Brotherhood
The Brotherhood is ready for summer! As May arrives, we start off with a very special celebration of Mel Starr’s 90thbirthday on Saturday May 3. Over the years, Mel has done so much for the Brotherhood, and we’re honored to honor him! This event sold out quickly – thank you Mel!
May and June is also when we start thinking about activities from July 2025 through June 2026. We’d really like to get more involvement from some of the younger members of the Temple, and would welcome ideas that would help Brotherhood appeal to you. Woo Sox games (with kids???), BBQ, bike hikes – you name it, we’re game!
Here’s what is already planning for May and June:
GUYS’ NIGHT OUT
Guys’ Night Out will happen on Wednesday May 14 at 6:30 PM. Watch for an evite soon. Our June Guys’ Night out is schedule for Wednesday June 11.
ANNUAL MEETING WITH BBQ: We’ll hold our annual meeting featuring a cookout on Sunday June 1 at 5:30 PM. Come meet some of the guys and share any ideas you have for activities and events.
BIKE HIKES
As the weather gets warmer, we often take bike rides on the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. Tuesday seems to be the most popular day, but it varies. If you’re interested in being contacted to take a trek with us, email brotherhood@congregationshalom.org and we’ll let you know the next time we go!
BASEBALL
We are looking at two possible Woo Sox games this year. One would be on a weekday afternoon including breakfast out at a Worcester diner. The other would be a weekend game open to families. It’s a great affordable alternative to going into Boston for a Red Sox game (especially if you’re brining the kids). Come see the stars of the future! Watch the Temple web site and upcoming evites.
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
