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:
