Brotherhood
October was a busy month for the Brotherhood, and November shows no signs of slowing us down!
On Sunday October 6, a group of us enjoyed an easy social-paced bike ride on the Bruce Freeman rail trail, and on Wednesday, October 9, we enjoyed a “Guys’ Night out” dinner at the Viet-Thai restaurant in Lowell. We assembled the Sukkah for the Religious School on a rainy Sunday, October 13, and a handful of us trekked up Mount Watatic on Sunday, October 27.
So what’s coming up? We’ll be taking down the Sukkah on the morning of Sunday, November 3. Religious School parents are encouraged to come help us out – it’s for your kids after all!
Watch for an evite for a level-ground hike coming up on Sunday, November 10 from 1-3 PM, led by Bob Blumstein. We will meet at Emmet Conservation Land on Texas Road in Westford. Anyone signed up in advance will be notified if the weather requires change of plan.
Join us for Mexican food on the evening on Wednesday, November 13. We’re likely going to Tequila’s in Vinal Square (North Chelmsford). Watch for an evite in the next few days.
We’ll also be taking a daytime drive out to BT’s BBQ in Sturbridge, named the best BBQ in Massachusetts. We’ll get our lunch to go and then enjoy it with a fresh cold beverage at Treehouse brewing’s headquarters in Charlton. This takes place on Tuesday, November 19.
In December, we’ll lead a crew of volunteers in the temple kitchen as we continue our tradition of making potato latkes for the Religious School’s Chanukah party. Once again, parents are encouraged to join the fun and help out!
Later in 2024 and early 2025, we’ll also see us host a Scotch tasking event, and a red meat/red wine event for couples.
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
