Please join us as we host The Abraham Initiatives with Fay Twersky and Jill Savitt at The Temple.
You may not know The Abraham Initiatives by name, but you’ve almost certainly felt their impact. Their programs shape classrooms and campuses through partnerships with the Ministry of Education, Hand in Hand schools, Givat Haviva, and Mechinot (pre-military programs). In healthcare, they bring change from the ground up, collaborating with leading institutions like Rambam Medical Center, Sheba Medical Center, Ichilov, Hasharon Hospital, Belinson, Soroka, and more.
Co-CEOs Amnon Be'eri-Sulitzeanu and Shahira Shalaby will discuss shared society with Fay Twersky, Board Chair of the Van Leer Institute. Jill Savitt, CEO of the National Center for Civil and Human Rights will moderate.
The Van Leer Institute, a part of the Van Leer Foundation, incubates innovative ideas, tools, and strategies in support of shared society in Israel. The National Center for Civil and Human Rights is one of the most recognized moral voices of our time, and a vital part of Atlanta's civic fabric.

About The Spring
Vision
The Spring envisions a hub for community and culture in Atlanta. Engaging diverse neighbors, civic leaders, and cultural organizations, while proudly rooted in Jewish tradition and Jewish values.
Focused in Midtown, The Spring will be situated among Atlanta's premier institutions including the Woodruff Arts Center, the Center for Puppetry Arts, the Botanical Gardens, The Temple, SCAD—enriching an already vibrant neighborhood while both preserving and enhancing Jewish community presence in Atlanta. Further, Midtown is Atlanta's fastest-growing area. It is the epicenter of civic, business, political, cultural, and educational power in the metro.
This is a generational opportunity to build Jewish community, inspire the next generation of Atlantans, and build lasting connections between communities in our city.
What's Inside: Culture + Community
The Breman
Exploration invigorates the mind. The Spring will be anchored by a renewed Breman Museum in partnership with the renowned ANU-Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv.
The Breman's immersive gallery space will welcome visitors into Jewish Peoplehood and Israel Galleries. The legacy collections, Holocaust education and the Southern Jewish archival collection, will gain new context.
Visual and Performing Arts
New galleries will showcase photography and traveling exhibitions. A state-of-the-art theater will host film screenings and live arts performances—allowing the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival year-round screening. In addition to hosting independent theater companies, the theater will be a forum for dignitaries, authors, playwrights, storytellers, and thought leaders.
Food Hall
A curated food hall will feed visitors, residents, and the neighborhood. Audiences can stop for a glass of wine before attending a film or lecture. Families can grab lunch
Work + Recreation
Lounge and conference space available to non-profits, youth and community groups.
A multipurpose gymnasium with a basketball court will provide space for Maccabiah athletes young and old, as well as ample room for family programs and youth groups.
Residential
Market-rate housing in the metro's strongest commercial market provides ongoing revenue. Strategic amenities—food hall, theater, gymnasium, cultural center—along with walkability, access to transit, and urban vitality align with the lifestyle preferences of Midtown’s core demographic.
Impact
Access and Engagement
The Spring focus on community and culture provides access and engagement in spaces people already prefer and frequent.
Inclusive Living
Dedicated set-aside units for specific populations alongside market-rate creates a vibrant mixed community while ensuring inclusive housing options.
Sustainability
Long-term sustainability is ensured through a combination of market-rate housing revenue, class-A event spaces, and food hall commercial tenants alongside visionary philanthropy.
