Welcome to New Toco Shul
NTS is an intellectually vibrant, family friendly Orthodox synagogue. We are founded on the ideas that every individual has unique abilities and perspectives, that we are obligated to share our talents with others, and that our community is strongest when our members contribute to its success and well-being. Our rabbinic and lay partners work together to provide a platform for sophisticated and nuanced Torah, reflective and meaningful Tefillah, and supportive and enriching Gemilut Chassadim.

Insatiable curiosity, and a life story that mirrored Rabbi Akiva’s, was the driving force for Jewish journalist Suzi Brozman
Suzanne (“Suzi”) Maureen Heddy Hirsch Brozman of Atlanta, Georgia passed away Wednesday, April 7, 2021. She was 74 years old. Born in Jacksonville, FL on Jan. 16, 1947 to Ralph and Raevenna Hirsch, she graduated from the University of Florida, Gainesville. A true lifelong learner, Suzi sought out courses wherever they were offered, most especially at Emory University, where she befriended professors and administrators alike at the various schools. Her insatiable curiosity led her to a career in journalism, winning a First Place Simon Rockower prize (the “Jewish Pulitzer”) in 2006 for her piece, “A Prescription for Faith,” in the Atlanta Jewish Times. She took special interest in studying her Judaism, attending courses with many local rabbis across the denominational spectrum, and spent 2008-09 studying at Pardes Institute in Jerusalem. But Suzi’s pursuits were not strictly intellectual; she was an expert cook, and she loved crafts, teaching herself pottery, stained glassmaking, and glass jewelry-making which she fashioned and gave to her many friends across Atlanta and beyond. Over the last fifteen years, she became very involved in Congregation Ohr Hatorah (formerly Young Israel of Toco Hills) where her presence and contributions were immediately felt, and more recently in New Toco Shul, where she was a founding board member. She participated regularly in the daf yomi group at both synagogues, studying a page of Talmud daily and asking keen questions for many years. Suzi is survived by her son, Bryan and brother, Gerald R. Hirsch. You may sign the online guest book on this page. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Tam Institute for Jewish Studies at Emory University or New Toco Shul. (Written by Rabbi Dr. Michael Berger.)
