The Temple Beth El Brotherhood are the guys who help around TBE. We are also the guys who listen to your stories and complaints and are genuinely interested. Come to a meeting and learn how you can be an active temple member. Come up with a plan for a project and/or a get-together and the Brotherhood will try to make it happen. Join a temple and your kids will be Jewish; participate and your grandkids will be Jewish.
Brotherhood’s ROMEO (Retired Old Men Eating Out) continues to meet in person at the temple once a month on a Monday from 12:00 to around 1:30 p.m. over lunch to enjoy the company of one another. Dates and times to be announced. Remember that socialization keeps the brain active!
In October, Brotherhood hosted the Men of Reform Judaism (MRJ) meeting, which is the umbrella group for Reform Jewish Brotherhoods. The guest speaker was our own Dr. Mike Dannenberg who discussed Men’s Health. The presentation and the dinner were well received.
Brotherhood’s Beautification Committee welcomes Barry Schwalb to the executive committee and thanks him for cleaning up the stone by the temple entrance and ensuring that most of the outside lighting is working.
