Welcome to November – Thanksgiving and Chanukah are just around the corner and the Brotherhood remains active. We’ve got a busy month planned, with even more coming your way soon! 

POKER – SUNDAY NOVEMBER 5: We ante up with a friendly poker game at the Temple on Sunday, November 5 at 6 PM. David Penfield deals us in. $10 covers all chips and pizza. We may even have some beer on hand, but feel free to BYOB.

TAKE A HIKE – SUNDAY NOVEMBER 12: Neal Berenson will lead us on a hike (weather permitting). Watch for an updated email or evite for details.

GUYS’ NIGHT OUT – WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 15: We select a different venue for dinner each month (on a Wednesday or Thursday). We prefer non-chains with reasonable prices and a good beer selection. We announce the location via an evite. Our next Guys’ Night Out is Wednesday November 15 at a location to be announced via an evite soon.

LOOKING AHEAD: We’ll soon be announcing a rock and roll trivia contest, latke making for the religious school, Brotherhood-Sisterhood night out, and more.  Details will be sent in Temple update emails and evites. Please make sure we have your current email address. Send updates or questions to brotherhood@congregationshalom.org

ABOUT US: The Congregation Shalom Brotherhood is primarily a social organization, and we take pride in our inclusiveness and welcoming spirit. From a monthly “Guys’ Night Out” dinner to special events, from bike rides and hikes to our annual getaway, 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. Some of us are young, some just young at heart even if our mirrors betray us!

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.

Jon Boroshok (JB), Brotherhood President
