ASK Mission Statement
Atlanta Scholars Kollel
ASK was founded in 1987 under the leadership of Rabbi Menachem Deutsch. Through the vision of Rabbi Ilan Feldman, then the assistant rabbi to his father, Rabbi Emanuel Feldman at Congregation Beth Jacob, and with the guidance of Rabbi Yaakov Weinberg z”l of Ner Yisrael Rabbinical College, three rabbis moved to Atlanta to start an outreach Kollel, the first of its kind in the world. Over the past four decades the Kollel has grown to over 20 member families, founded two outreach synagogues, and continues to inspire over 1,000 students a month in and around the Atlanta area.
