WASHINGTON (JTA) — Vice President Joe Biden will address an Atlanta synagogue this week.

Biden will speak on the topic “Challenges Facing the U.S. and the World in the 21st Century” at Ahavath Achim Synagogue on Thursday evening, the shul said in a statement.

Biden has also been reported to be considering a presidential run.
