Ahavath Achim Synagogue

Nesiah (7th–9th Grade) ⏺️
2025-11-09 09:30 - 12:30 (America/New_York) | Ahavath Achim Synagogue, 600 Peachtree Battle Ave NW, Atlanta, GA, 30327
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.

Hannah's Bake Sale - Supporting the Cerebral Palsy Foundation ⏺️
2025-11-09 13:00 - 16:00 | Private: The Enclave at Long Island, 6332-6304 Long Island Dr, Sandy Springs, GA, 30328, United States
As part of his preparation for his upcoming adult Bar Mitzvah on March 28, 2026 — which also coincides with his 50th birthday — Ryan Posner is focusing on Tikkun Olam: doing his part to help repair the world and strengthen the community.
For his Bar Mitzvah project, Ryan is supporting Hannah's Bake Sale, a community tradition that raises funds and awareness for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation. Hannah is Ryan's niece, and her older brother, Reid, started the bake sale nine years ago to support his sister and others living with Cerebral Palsy.
What began as a small neighborhood event has grown into a joyful annual tradition that's raised over $53,000 for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation — including a record $8,285 last year (even in the rain!). Every dollar goes directly toward research, treatment, and awareness for people with Cerebral Palsy.
Come enjoy an afternoon of homemade treats, cookie decorating, face painting, music, and the always-popular EPIC candy drop!
📅 Date & Time: Sunday, November 9, 1:00–4:00 PM
📍 Location: The Enclave at Long Island
(off Johnson Ferry Road, near The Epstein School)
💚 Donate: paypal.me/reidbakesale
All proceeds go directly to the Cerebral Palsy Foundation

Adult B'nai Mitzvah Course ⏺️
2025-11-12 19:00 - 20:00
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).
