Rabbi Jason Holtz

Rabbi Jason Holtz serves as the senior rabbi of Temple Kehillat Chaim in Roswell, Georgia. He is passionate about building a synagogue community that is both spiritually vibrant and welcoming to people from all backgrounds. With a commitment to Reform Jewish values, he seeks to create a Judaism that is intellectually honest, emotionally resonant, and rooted in our shared tradition.

At the heart of Rabbi Holtz’s rabbinate is a love of teaching and learning. At Temple Kehillat Chaim, he regularly teaches both children and adults, including a weekly Wednesday afternoon course on a variety of Jewish topics and an Introduction to Judaism course. Beyond the synagogue, he teaches at Senior Enriched Learning (SEL) in Roswell, where past classes have included How a Rabbi Reads Genesis and A History of Big Ideas that Changed the World. Whether in the sanctuary, classroom, or community setting, his teaching seeks to make Jewish wisdom accessible, thought-provoking, and deeply relevant to people’s lives. His sermons and classes often weave together classical sources, modern philosophy, and contemporary experiences, creating opportunities for reflection and growth while honoring the diversity of perspectives within the congregation.

Rabbi Holtz was ordained at Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion and has previously served congregations in Arizona and the United Kingdom. He is active in the Atlanta Rabbinic Association, the Central Conference of American Rabbis, and serves on the board of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Atlanta.

When he’s not at synagogue, Rabbi Holtz enjoys golf, photography, and riding his Triumph Bonneville motorcycle. He also loves cooking and spending time with his family.
