Most religious events such as High Holiday services and dinners and Passover seders take place on Emory University's campus. We also have home hospitality available. Depending on the school, we usually have some events on campus but we also have city wide and regional events at least once a month that include students from all the campuses that Atlanta YAD works with. Sometimes there is limited amount of space at an event and it may go first to the students who attend the university that is sponsoring the event, but even then, there is always a possibility to attend. Atlanta YAD works with Oglethorpe University students to sponsor programs on campus.
Students also participate in city wide events with students from around the metro area.
In addition, Emory is only 6 miles away, so students from Oglethorpe are always welcome to come to events on Emory's campus as well. Yad is the Hebrew word for hand, symbolizing the hand which we offer in reaching out to Jewish young adults in and around Atlanta. Jessica Klein, the Metro Campus Program Director, will help you find a ride by introducing you to other students on campus who go to the events. She will always do her best to make sure that this is never a reason that you don't come. All students are welcome to all services and dinners that Atlanta YAD sponsors.
