Sender Av-I have been to Atlanta twice (quite a number of years ago) and found it to be a delightful place. I didn’t get much of a chance to learn much about the Jewish community as I was accompanying my ex-hubby on a business convention. I did get quite a laugh at the one Jewish house of worship that I passed on Peachtree called “The Temple”. To this day, it makes me laugh to think of an unfortunate, unnamed, generic temple – almost as if when they were building it, they coudn’t afford a name.
As for Savannah, I was there about 7 years ago. For a small community, it does have a lot to offer. It is a great tourist spot with the oldest synagogue in the south. It does have at least 3 synagogues, a day school/JCC and, according to the American Jewish Federations, the Jews in Savannah donate more money per capita than any other Jewish community in the US – of course, the stats are at least 7 yrs. old, but still very amazing.
