Embark on a Transformative Jewish Journey
Are you seeking to connect more meaningfully to Judaism by being a link to the centuries-old tradition of reading the Torah? Join our transformative Adult Bnai Mitzvah course!
This one-year course will give you the opportunity to learn to read Hebrew and chant from the Torah, an experience that will connect you to the past generations (l'dor v'dor) of passing down the tradition of keeping the Torah alive through the weekly reading on Shabbat.
You will not only be connected to past generations but to Jews around the world, who read the same words in their communities in France, Russia, India, China, and everywhere Jews congregate in their communities, happening at the same time you are reading.
In the coming year, you will:

Learn the skills of reading Hebrew (while learning the meaning of keywords)
Learn how to chant the words from the Torah
Study the weekly text of the Torah (in English) to glean the rich stories that have shaped our tradition

No previous experience is required! Spaces are limited, so register today (link below).

Nesiah, Hebrew for "journey," is Ahavath Achim Synagogue's on-the-move program for 7th through 9th-grade students. Nesiah runs on a triennial curriculum, each year exploring a defining era in Jewish history and culminating with a memorable trip. The curriculum is uniquely designed to the needs of day school students and public-school students alike. As students gain a greater understanding of our shared Jewish history, they also learn more about their own identities and their families' stories.
The Nesiah program is generously endowed by the Judith and Aaron z"l Alembik Ahavath Achim Youth Education Program.

2026-02-22 09:30 - 12:30 | Ahavath Achim Synagogue, 600 Peachtree Battle Ave NW, Atlanta, GA, 30327
Kesher is Hebrew for "connection," and connection is at the center of everything we do. Kesher is Ahavath Achim Synagogue's Jewish school program for children Pre-K through 6th grade.
The Kesher program meshes Jewish holidays and values and children's interests into a child-centered, project-based curriculum. We believe in teaching children to view relationships and interactions with others and the environment through the lens of ten Jewish values (listed below). We create confident and curious Jewish learners in a safe space where they can take risks, question, play, learn, explore, engage, create, make meaning, and love. We foster the child's sense of Jewish self-discovery by providing a nurturing environment where each person can explore and create their own identity.
The Kesher program is generously endowed by the Judith and Aaron z"l Alembik Ahavath Achim Youth Education Program.
