Home

NTS is an intellectually vibrant, family friendly Orthodox synagogue. We are founded on the ideas that every individual has unique abilities and perspectives, that we are obligated to share our talents with others, and that our community is strongest when our members contribute to its success and well-being. Our rabbinic and lay partners work together to provide a platform for sophisticated and nuanced Torah, reflective and meaningful Tefillah, and supportive and enriching Gemilut Chassadim.

Find us at 2003 Lavista Rd, Atlanta GA 30329.

Dear Friends,

Thank you to the men and women who made our first Shabbat in our new recently renovated sanctuary a great success! Our hybrid model allows people to sit indoors (properly spaced), on the screened porch, or fully outside while participating in all phases of our minyan, including Torah reading. Come check it out for yourselves! We believe this is a great way for individuals to participate in whichever sort of space they are currently comfortable — it is all very New Toco.

A few notes on the next phase in this process:

1. All participants must continue to wear masks, observe distancing, and other guidelines.
2. Our weekday Vatikin minyan (this week at 6:10 am) is back in business going into its third week. Everyone is welcome! Our daily minyanim serve both the New Toco Shul and Netzach Israel communities.
3. For now, we will continue early WEEKDAY Mincha-Maariv just before plag ha-mincha (this week at 7:05 pm).
4. For now we will continue to start Shacharit on Shabbat at Nishmat at 9:00 am.
5. This coming Shabbat, we will begin Shabbat early (with Mincha at 7:05 PM) but we will hold Shabbat afternoon prayers (i.e. Mincha-Maariv on Saturday) at their regular times, to reach Maariv around the time Shabbat goes out. Shabbat afternoon Mincha will be at 8:15 pm, and Maariv at 9:20 pm.
6. In between Mincha-Maariv on Shabbat, Rabbi Broyde’s Contemporary Halakha class will be held on the screened porch (or outdoors if there is great demand).
7. It is no longer necessary to pre-register for each minyan. However, if you want to reserve a particular location of seat (such as outdoor, on the porch or indoor) you should still register. Otherwise it is first come, first served. It is difficult, given spacing requirements, to add extra chairs in any particular section.
8. While we are in flux, we have set up both indoor and porch women’s sections — Women are asked to let us know which section they will use so that we can add the right number of seats to each women’s section.
9. Nobody showing possible symptoms of COVID-19, who have tested positive, or who have good reason to think they may be carriers may attend. We still recommend that people over 65 exercise extreme caution at their own discretion.

 
We continually monitor and will make changes as the situation demands. Please be in contact if you have any questions.
 
Yours,
Don Seeman, Rabbi NTS
Scott Forbus, Gabbai NTS

We are delighted to announce that beginning next week (July 6-12), a summer kosher food program will provide two free nutritious meals daily to all children age 18 and younger. Any child, regardless of the family's income level of synagogue and school affiliation, is invited to participate in this program, which we hope will assist families as they navigate the COVID-19 challenges.

The distribution of the meals will run from July 6 - August 7 and take place in a drive-through format at Congregation Beth Jacob on Mondays and Wednesdays, with more details to be provided once your family registers below.
