In 1914, two years after the original charter, the JEA leased a building on the northeast corner of Barnard and Harris streets. The JEA opened its own structure January 27, 1916, located at 328 Barnard Street at the corner of Barnard and Charlton streets. World War I disrupted activities, but after the war, the JEA had become a strong social force in the Jewish community offering family nights, dances, socials, plays, contests, lectures, concerts and sports. The JEA also offered social services such as transient relief, unemployment and social case work that were later taken over by the Savannah Jewish Council, now the Savannah Jewish Federation.
