The Jewish community of Atlanta was strongly impacted when Judaica Corner in the Toco Hills neighborhood closed its doors. The popular store, which had served as the city’s go-to site for gifts, books, yom tov, Shabbat, and simcha needs, had been a longtime staple for Atlantans who appreciated the experience of selecting Judaica in a local, welcoming store where they were familiar with the sales staff and enjoyed meandering among the shelves where they could personally see, touch, select, and take home with them a “Chai’ or Magen David necklace, multi-colored havdallah candles, challah covers, decorative mezuzah cases, kosher mezuzah parchments, myriad Kiddush cups, Shabbat candlesticks, Chanukah menorahs, Passover seder plates, or hand-crocheted kippahs.
Whereas most synagogue gift shops nationwide have closed because of the multiple offerings of Jewish books and accoutrements on the Internet, there remain a few places in the Atlanta area that continue to offer a selection of jewelry, gifts, books, and curated items of Judaica.
The following sites responded to the Atlanta Jewish Times that they maintain gift shops:
Congregation Beth Shalom (5303 Winters Chapel Road in Dunwoody, 770-399-5300) has a well-stocked Judaica shop. Its hours are Monday-Thursday, 3:30 to 4:45 p.m.; Friday 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and Sunday 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
