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 the wake of October 7, Jewish philanthropy is facing profound questions about priorities, responsibility, and long-term impact. In this Lunch & Learn, Andrés Spokoiny—President and CEO of the Jewish Funders Network—offers a look at how the philanthropic landscape is shifting, what these changes mean for Jewish institutions and leaders, and how funders and professionals can navigate the road ahead with strategic clarity and moral purpose. This session invites thoughtful reflection on the role of philanthropy in moments of crisis and transformation, and how it can continue to strengthen Jewish life in uncertain times

For many parents and grandparents, questions about Jewish identity, meaning, and continuity feel more urgent—and more complex—than ever. In this thoughtful conversation, Zack Bodner invites participants to explore the deeper “why” behind Jewish life today, and why those questions matter so profoundly for the next generation. Together, we’ll reflect on values, belonging, and purpose, offering language and perspective to help parents and grandparents engage in meaningful conversations with their adult children and grandchildren about what it means to live a Jewish life in a changing world.

Conversations about Israel have become increasingly charged, emotional, and difficult—especially across generations. In this timely program, Gil Troy helps parents and grandparents move beyond talking points toward thoughtful, grounded engagement rooted in history, values, and care for family relationships. This session offers context, perspective, and practical guidance for staying present and connected when Israel comes up, even amid a noisy and polarized world.

This series is for professionals in the Jewish non-profit world (Jewish Atlanta ecosystem) seeking to deepen their foundation in core Jewish values. Each session focuses on a specific value - like Human Dignity, Resilience, or Compassion - using classical Jewish texts and your voices to deepen our understanding of these crucial concepts. All this to further infuse the important work you already do with depth and reflection. We will explore these values not just intellectually, but as essential character traits, or dispositions, that define effective, ethical, Jewishly oriented leadership.

"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.
