Welcome to the Men’s Club
Beth Sholom Congregation Men’s Club is an award-winning multi-generational auxiliary of our synagogue, recognized by receiving multiple Quality Club and Torch Awards from FJMC, International (hereinafter “FJMC”). We celebrate Jewish learning and traditions by hosting educational, social, and religious events, conducting synagogue and community service projects, supporting Israel, combating hate and antisemitism, mentoring the current and next generation of leaders, prioritizing our health and wellness, and helping one another in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
Our Men’s Club provides members with diverse opportunities to participate in activities that align with their personal interests and family goals while also serving the synagogue and the broader community. For single members, there are opportunities to expand their social and professional networks. For members with families, you can engage your children (and/or grandchildren) in activities that enhance their sense of community, celebrate holidays, and embody our commitment to Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World). By leading by example, you can reinforce the model of the Jewish values you wish for your children and grandchildren to embrace, helping to ensure the continuity of our faith and values. L’Dor Vador, from generation to generation.
Please explore the opportunities in each of the areas below and choose a few to begin or enhance your involvement.

Service and Community
Service to our synagogue and the community at large is integral to who we are as individuals and as an auxiliary of Beth Sholom Congregation. We provide numerous opportunities for our members to serve, have fun, and contribute to the growth and well-being of our congregation and community.
Fundraising
Our club is a vibrant resource for our members and the broader community. We offer a range of programs and services, and the Men’s Club plays a key role in supporting these efforts. To ensure that we deliver the highest quality in these offerings, we supplement Beth Sholom’s fundraising efforts with donations from our specific programs.

We welcome your contribution of time, talent, and/or commitment, any of which will enhance our team and our efforts.
