Grew up in Odessa. Nothing foretold, that at the age of 14 he would enter a Synagogue on Peresyp. A girl in the Synagogue introduced him to the Rabbi, and that was it… A kosher house appeared on Derebasovskaya. He then moved and reached maturity in Jerusalem. Three Yeshivas, rabbinical degree, army (intelligence) and a degree in programming. But "A man is led on the path He wants" (Talmud). In 2002, Rabbi Asher was invited to teach at the Yeshiva in New York. Another institute, another rabbinical diploma. Than was approached by a group of Jewish enthusiasts who wanted to study Torah together and that is how a community was formed – “Congregation Beth Shalom” with Asher Altshul as its official Rabbi. Lectures, seminars, teaching Judaism is what makes him tick. Married to that girl from the Odessa Synagogue.
