This section follows holiday observances, synagogue community programs, the community's response to antisemitism, Jewish cultural events and studies of Jewish identity. Coverage reaches across Atlanta and into the surrounding communities wherever a Jewish story crosses the line. Holiday calendars drive a steady share of the year's stories, and the observances often draw families from across several movements at once. Interfaith programs and security concerns recur as much as the religious calendar does.
