About Us

Congregation Beth Tefillah (CBT) is a synagogue and center of learning for Jews of all backgrounds. Affiliated with Chabad of Georgia, we have a single mission: to engender a feeling of comfort and belonging in all Jews.  

While we conduct our religious services in accordance with traditional Halachic Jewish law, our congregation is diverse and is characterized by a culture that is welcoming and non-judgmental. CBT provides a place for our congregants to grow spiritually and to find a level of commitment with which they feel comfortable.

We are located in the heart of Sandy Springs and a short distance from the Greenfield Hebrew Academy. We are convenient to both interstates I-285 and GA-400, and about two miles from Northside Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospitals and the Scottish Rite Medical Centers.
