Atlanta Chevre Minyan
Contact: Erin Thaler, Planning Committee Member
Vision: Chevre means a community of friends. Our name, the Atlanta Chevre Minyan, expresses our vision to build a warm, welcoming, pluralistic, cohort of Jewish young adults within metro-Atlanta who are deepening their connection and commitment to Judaism through the creation of meaningful prayer services and a cohesive community.
Mission: To engage the spiritual and social needs of the untapped Jewish young adults of metro-Atlanta by hosting monthly Friday night prayer services that are inclusive of the community and guided by principles of Jewish law.
Guiding Principles:
Communal Leadership
We encourage all minyan attendees to lead components of the Friday night prayer service (Kabbalat Shabbat, a D'var Torah, or Ma'ariv) and provide supportive mentorship.
Spirited Prayer
Hospitality
Traditional Egalitarian Principles
Within the parameters of Jewish Law, prayer services are community-inclusive. Both men and women are encouraged to take on leadership roles.
