OUR MISSION The Atlanta Jewish Times’ mission is to create a strong sense of community that brings a diverse and geographically dispersed Jewish Atlanta together. We fulfill that goal by timely distribution of local news and vital national Jewish and Israeli news; supporting area synagogues, nonprofit and cultural activities and events; announcing simchas and other lifecycle events; encouraging thought-provoking dialogue and debate on current issues; and reinforcing the bonds of Jewish family, culture and tradition. The AJT is free online and through social media and during the pandemic, free for home delivery. We hope you have enjoyed that special convenience during this difficult time and will choose to continue your subscription, which supports our mission. To subscribe, visit www.atlantajewishtimes.com/subscribe-to-home-delivery, or call 404-883-2130. We present our 2020 Guide to Jewish Atlanta. The AJT’s resource guide helps our community stay connected and is a great resource, along with being a Who’s Who for our nonprofit, synagogue, school, businesses and larger kehillah. The best part about using this guide is that it reminds us we are one big mishpachah. In addition to this print version, there’s an online resource directory for viewing throughout the year within the Atlanta Jewish Connector, www. Michael AtlantaJewishConnector.com. Many consult the Morris Connector for event planning as well as to learn Publisher what is happening around Atlanta socially, spiritually, educationally, artistically and culturally. It also can be accessed for networking and to assist with holiday celebrations, to name a few of its varied uses. Behind each calendar event is an organization with detailed information our community (services, location and leaders). This year’s resource guide adds 58 new companies and organizations to its registry. As comprehensive as we try to be, there will always be an organization that we inadvertently leave out or is new to the community. Please let us know if you’d like to be included in next year’s guide or added immediately to the online resource directory at publisher@AtlJewishTimes.com or 404-883-2130, extension 100.

2020-2021/5781 SEPTEMBER 2020 Fri 18 Sep | Erev Rosh Hashana Sat 19 Sep – Sun 20 Sep | Rosh Hashana 5781 – Rosh Hashanah is literally the head of the Jewish year and the birthday of all of creation. It commemorates the creation of Adam and Eve, the first humans. Man was the first to acknowledge G-d’s kingship over the universe, and on Rosh Hashanah we renew this commitment to G-d’s commandments.
Mon 21 Sep | Fast of Gedaliah On the third of Tishrei, we commemorate the assassination of Gedaliah ben Achikam, governor of the First Jewish Commonwealth in the Holy Land. The result of his assassination was the end of Jewish autonomy in the Land of Israel.
Sun 27 Sep | Erev Yom Kippur Mon 28 Sep | Yom Kippur Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. It is a day of spiritual cleansing: We acknowledge our shortcomings and transgressions with a firm resolution for a better future; G-d promises us forgiveness, and the chance for a fresh start. We refrain from work, and avoid any food or drink as well as washing, using oils or lotions, marital relations and regular (leather) shoes.

OCTOBER 2020 Fri 2 Oct | Erev Sukkot Sat 3 Oct – Fri 9 Oct | Sukkot The name Sukkot is derived from the word Sukkah or hut. In commemoration of the protective “clouds of glory” with which G-d surrounded the Jewish people on their way out of Egypt, we live in makeshift huts during the seven days of this holiday.
JEWISH HOLIDAYS 2020-2021/5781 DECEMBER 2020 Thur 10 Dec | Erev Chanukah
Fri 11 Dec – Fri 18 Dec | Chanukah The kindling of the menorah is the focal point of the Chanukah holiday, symbolizing religious freedom and the strength of the Jewish spirit. The menorah is kindled on each of the eight nights of Chanukah, this year beginning Dec. 10. The menorah is placed at the left side of a central doorway of the home or at the front window. The candles should be lit immediately following sunset and should be prepared so that they will remain lit for at least a half hour after dusk. In keeping with Shabbat observance, the menorah is lit before the Shabbat candles on Friday evening and after the Havdalah ceremony at the end of Shabbat. Gather all family members and light the shamash, the service candle. Recite the proper blessings and then light the candles beginning from the left. Then place the shamash in its designated place, separated from the other candles.
Fri 25 Dec| Fast of 10th of Tevet In the year 3336 from Creation (425 B.C.E.) on the 10th day of Tevet the armies of Nebuchadnezzar laid siege to Jerusalem. This led to the destruction of the Temple on 9 Av of 3338. As a result, the Jewish people were exiled to Babylonia for 70 years.
JANUARY 2021 Thur 28 Jan | Tu B’Shevat In Jewish tradition, the 15th day of Shevat marks the “New Year” for the trees, opening the season in which trees begin to bud in the Holy Land. It is customary to celebrate this date by enjoying some fruit, especially the five fruits mentioned in the Torah in connection with Israel: grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and dates.
FEBRUARY 2021 Thur 25 Feb | Erev Purim Fri 26 Feb | Purim The actual story of Purim, as told in the scroll of Esther, is as fascinating and spellbinding as any best-seller. Yet, though it is scared scripture, we do not find the name of G-d mentioned even once. But within the intricate details of the megillah, we can detect the unmistakable hand of Divine Providence. The closer we examine the story, the more we discover that even seemingly insignificant events are precisely arranged by the hand of the Almighty.

