What is the Brotherhood?

Our Mission
To strengthen the social and spiritual ties among Temple members and provide rewarding, enriching and entertaining programs, social activities and community projects. We raise funds for an array of temple activities; however, most of our fundraising efforts support Beth El teen programs, including financial aid scholarships for two high school seniors, sponsorship of Tot Shabbat services, and helping underwrite the expense of the confirmation's annual class trip to Washington, DC . Members of The Brotherhood also serve as usher during Shabbat services as well as High Holy Day services.
How to join
The cost is just $36/year. Send your check c/o Temple Beth El, 5101 Providence Rd., Charlotte, NC 28226.

When does the Brotherhood meet?
The Brotherhood generally meets from September through June, and has guest speakers at its Sunday breakfast or weekday evening dinner meetings. Our most popular meeting is held in March, when we gather to pack and mail Yom HaShoah candles to every household in the Beth El community. We also hold a Men's Seder every April.
Sometimes, we get together just to have fun, like our annual bowling party every December, our book club or our sports memorabilia group. We also meet the third Thursday night of every month at a local restaurant/bar for drinks and dinner.
Want to help?
We have several committees in need of talented people like you, including:
