ABOUT CBI MEN'S CLUB AND HOW TO JOIN

A Message from Rabbi Berk

Himei ma-tov… "How good it is" when men come together in bonds of friendship and service.

That is why the Men’s Club of Congregation Beth Israel is so important to us. As a congregation, we are very serious about helping our members find ways to connect meaningfully with others at the temple. It is a core value that has historically been an important purpose of the synagogue wherever Jews have lived. Fulfilling the mandate to help others find friends, meaning, and opportunities for service is made easier because of groups like the Men’s Club.

Congregation Beth Israel is a very large family. Our size is one source of our strength, giving us the opportunity to meet the vast range of needs of our members. But our large size can also be overwhelming. By joining the Men’s Club, you have the opportunity to be with others in settings which encourage people to truly connect and bond with each other. Whether it is a brunch with a compelling speaker, doing a mitzvah (good deed; commandment) for others, serving the temple community, or purely social occasions, the Men’s Club will surely be a way for you to find fulfillment at Congregation Beth Israel.

There is an incredible devotion and commitment among the members of the Men’s Club. I am sure your membership will be one of the most precious aspects of your involvement with the CBI temple community. It is my pleasure to welcome you and say thank you for supporting this remarkable group.
