Men's Club
The purpose of Temple Beth-El’s Men’s Club is to stimulate social activities among the members and in the community at large; to strengthen the involvement of the members in the life of the congregation; and to promote a more thorough knowledge and appreciation of Jewish life.
The Men’s Club has over 130 members, most of whom attend programming regularly. The Men’s Club has its own Executive Committee and is represented on the TBE Board of Directors. Men’s Club membership is available to any male member of TBE who has reached the age of Bar Mitzvah. Major Men’s Club programs include the 5th Grade Tefillin program, World Wide Wrap and the providing of Yom HaShoah candles annually to all synagogue members, among many others. The Men’s Club also has a popular annual kickoff sports event each year. The current Men’s Club President is Howard Kaplan and Steve Altman.
