Atlanta is home to a rich tapestry of Jewish learning and engagement opportunities. Yet, as a people with a 3,000-year history and a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives, we continue to seek new ways to connect with our past, make sense of the present, and shape a vibrant future.
Many of us who are already active in Jewish life are searching for something deeper—more knowledge, more meaningful connections, and greater access to today’s leading Jewish thinkers. We long for immersive learning experiences that inspire critical thinking, foster persistent questioning, and empower us to act with confidence. We want to meet new people who challenge our perspectives, enrich our lives, and reignite our sense of purpose.
For others, the events of October 7 sparked a renewed desire to better understand the situation in Israel or gain clarity on the alarming rise in global antisemitism.
And some of us feel distant from Jewish life—unsure how to reengage, hesitant to attend events alone, or uneasy in traditional Jewish spaces.
Wherever you are on your journey—whether you’re a lifelong learner, newly curious, or reconnecting with your Jewish identity—The Dupree offers a welcoming space for exploration and growth.
Join us for thought-provoking, high-quality Jewish and Israel education featuring respected speakers, educators, and leaders from across the Jewish spectrum.
Together, we will deepen understanding, strengthen community bonds, and inspire meaningful action to build a thriving Jewish future in Atlanta.

Each Rosh Hashanah, we crown God as sovereign—yet God is no flesh-and-blood ruler. In an age when we have rejected monarchies, what can divine kingship actually mean for us? As we approach the High Holidays, join Hadar’s Executive Vice President and native Atlantan, Rabbi Avi Killip, to celebrate one year of Hadar in Atlanta. Together, we’ll explore our tradition’s rich understanding of divine sovereignty and ask how this powerful spiritual frame can help us face the hardest, most broken parts of our world.

Israel's electoral system is unlike almost anything in the democratic world — and understanding it changes how you follow the news. Join the Atlanta JCRC for an accessible morning briefing with Ken Stein, longtime Emory professor of Middle Eastern history and Israel studies, on the mechanics of the Knesset, how coalitions are formed, and the tensions in Israeli society that surface every election cycle. No prior knowledge required — just bring your questions.

What does it really mean to lead with human dignity, resilience, or compassion—not just as ideals, but as daily practice?

"The real antidote to antisemitism is Jewish thriving."
In his 2023 article, Bret Stephens argues that antisemitism is not ours to solve. Instead, he urges us to focus on living proud, vibrant Jewish lives and on building a “flourishing, secure, and morally self-confident state of Israel.”
This perspective—combined with the urgency of current events—inspired Jewish leaders in Atlanta to create a new hub for learning, connection, and meaningful action.
