Join us for a four-part virtual series tracing the arc of Jewish life in America — from the founding ideals that bound Jews to the American story, to the political, cultural, and generational forces testing that relationship today.

Each Rosh Hashanah, we crown God as sovereign—yet God is no flesh-and-blood ruler. In an age when we have rejected monarchies, what can divine kingship actually mean for us? As we approach the High Holidays, join Hadar’s Executive Vice President and native Atlantan, Rabbi Avi Killip, to celebrate one year of Hadar in Atlanta. Together, we’ll explore our tradition’s rich understanding of divine sovereignty and ask how this powerful spiritual frame can help us face the hardest, most broken parts of our world.

Israel's electoral system is unlike almost anything in the democratic world — and understanding it changes how you follow the news. Join the Atlanta JCRC for an accessible morning briefing with Ken Stein, longtime Emory professor of Middle Eastern history and Israel studies, on the mechanics of the Knesset, how coalitions are formed, and the tensions in Israeli society that surface every election cycle. No prior knowledge required — just bring your questions.

What does it really mean to lead with human dignity, resilience, or compassion—not just as ideals, but as daily practice? Join Hadar's Atlanta Director, Rabbi Ayal Robkin, for a lunchtime series designed for professionals across the Jewish nonprofit world. Bring your own dairy, vegan, or parve lunch as we turn to classical Jewish texts and your own experience to deepen the character and conviction behind the work you already do.

As Israel heads toward pivotal elections in October 2026, join Rabbi Yitz Tendler (Congregation Beth Jacob) and Rabbi Natan Trief (Temple Sinai) for a three-part series exploring how Israeli democracy works, who's shaping its future, and what comes next.

President George Washington's letter to the Newport Hebrew Congregation is rightly famous, but the story behind it is less known. Join us as Rabbi Meir Soloveichik traces how Washington came to write three letters to America's Jewish community, and what the Newport letter teaches us about leadership, American exceptionalism, and defending the nation's unique conception of religious liberty today.
