Shalom b’Harim שָׁלוֹם בֶּהָרִים – Peace in the Mountains – would like to invite our multiple faith neighbors to learn about our Jewish beliefs and traditions by participating in an experiential Shabbat (Sabbath) service on Saturday, November 22, from 10:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. at Unity of Gainesville, 3415 Stancil Road in Gainesville.
Our synagogue is committed to building relationships and fellowship together with the diverse, wider faith community throughout the North Georgia Mountains. We are inclusive of all who wish to be part of our thriving, enriching Jewish community, committed to the principles and Jewish values of Tikkun Olam תִּיקּוּן עוֹלָם – “repairing the world.”
During our service, our Rabbi (Rabbi Matan Peled) will lead us in worship while explaining the components of the service and what they mean. We invite you to experience our worship service, ask questions, and celebrate Shabbat שַׁבָּת with us. A light dessert reception will follow the service.
You can register with this link.

About Us
We are an inclusive, not exclusive, synagogue that attracts participants from Reform Jewish services, Conservative Jewish services and Orthodox traditions – both Ashkenazi and Sephardic heritages. We meet monthly for Shabbat services at Unity of Gainesville and offer annual High Holidays services and a congregational Passover Seder. We are strongly committed to Tikkun Olam – repairing the world – through ongoing support of Georgia Mountain Food Bank and other activities. We celebrate the diversity of all people and are committed to creating a spiritual home where everyone is welcomed, affirmed, and valued. We have no dues structure and depend on the generosity of our participants to support our operations. We can be found on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
Shalom b’Harim is a welcoming Jewish synagogue in North Georgia. We invite you to explore our services and join our commitment to community and Tikkun Olam.
