"Projects of Service", "Projects of Assistance", "Projects of Enjoyment" - That's our unofficial Temple Beth El Men's Club Brotherhood motto. At our once a month Sunday morning meetings we gather to share some "Bagels, Camaraderie, Coffee, Inspiration, Tea & Humor". And while we're enjoying the common bonds of Judaism, friendship and community, we work toward upholding the ideals that are our Mission.

Men's Club/Brotherhood is a multi-faceted organization that is a cross-section of the men of our congregation. We offer our members exceptional spiritual, educational, and networking opportunities by joining together to:

• Promote Brotherhood in this Temple and help provide service and programs to our members, the congregation and the community.
• Promote fellowship by helping to create a warm, caring, fun and educated men's community.
• Promote the importance of family togetherness through temple family activity participation.
• Stimulate interest in Jewish worship, Jewish studies, and social service through our Guest Speakers program and service projects.
• Increase the Jewish spirit in the children and younger members of the congregation by supporting programs that stimulate their interests in Judaism.

Some of our many activities include:

• Sunday morning breakfast meetings (with Guest Speakers)
• High Holy Day and Shabbat Service Ushering and Support
• Constructing the Sukkah
• Funding and providing B'Nai Mitzvah Kiddish Cups
• Professional Baseball Outing
• Golf Outing (Fund Raiser)
• Family Ski Trip and Family Fun Outings
• Men's Night Out
• Participation/Management of some Temple Social Action Events

We are a low-key, high spirited group that allows each member to participate at their level of availability and desire. Although, most who join want to participate regularly. So, if your not yet one of us, come be a part of the fun, fulfillment and remember:
