About Temple Emanu-El

Temple Emanu-El was founded in 1978 by a daring group of Jewish families living on the north side of Atlanta. They pioneered a spiritual home for families to come together as a community in order to live a vibrant Jewish life. Our motto has always been, and continues to be: “Temple Emanu-El, where friends are family.”

Our Vision

Together we are building a congregation of thought-leaders, spiritual seekers, and engaged Jewish change-makers. Temple Emanu-El is infused with the dedication and hard work of its members. Our vision is guided by these essential principles:

o To discover beauty and joy through Jewish prayer, ritual, and observance
