Congregation Shearith Israel

Join us in prayer and remembrance of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem as we observe the 9th of Av on Saturday evening, July 21. We will share Seudah Shlishit, the third meal of Shabbat, and chant Eicha, the Book of Lamentations, outside in the courtyard. The pre-fast meal will be held at 8:15pm, followed by Ma'ariv and Eicha at 9:15pm.

Join us Friday evening, July 27, for a very casual, fun and family-friendly potluck dinner at Lake Claire Park (430 Lakeshore Drive NE Atlanta, GA 30307)! Featuring a Shabbat sing-a-long led by Rabbi Kaiman, a nice vegetarian-friendly meal, and a lovely evening socializing with your Shearith Israel family. This event is for all ages, from our young families to our Lifetime Members to prospective members. See you at the park!

For more than 100 years, we have served Atlanta by providing a rich environment for pursuing Jewish spirituality, learning, and friendship. Our congregation embraces its members and friends, and we look forward to having you join us for Shabbat or an upcoming event. Shalom!
