Traveler's InformationWelcome to Savannah and Congregation B'nai B'rith Jacob! Savannah is located about eight miles east of one of the busiest north-south interstates in the U.S., I-95. Consequently, we have many visitors to our community as they travel between northern cities and Florida, many of whom need lodging during their stay, be it during the week or over Shabbos. This page provides a list of hotels and services that we recommend for your visit. Despite our congregation's long and vibrant history, we are still a relatively small Jewish community. We do, however, have an eruv that is actively maintained by our congregation, and we made sure that it includes several different hotels that are within walking distance to our synagogue. Of course, our homes do not have basements, so we strongly urge that when it comes to lodging while in Savannah, you choose one of the following hotels. They are listed in order of closest to farthest from the synagogue. For personally ready-made Kosher food during your visit, including Shabbos packages, please contact Gottlieb and Cohen Kosher Catering (information listed below).
