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.

As we approach the High Holidays, we’re inviting you to try something new. Not just a one-night event — a full spiritual reset. Join us on Tuesday, September 16 for A Night of Intention and Renewal — the kickoff to a 30-day journey of personal growth, reflection, and realignment.
Led by Rabbi Josh Feigelson, President & CEO of the Institute for Jewish Spirituality and host of the podcast Soulful Jewish Living, this evening is more than a program — it’s your first step toward a more grounded, mindful, and spiritually connected start to 5786.

The story of Adam and Eve offers a powerful metaphor for the ways we try to escape our most painful emotions. Faced with shame and fear, they hide—just as we often hide from ourselves and from others rather than confronting those difficult feelings directly. This avoidance can trap us in harmful patterns, preventing us from growth.
Teshuva—the practice of returning—invites us to do the opposite. Instead of running away, we turn back: to ourselves, to one another, and to God.

Meaningful Connections
Our learning experiences forge meaningful connections not only to the program’s content but also to the individuals with whom you learn. You may arrive alone, but you’ll leave feeling more connected to Judaism, Israel, and your Jewish neighbors. Interactive discussion topics will facilitate connections and spark conversations that leave you thinking differently and wanting more.
Attention to Detail
The Dupree’s high-quality, inclusive experience begins the moment you sign up to the time you arrive on site. The entire encounter will be one of ease. You’ll hear speakers clearly and see them comfortably.
"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.
