2020 Hindsight: A pivotal moment in history, through the eyes of Atlanta’s Jewish women and girls is the first publication of its kind to capture the experiences of Jewish women and girls during this historic moment in time. This poignant collection of stories and poetry exudes a profound sense of personal discovery, depth and hope, recalling candid reflections of the struggles endured by women and girls in Atlanta’s Jewish community during a most challenging year. Writers ranging in age from 7-90, pulled back the curtain on their innermost thoughts to illuminate what’s really going on in their lives and offer powerful and provocative testimony.

Exhibitions

  • The Guiding Hand : An exhibition of Torah pointers

    We are pleased to present an important and intriguing exhibition of Torah pointers, objects central to Jewish prayer and ritual. Known by their Hebrew name, yads, these ceremonial yet practical instruments are used to keep one’s place in the Torah scroll when reading from its densely hand-lettered Hebrew text. The Guiding Hand: The Barr Foundation Judaica Collection of Torah Pointers is on view in The Breman’s newly updated Discovery Gallery from October 11 through December 2023.

  • History with Chutzpah : Stories of The Southern Jewish Adventure

    The 250+ artifacts, documents, photographs and oral histories in the exhibition, reveal stories from the generations before us and offer you a journey into Jewish culture unlike any other.