APRIL 2021 Mon 26 Apr | Pesach Sheni When the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, this day offered a second chance to offer the Passover sacrifice for those who had been unable to bring their offering at the appropriate time.
Fri 30 Apr | Lag B’Omer On this date, in the early 2nd century, the students of Rabbi Akiva, the greatest sage of that era, ceased to die from an epidemic. Years later on this same date, his student Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, Mishnaic sage and author of the Zohar (the seminal work of Kabbalah) passed away. Having fulfilled his mission in this world, he asked that the anniversary of his death be celebrated as a joyous occasion. Throughout the Land of Israel – and indeed in Jewish communities throughout the world – this day is marked with festivities and bonfires. In particular, thousands journey to rejoice in the town of Meron, the site of Rabbi Shimon’s resting place.
MARCH 2021 Sat 27 Mar | Erev Pesach Sun 28 Mar – Sun 4 Apr | Pesach (Passover) On Pesach (Passover) we celebrate the birth of the Jewish nation with our miraculous redemption from Egypt. Pesach is observed by refraining from eating or even owning any foods which are chametz (leavened) and by participating in a seder dinner on the first two nights of the holiday.
THE SEDER The Pesach seder, conducted each of the first two nights of Pesach, is the central event of the Passover festival. We drink four cups of wine (or grape juice), remembering the redemption and its four stages. We ask the “Four Questions” and recite the haggadah, retelling the story of Passover and the miracles of our redemption.
MAY 2021
We eat shmurah matzah, the plain unleavened bread which isn’t allowed to rise, remembering both the simple bread of slaves and the swiftness of the redemption from Egypt.
Sun 16 May | Erev Shavuot
We eat maror (bitter herbs) remembering the bitterness of the enslavement.
THE LAST DAY OF PESACH The eighth and final day of Pesach is associated with the ultimate redemption through Moshiach and our fervent hope for its imminent arrival. In many communities, a festive “Moshiach meal” is organized toward the evening to emphasize this day’s special dimension.
Mon 17 May – Tues 18 May | Shavuot Shavuot celebrates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. It is on this day that we became G-d’s “chosen people,” and G-d formed a bond with us that will never be broken.
SHAVUOT OBSERVANCES All-night Torah study is practiced on the first night of Shavuot. This is the best preparation for receiving the Torah. Reading of the Ten Commandments occurs in the synagogue on the first day of Shavuot. Bring your children too! A festive dairy meal is served on the first day of Shavuot. Like milk for an infant, we receive our spiritual nourishment from the Torah.

JEWISH HOLIDAYS 2020-2021/5781 JUNE 2021 Sun 27 Jun | Fast of 17 Tammuz The 17th of Tammuz commemorates the breach of the walls of Jerusalem by the Romans, in 69 C.E., after a lengthy siege. This led to the destruction of the second Temple on the 9th of Av.
JULY 2021 Sat 17 Jul | Erev Tisha B’Av Sun 18 Jul | Tisha B’Av The ninth of Av has been a sad day on the Jewish calendar from the earliest days of our history as a people. Just one year after our forefathers left Egypt, it was on this date that G-d punished that generation, decreeing that they would wander the desert for 40 years, never entering into the Holy Land. The focus of our mourning, however, is on the destruction on this date of both the first Temple (422 B.C.E.) and the second Temple (68 C.E.).
Sat 24 Jul | Tu B’Av Said Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel: There were no greater festivals for Israel than the 15th of Av and Yom Kippur. On these days the daughters of Jerusalem would go out ... and dance in the vineyards. And what would they say? “Young man, raise your eyes and see which you select for yourself...” (Talmud, Taanit 26b)
AUGUST 2021 Mon 9 Aug – Mon 6 Sep | The Month of Elul Sat 28 Aug | Leil Selichot
SEPTEMBER 2021 Mon 6 Sept | Erev Rosh Hashanah Tue 7 Sept - Wed 8 Sept | Rosh Hashanah Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. It is the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, and a day of judgment and coronation of G-d as king. Rosh Hashanah observances include candle lighting in the evenings, festive meals with sweet delicacies during the night and day, prayer services that include the sounding of the ram’s horn (shofar) on both mornings, and desisting from creative work. Thur Sept 9 | Fast of Gedaliah Wed 15 Sept | Erev Yom Kippur Thur 16 Sept - Wed 8 Sept | Yom Kippur Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year, the day on which we are closest to G-d and to the quintessence of our own souls. It is the Day of Atonement: “For on this day He will forgive you, to purify you, that you be cleansed from all your sins before G-d” (Leviticus: 16:30). Mon 20 Sept | Erev Sukkot Tue 21 Sept - Mon 27 Sept | Sukkot The seven days of Sukkot, celebrated by dwelling in the sukkah, incorporating the four kinds of plants and rejoicing, are followed by Simchat Torah. Sukkot, when we expose ourselves to the elements in greenery-covered huts, commemorates G-d sheltering our ancestors as they traveled from Egypt to the Promised Land. The four kinds of plants used express our unity and our belief in G-d’s omnipresence. Coming after the solemn high holidays, it is a time of joy and happiness.
