel Influencers of 2020: https://afluencer.com/top-travel-influencers/Study: Many universities around the United States offer programs for senior scholars. At UCLA, those 50+ are invited to participate in the Senior Scholars Program at Longevity Center. https://www.semel.ucla.edu/longevity/senior-scholars-program-longevity-center I am taking two classes in the Film and TV department this summer with two fantastic professors. It is superb professional development for me and at this point of COVID19, anything new is good as well. I like showing up to our ZOOM classes, taking notes and learning!Ask for Help: During COVID, I have been working with a developmental editor on my book about my 50 challenges before I turned 50! I am using this time as a forced or gift of a writing retreat. I am working hard to turn all the lemons into sweet lemonade! I cannot wait to share my book with you.
What are the best resources you would suggest to a person who is feeling anxious?
Someone who is feeling anxious needs to share their feelings and get support as well as new coping strategies. I highly recommend finding a trusted professional counselor who can offer advice.
I have been listening to Oprah and Deepak’s 21 day meditation series for years. The app is called “21 Day Meditation Experience” by Chopra Enterprises. I find their series very helpful. When I used to travel all the time, I would often listen to this app when I was in the airport. Now I listen to them as I walk around the block in my neighborhood.
I think about this quote from Michelangelo that: “The greatest danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim is too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.”
How can you set your goals higher? At the end of quarantine, do you want to have learned a language? found a new job? discovered you love doing yoga every day? Having a big goal can help you get out of bed each day looking forward to the day.
Can you please give us your favorite “Life Lesson Quote”? Do you have a story about how that was relevant in your life?
I love this quote by Christine Caine:
“Sometimes when you’re in a dark place,
you think you’ve been buried.
But you’ve actually been planted.”
Bloom!
I have often thought in the past that I was a derailed train. I worried that I fell off the track when I left medical school or when my company disappeared days after September 11th, I worried that I was behind and that there was no way to catch up. I felt buried in Christine Caine’s quote but in reality I was getting ready to bloom!
Each change in my life and career has built on the one before. I am only able to do what I do now because of all of the experiences good and bad that came before.
You are a person of great influence. If you could start a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, what would that be? You never know what your idea can trigger.

Four hundred artists and 80 arts organizations received $2.7 million in total grants as part of a broad-based COVID-19 relief effort for the visual arts in the Los Angeles region, the J. Paul Getty Trust and the California Community Foundation announced on June 17, 2020. The emergency support was designed to reach individual artists throughout all areas of LA County and arts organizations that serve the region’s culturally diverse communities.
[image error]
“The arts are a source of expression, resistance, and healing,” says Joan Weinstein, director of the Getty Foundation, an operating program of the Getty Trust, which initiated the $10 million LA Arts COVID-19 Relief and Recovery Fund to help small and midsize visual arts organizations. “But our creative artists and arts organizations, who do so much to advocate for social change, will not survive this pandemic and its economic fallout if we don’t take action now to support them.”
[image error]
The economic impact of COVID-19 has been especially hard on small and midsize arts institutions. The pandemic also laid bare inequities in funding, particularly for organizations that serve communities of color. Smaller arts organizations tend to operate without any endowment funds or cash reserves. Yet they act as essential community anchors, supporting creative expression for artists of color, providing access to the arts for underserved groups, and offering arts education in schools and at their own sites. Even while their doors have been closed, many have worked hard to maintain their community bonds, hosting COVID-19 testing sites or food distribution centers on their premises.
After months of lost revenue, these organizations are struggling to maintain staff, provide safe galleries and workspaces that meet new health and safety standards, and still ensure meaningful arts participation for their communities when they reopen.
[image error]
The more than $2 million in emergency relief grants awarded to 80 visual arts nonprofits and museums provides support to meet urgent financial needs over the next three months, including staff salaries, rent, and emergency supplies to comply with public health measures. This basic operating support will also allow organizations some leeway to plan for reopening, restructuring, and collaboration. Innovation will be critical if these institutions want to continue their work.
