Join us as AJC Atlanta, in partnership with State Rep. Esther Panitch (D-51), State Rep. Todd Jones (R-25), and DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Stacey Hydrick, hosts the 3rd Annual Georgia Legislature and Judiciary Welcome Shabbat in synagogues across the state. This special event aims to warmly welcome Georgia legislators, local elected officials, and judges to mark the beginning of the legislative session. 

We invite you to immerse yourself in the rich Shabbat experience by participating in meaningful services and breaking bread with fellow community members. Embrace the spirit of unity and engagement as we come together to celebrate and connect.

AJC is excited to continue this important program, which in past years has brought together more than 500 individuals, including dozens of legislators, local elected officials, and judges from diverse backgrounds and representing multiple religions. The dynamic gathering continues to transcend political boundaries, fostering dialogue and collaboration among individuals from both sides of the aisle. It showcases the power of unity and the ability to bridge differences through community.

By joining us, you not only contribute to the continuation of this tradition, but also play a vital role in strengthening bonds. Don't miss the chance to be part of a meaningful experience that goes beyond the table, leaving a lasting impact on our shared understanding and connection.

AJC is a 501(c)(3) non-partisan organization that neither endorses nor opposes candidates for elected office. This program is not a fundraiser.
