The Atlanta Rabbinic Association (ARA) and the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta are gathering information about upcoming featured guests, including speakers, scholars, artists, and other presenters who will be visiting local Jewish organizations. The goal of this effort is to strengthen coordination across our community by sharing information, reducing unintended scheduling overlap, and identifying opportunities for collaboration.

In some cases, this may lead to sharing costs, co‑sponsoring programs, or arranging for a guest to visit more than one organization while in Atlanta. Even if you are not currently seeking collaboration, we encourage you to submit your speaker plans so that we can maintain clear communication and awareness across the Atlanta Jewish community. Please share this with fellow team members.

Please use Federation’s Partner Toolkit when we are partnering on an event with you.
