City overview

Orthodox Jewish Atlanta centers on Toco Hills, a neighborhood in the northeast of the city where the major shuls, the kosher restaurants, the kosher supermarket and most of the community's institutions sit inside one eruv. Around it, smaller Orthodox hubs have grown up in Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Brookhaven and East Cobb, each with its own shul or Chabad house. Nearly all kosher establishments in Atlanta are certified by the Atlanta Kashruth Commission (AKC). Outside the Orthodox neighborhoods, the city's attractions are spread across a wide metro area, so a car (or rideshare) makes a visit much easier.
