Synagogue Softball Back for Summer

After a wet weekend delayed the scheduled June 4 start of the 2017 Atlanta Men’s Synagogue Softball league, play is set to kick off Sunday, June 11, in the A, B and C divisions.

The regular season will run through July 30, with the playoffs starting Aug. 6.

Congregation Beth Tefillah, which snapped Congregation B’nai Torah’s nine-year winning streak in the A Division last summer, looks to defend its title against a group that includes Chabad, which moves up a division after defeating Young Israel of Toco Hills in an exciting B Division final last year.

Temple Sinai 2 (now B), which won the C Division in 2016 by defeating Temple Kol Emeth in the finals, moves up to the B Division this season, but a third Sinai team is taking its place in the C Division.
