Belonging is about building something greater than ourselves.
Help build a Jewish life that cares for your whole self:
mind, body and spirit.

In 2020, Ma’alot was born — a new kind of Jewish spiritual community in Atlanta, designed to complement our city’s vibrant ecosystem while reaching those who hadn’t yet found a spiritual home. We began with a simple invitation: to gather across difference and rediscover what Jewish life could feel like when it’s rooted in belonging, reflection, and care.
Ma’alot has always been built by and for a wide circle of seekers — diverse individuals and interfaith families, kids and adults of all ages, queer and trans people, Jews of color and white Jews, religious and secular Jews, and anyone — Jewish or not— drawn to exploring Jewish wisdom, music, and nature.
Now Ma’alot is becoming a spiritual wellness community that offers Wisdom Circles, Shabbat gatherings, and retreats for renewal. If our mission and vision resonate with you, or you’ve come to appreciate the opportunities we create, we invite you to become a core support as a Ma’alot Builder, Spirit Sustainer, or Wellness Partner.
Builders help guide Ma’alot’s direction and invest in the relationships and experiences that make our community thrive. Joining as a Builder means saying yes to a Jewish life that is alive, inclusive, and grounded in care — for self, one another, and the world.
