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.

In partnership with Ahavat Achim Synagogue, The Dupree invites you to a three-part Lunch & Learn series designed to help you approach Passover with greater understanding, confidence, and intention. Led by Ahavat Achim’s rabbis, each session explores a different dimension of the holiday—from the biblical roots of the Exodus to the structure and meaning of the Haggadah, and practical tools for creating a meaningful, engaging seder experience for all ages.

Israel's wars with Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran mark, in many ways, a high-water mark in U.S.-Israel strategic cooperation. But polling data and the explosive growth of attacks (verbal and physical) on Jews raise alarms about the future of the American Jewish community and the relationship with Israel. What might the future hold, and what can we do about it?

"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.
