    Inside the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta is a little museum dedicated to Jewish heritage. They have temporary exhibits; one - "Eighteen Artifacts: A Story of Jewish Atlanta" - was particularly interesting to me, because I wasn't very familiar with the history of Jews in Atlanta. There's some information about the lynching of Leo Frank in 1915, the bombing of the Temple in 1958, and other important events to the Atlanta Jewish community. It was fascinating! A permanent collection - "The Absence of Humanity: The Holocaust Years" - deals with the history of the Holocaust more generally. It was much larger and in depth than I would have guessed, but none of the videos worked. There were thousands of photographs, however, many of which I had never seen before. It was an interesting and sobering exhibition. The museum/Federation has a gift store, and it's well worth a visit. They have a lot of books on the Atlanta Jewish community as well as jewelry, gifts, and other items. This small museum is well worth a visit! (Note: Because the museum is located inside the gates of the Federation, you'll have to ring the bell to have a security guard inside let you in. There's ample parking though!)

    Educational and moving. The exhibit on the history of Atlanta's Jewish community is great.

    It had an exhibit on the Holocaust that was also a tribute to the individuals whose lives were destroyed.

    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.