“We’re going to have to become semi-experts in how to manage spaces and arts experiences through a public health lens,” says Betty Avila, executive director of the arts nonprofit Self Help Graphics & Art, which received an emergency grant.
Self Help has worked at the intersection of arts and social justice since 1973, serving its community in East Los Angeles by promoting local Chicana/o and Latinx artists. But Avila recognizes they won’t endure if they don’t adapt, and the COVID relief grant will start them on that path. “We cannot return to our work with a ‘back to business as usual’ perspective.” In the meantime, the emergency grant will help them cover operational expenses, including support for Self Help Graphics’ teaching artists.
The threats facing arts institutions extend to visual artists. Thousands saw their income evaporate as the museums and non-profit spaces that exhibit their work shuttered. Many also depend on part-time work as teaching artists or preparators who set up and take down exhibitions. Countless artists also survive on work in the gig economy. With high unemployment across the region, they are straining to find alternative sources of income.
The California Community Foundation and Getty responded by creating the Relief Fund for L.A. County Visual Artists. The Fund has provided emergency grants of up to $2000 each to 400 local artists who work in all visual arts disciplines. Artists who applied for grants were asked to demonstrate their artistic practice through an online presentation of their work and to describe their financial needs. Additional contributions came from a trio of local artist-endowed foundations: the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts, the Sam Francis Foundation, and the Shepard and Amanda Fairey Foundation. The artist relief fund is administered by the Center for Cultural Innovation.
“This crisis is a wake-up call to all Angelenos to support the organizations that provide access to the arts and the artists that inspire us to be resilient,” says Antonia Hernández, president and CEO of the California Community Foundation, which is administering the LA Arts COVID-19 Fund. “The emergency grants will reach a wide array of arts nonprofits and dedicated artists, but more help is needed. The demand for funds was far greater than the supply. We welcome others to join us in this effort to ensure the arts continue contributing to the cultural vitality and wellness of our region for the benefit of all residents.”
For over 30 years, Getty and CCF have been longtime collaborators in the arts, supporting one of the most prestigious fellowships for visual artists in the country, the biennial Fellowships for Visual Artists. The Fellowship, led by CCF, was created by an earlier endowment from the Getty and has grown with subsequent donations from CCF and individual donors. The LA Arts COVID-19 Relief and Recovery Fund was a natural extension of that partnership. The next phase of their work together will focus on recovery grants to help key museums and visuals arts organizations reimagine their operations in order to survive and thrive in the coming years. More information on recovery funds will be available before this fall.
Getty is a leading global arts organization committed to the exhibition, conservation, and understanding of the world’s artistic and cultural heritage. Working collaboratively with partners around the globe, the Getty Foundation, Getty Conservation Institute, Getty Museum and Getty Research Institute are all dedicated to the greater understanding of the relationships between the world’s many cultures. The Los Angeles-based J. Paul Getty Trust and Getty programs share art, knowledge, and resources online at Getty.edu and welcome the public for free at the Getty Center and the Getty Villa.
The Getty Foundation fulfills the philanthropic mission of the Getty Trust by supporting individuals and institutions committed to advancing the greater understanding and preservation of the visual arts in Los Angeles and throughout the world. Through strategic grant initiatives, the Foundation strengthens art history as a global discipline, promotes the interdisciplinary practice of conservation, increases access to museum and archival collections, and develops current and future leaders in the visual arts. It carries out its work in collaboration with the other Getty Programs to ensure that they individually and collectively achieve maximum effect. Additional information is available at www.getty.edu/foundation.
About The California Community Foundation
The California Community Foundation has served as a public, charitable organization for Los Angeles County since 1915, its mission is to lead positive systemic change that strengthens Los Angeles communities. CCF manages 1,700 charitable foundations, funds and legacies. For more information, please visit calfund.org.
