    I agree with Melissa P. It's a solidly Conservative movement congregation with an open mind, which…read moreis perfect for me. There is some quality programming, and they actively pursue young adults. It was refreshing to see a congregation so welcoming to single people without kids! If you want to be included in a leadership role, that is surprisingly accessible given the size of the congregation. I joined this fall, and I co-lead the AAbsolute Unplugged service, am in the choir, and have read Torah. There's a young adult group called "YA'ALL" you can get involved with too. I can't say enough good things about Rabbi Sandler and Rabbi Rosenthal. They're different from one another, and between the two of them they pretty much cover anything you could want in a rabbi. Even so, they work so well together and play off each other. Even Saturday morning Shabbat services have something for everyone. Traditional service, Torah study, Meditation service! Meditation service is small and great for getting to know people. Kiddush luncheon afterward. The regular Shabbat crowd is lots of fun. I come from a small congregation so I was intimidated at first. But please come and introduce yourself. If nothing else, come to Unplugged and say hi!

    A very old and established Conservative Temple in rich Buckhead with many changes as Rabbi's come…read moreand go. Now Senior Rabbi Rosenthal is very smart but much more negative, harsh, outspoken & controversial to many, more liberal and opinionated some say. Some longterm Members have left or not very active anymore some say. Last Senior Rabbi Sanders more warm and friendly & menchy. Rabbis should be nice & menchy...

    I just read a review from 2017 regarding Canter Adesnik who is no longer working at the synagogue…read morefor the last 3 years. We now have a cantorial soloist, Jessica Tillium who has a lovely voice and does not have the opera back that Cantor Adesnick had. Since the start of COVID-19, the sound system has improved greatly due to all of the live streaming that is done for people unable to travel to services as well as Chevrah Torah and other educational classes. I think the rabbis and staff do an excellent job of making the shul feel inclusive. At the beginning of services, we are asked to turn to a person(s) sitting near us to introduce ourselves to each other. Many of the people have personal name tags they wear who support Temple Emanu-El. There are temporary name tags for those people who are guests and members. I don't think it can get much more Hamish as it already is. Temple Emanu El reaches out to the surrounding community, other synagogues, churches, and the underprivileged who are trying to start their lives over again from the Mary Freedom Hall and local food pantry, non-profit thrift stores, The synagogue community does many more acts of justice and repairing the world. Come visit us on Friday evenings at 7:30 for Shabbat Services.

    I have felt at home here since I walked through the doors. Everyone is so warm and welcoming. It is…read morebig enough to have something for everyone, but small enough for me to feel comfortable. I think this is very unique for a Reform synagogue in Atlanta. My kids love the religious school. If you are looking for a synagogue, you should definitely visit Temple Emanu-El.

    A lovely place tucked away from the hustle and bustle of life. I went on a whim because I was…read morereading a book that had a monk as a character. It made me curious whether there was a monastery near me. First stop was at the Visitor Center where I watched the 20 minute video that gave the monastery's history and a sense of the daily lives of the monk. Afterward, I checked out the exhibition which gave the history of monasticism and concluded in the barn. The exhibition in this space reinforces the 20 minute video. Then I meandered outside to take the "contemplative walk" to the church (that's what its called) which took about 5-7 minutes. The i side of the church is beautiful in its simplicity. You can't really wander in here as they have a wooden barrier that blocks off visitor access. I sat in one of the pews and took in the beauty of the church and the stained glass window. Then I took the contemplative walk back to the Visitor Center and the Abbey Gift shop and cafe. On the walk, I was accompanied by a young man who was there for one of the retreats. We chatted and it was lovely. The gift shop is great offering plenty of books on various religious topics and other items like crosses, rosaries, coffee mugs, and homemade goods. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and highly recommend especially for those wanting to learn the history or enjoy the beauty of nature or to contemplate whatever is going on in their life. I will definitely be back as I'm interested in their retreats. As a writer, I like the idea of being in nature and a quiet space to create.

    Very spiritual and peaceful environment. Various retreats are offered that nourish the soul,…read morewonderful gift shop and baked goods made by the monks. Nearby walking trails and a beautiful lake with geese surrounded by nature.
