Weaving Jewish History through Everyday Life.
We are arts and history. We are story keepers and story seekers. We are ATL and Jewish. We are the Breman: a cultural center that celebrates the joy and resiliency of life, connecting people from every walk of life. From engrossing conversations about the Holocaust and Civil Rights to captivating art collections and live musical performances, we welcome you to get inspired by remarkable moments and memories.
Our mission is to connect people to Jewish history, culture, and arts.
History of the Breman
William Breman
More than a namesake, William Breman was a humanitarian with a vision of creating a space for people of different backgrounds to connect, learn, and grow. A focal member of the Atlanta Jewish community, he dreamed of building a permanent home to preserve and share Jewish stories, where people from all walks of life can learn about remarkable moments and memories.

Work With Us
Our amazing staff, docents and volunteers are wholeheartedly committed to helping share remarkable stories and guiding people along their Breman experience. Whether you’re interested in history, arts, music or culture, there are endless ways to get involved and join our outstanding team.
Our Partners
It takes a village (or a city) to collect, preserve and share stories. Whether they’re providing resources, space, connections or ideas, our partners are instrumental to helping us create dynamic and immersive experiences that span every aspect of Jewish life in the South.
