“Join a temple and your kids will be Jewish… participate and your grandkids will be Jewish.”
The Temple Beth El Brotherhood are the guys who help around TBE: the guys who listen to your stories and complaints and are genuinely interested. Come to a meeting and save the cost of a therapist!

Our monthly Sunday Brotherhood Luncheon meeting over bagels and lox with the fixings continued and met on May 5th with another presentation focusing on health with speaker Rob Seiler, Ph.D., who presented on mental health and how to deal with stress. Everyone left feeling much more relaxed, ready and able to deal with life’s stresses.
Upcoming events include a dinner get together at Finnegan’s, a spring whisky tasting, the summer outdoor cocktail party, pastrami tastings, attending a Yankees farm team game and a Long Island Ducks game. If you have a plan or an idea for an event, Brotherhood would like to hear it.
