About Atlanta

Atlanta is the capital of, and the most populous city in, the U.S. state of Georgia. With an estimated 2017 population of 486,290. Prior to the arrival of European settlers in north Georgia, Creek Indians inhabited the area.[27] Standing Peachtree, a Creek village where Peachtree Creek flows into the Chattahoochee River, was the closest Indian settlement to what is now Atlanta. In 1836, the Georgia General Assembly voted to build the Western and Atlantic Railroad in order to provide a link between the port of Savannah and the Midwest. Atlanta has a humid subtropical climate with the seasons more or less defined, although the winter has a shorter duration, with hot and humid summers and mild winters. Atlanta has a dynamic, distinctly Southern, culture. Atlanta is one of few United States cities with permanent, professional, and resident companies in all major performing arts disciplines. As of 2010, Atlanta is the seventh-most visited city in the United States, with over 35 million visitors per year.

Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Atlanta

The most popular areas around Atlanta for Jewish people are Toco Hills, and Sandy Springs these are locations in the North and North East of the City. Other popular areas are Brookhaven, Virginia/Highlands and Dunwoody. Many of the population of about 120,000 comes from outside of Georgia often from New York. There is very little Jewish activity in downtown Atlanta these days. In its early decades, the Jewish community was largely made up of German Jewish immigrants who quickly assimilated and were active in broader Atlanta society. The first two known Jewish settlers, Jacob Haas and Henry Levi, opened a store together in 1846. By 1850, 10% of Atlanta stores were run by Jews, who only made up 1% of the population and largely worked in retail, especially in the sale of clothing and dry goods. Many early Jewish settlers, however, did not end up settling permanently in Atlanta, and turnover in the community was high.

What Is *JOFY?

JOFY, or "Jewish Observant Friendly" Establishments are lodging establishments offering special services for Jewish Observant guests such as Shabbat meals, accommodation on lower floors and regular keys for the rooms. It can also be a NON KOSHER establishment located in walking distance from the local Shul, community or kosher restaurants area.

Please note - *JOFY does NOT mean that KOSHER food is served on the premises!
