Brotherhood
Welcome to 2025! With football playoffs, bowl games galore, and cooler weather, January slows down, but only just a little. We have a Guys’ Night Out dinner on Wednesday, January 8. Weather permitting, we’ll take a snowshoe hike on Sunday, January 12. If there’s not enough snow, we may turn this into a regular hike/walk. Finally, join us for breakfast at the Owl Diner in Lowell on Wednesday, January 29. Watch for Evites with details and RSVP opportunities.
We will likely move Brotherhood-Sisterhood Night Out to the April/May time frame. We’re also looking at a ski trip for Wednesday, February 5.
As we look forward to the new year, we’re also quite happy with the way we closed out 2024.
In October, we enjoyed an easy social-paced bike ride on the Bruce Freeman rail trail, and had a delicious “Guys’ Night out” dinner at the Viet-Thai restaurant in Lowell. We also assembled the Sukkah for the Religious School and trekked up Mount Watatic.
In November, the sukkah came down, we hiked, had a guys’ dinner at Tequila’s in North Chelmsford, did a road trip to BT’s BBQ in Sturbridge and Treehouse brewing’s headquarters in Charlton.
In December, we led a crew of volunteers in the Temple kitchen as we continue our tradition of making potato latkes for the Religious School’s Chanukah party.
We’re always open to trying new activities and events. What are your interests? Come share them with us – you’ll certainly find us an adventurous group looking for new experiences.
From monthly “Guys’ Night Out” dinners to breakfasts with guest speakers, from bike rides and hikes to special events, we’re a diverse group of guys who enjoy each other’s company. Some of us were born Jewish, others married into the religion, but we tend to leave religion to services while we focus on social life.
As always, details will be sent in Temple update emails and Evites. Please add us (and Evites) to your allowed senders email list. Do we have your current email address? Send updates or questions to brotherhood@congregationshalom.org
