About The Temple
The Temple is located in midtown Atlanta and is one of American Judaism’s most historic religious institutions. Founded in 1867, it is the city’s oldest and most diverse synagogue.
Breman Education Center
The main goal of our education program is to help our students form a positive Jewish identity that will grow and remain strong throughout the years. This identity will enable students to interact in the modern world as Jews, proud of their Jewish heritage.
Lifecycles
The Temple is an extended family, and like any family, we are excited to be part of the major milestones in our members lives. At every stage of life, from its beginning to its end, the clergy are available to assist. What do you do? What kinds of ceremonies are available to mark these occasions? What is the Jewish method of addressing these life cycle events? We are here to help you . . .
Worship
The central purpose of any synagogue is the development of Jewish spirituality. The Temple believes we best serve God through a pluralistic approach to worship, allowing for the personal experience of prayer to coexist alongside a welcoming spiritual environment for the entire community.
Social Justice
The Temple is a premiere social action congregation in Atlanta as well as a model for the Reform Movement. We achieve this distinction through our wide array of mitzvah opportunities, educational programs, and community involvement, led by a partnership of professional and lay leaders and an engaged membership.
Community
Our engagement team strives to connect every member of the Temple to the community. They're the ones that make The Temple feel like home to anyone who walks in the door!

JanJanuary 27 , 2021Virtual Tu B'Shvat Seder. Zoom.
Wednesday, Jan 27th 6:30p to 7:30p
Join in our celebration of Tu B’Shvat, the Jewish New Year of the trees. We will partake in the different fruits and grains native to the Land of Israel, known as the “Seven Species” and enjoy a mixing of the wines, a symbol for blending our own needs with those of our communal sustainability. A short shopping list will be provided to all who register. This celebration of our relationship to nature is also a call to action. It is a time of education and reflection to look at our impact on the world around us and consider our role towards shmirat ha’adamah, protecting our planet. During this time we will also engage with each other in small group discussion for reflections on our personal connection to the land.
