Congregation B'nai Torah is a Conservative synagogue located in Sandy Springs, Georgia, in the United States.[1][2] It was founded in 1981 by young, unaffiliated Jews who had attended the Hillel High holiday services at Emory University since the 1970s.[3] The 125 member families met in a closed grammar school until 1984, and then for two years in trailers, until they constructed a synagogue building.[2]
