We’re building a community that has:

Camp-like spirit and haimish, relaxed vibes: Jewish joy is centered here – we embrace celebration, experimentation, and fun. Most programs are home-hosted or outdoors, cultivating warmth, intimacy, and connection with nature.

Shared leadership: We co-create with lay leaders, rabbis, and spiritual voices from across Atlanta.

More depth, less small talk: Events are designed to spark genuine and meaningful connection. 

Atlanta at the center: We serve people within intown Atlanta (loosely defined). Our geographic reality is that we are not in close proximity to our Jewish community, so we shift around where we gather. Part of the beauty of rotating locations is to spread the load on who needs to travel to get to events. 

Consistency you can count on: A steady rhythm of events so members can build this community into their lives.

Meaningful Jewish experiences for people of all ages: We aim to build something that people of all ages are excited to be a part of, regardless of how old you are or what life stage you’re in. A Jewish community that is too kid-centered leaves adults unfulfilled, and one that is too adult-centered leaves kids disengaged.

Embodied practice through music: Embodied practice is central: Judaism not only studied or debated, but sung, danced, and felt. Nigunim and participatory singing infuse our gatherings with joy. 

Community-driven, data-aware: We listen and adapt. We use feedback and reflection – both qualitative and quantitative – to understand what’s working and what’s not, so that we evolve to serve the community.

What We Value

A spirit of Here & Now: We are creating a Jewish community that feels alive, relevant, Atlanta-infused, and of this moment. Events are rooted in Jewish tradition, centering meaning-making and building connection, not stuck in forms that feel more like rote obligation. It is on us to figure out how to make Jewish practice relevant to life here, today. 

Pluralism and inclusivity of thought and practice: This is a Jewish group, but all are welcome and central to a thriving community. We make space for the full spectrum of Jewish identity: whether you're Jewish, Jew-ish, not Jewish, Jew-curious, partnered with a Jew, and/or just here for the Jew food. Our pluralism also extends to how we hold Israel and Palestine. We don’t take an official stance; rather, we believe in creating a Jewish space where people with different stories, connections, and convictions can be in real relationship with one another – with care, curiosity, and respect. Our focus is on loving different expressions of Jewish life by sharing meaningful time together. 

Connection with yourself and with something bigger than yourself: This community wants to help you experience a sense of belonging to something larger than yourself. That “something bigger” may be different for each person: it may be the chain of Jewish tradition, the shared story of humanity, your local community, the Divine Presence, and/or the natural world. However you name it, our purpose is to help you feel both deeply yourself and deeply connected to what’s beyond you.
