Men's Club
The Men’s Club is a regular and vibrant contributor to the Beth El community, offering activities and support for all congregants as well as the congregation as a whole. Just look at the list below to see some of our programs. Many of these, such as the weekly Sunday morning minyan and breakfast and speaker series, date from the very beginning of our synagogue. Other programs, such as the Shabbat Mincha/Havdalah service and Hearing Men’s Voices discussion group, were started in the last few years. We welcome your participation in all that we do. Please attend one of our Sunday morning breakfasts or other programs. On any given Sunday morning, you may see a range of ages from high school through retirement. We are always open to volunteer speakers and suggestions for programs. With few exceptions, our programs are open to men, women and children – the entire congregational membership as well as the general public – at no cost to attendees. Financial support of Men’s Club through your contribution of the annual dues of $36 makes the programs possible. You can call our Membership Chairman, David Schultz or Barry Friedman to learn more about Men’s Club. Please consider marking the Men’s Club Membership line on the enclosed High Holiday Registration Form, and also consider speaking at a breakfast program and/or sponsoring one of our Sunday morning breakfasts on a special occasion or in honor/memory of a loved one.
L’shalom,
Bernard (Barry) Friedman
