Rabbi Alvin Sugarman participated in the struggle for Civil Rights, was a senior rabbi at the Temple –Atlanta’s oldest synagogue- and he starred as the Temple’s rabbi in the Oscar winning “Driving Miss Daisy”. He appears rather media savy but his granddaughter, Amanda Hirsch, had prepared questions he probably wasn’t used to answering in front of a microphone. Amanda asked him about his school days, favorite games, best childhood friends and his faith. At the end of the interview she told her grandfather how much she loved spending time with him and listening to his stories.
