Past ASKT Events
2021 Past Events
TeLeM events:TeLeM stands for Tefillah Limmud and Mischak (Prayer, Learning and Play) and the idea is to create fun events which will help get us involved in shul life again. Yom Rishon means Sunday.
This is the second in a series of Sunday morning/afternoon events where we daven together, learn together and do something fun together.
In Hebrew a תלם (telem) is a furrow, a place where one plants seeds which will grow. We hope these initiatives will plant the seeds of regrowth and regeneration of full shul participation.
June 13th : Shiur and breakfast at 9am, Tailgate (11:15am) and Brewer's Game (1:10pm start)
