About Small Groups
When do Small Groups meet?
Groups set their own meeting schedule by member availability and meet roughly once a month (with breaks as needed) to average around 6-8 times a year.
What is expected of group leaders?
Group leaders schedule, organize, and host monthly gatherings throughout the year or delegate members of the group to do so. Group leaders ensure that their group remains a safe and respectful space for members while upholding B'nai Torah's Jewish values.
Active Groups
Led by Paige Rohe
Led by Michael Helman-Darley
A group of men challenging themselves to push past their comfort zones by doing any and all kinds of atypical adventures they wouldn’t normally do. But with the help of friendly encouragement, group think, and healthy peer pressure anything is possible! Come join us for events ranging from the fun to the strange like adult scavenger hunts, restaurants serving bugs, indoor skydiving, axe throwing, or running in the mud. Who knows what the group will come up with, but if it’s anything usual, it won’t be on the list!
Led by Amy Helman-Darley

In our time together through conversations "sparkled with a little humor" we will reflect with one another on the childhood messages we were given about doing "mitzvot" and the small, thoughtful, socially-just things we can do using kindness, empathy, and fairness every day to enrich our own lives and the lives of others.
Led by Randy Cortland
Here is an opportunity for the retired men of B’nai Torah to meet for lunch and schmooze one Wednesday a month. We will sample restaurants located in Sandy Springs and Dunwoody. Our goal is for you to have the chance to socialize with your B’nai Torah friends and maybe make some new ones while enjoying a good meal.
Work from Home Lunch - Click here to join!
Led by Ben Marks
Working from home can be a bit isolating at times. Here’s an opportunity to get out of the house and meet with other men for a monthly one-hour social lunch. We try a different lunch spot each month and vegetarian options are always available.
