With summer just around the corner, the Brotherhood is ready to roll. There’s always someone available to go hiking, bike riding, kayaking, a road trip, or just out for a lunch, dinner, or a beer. What activities do you enjoy? Chances are, we’re ready to join you!

Recently:

On Thursday, May 9, we enjoyed dinner at the Temple with Rabbi Perry. We shared a spirited conversation over some great food from Pressed Café.

After months of research, we concluded that the Brotherhood Retreat needs to take a hiatus for 2024. Linger Longer By The Sea, our home-away-from home in Brewster, MA, is being sold and is no longer available. We were spoiled after 20 years, and finding a new venue of equal quality and price has so far proven elusive. If you watch the video linked to the website, you’ll see why we’re eager to bring this event back ASAP.

Here’s what’s coming soon:

GUYS’ NIGHT OUT – WEDNESDAY, MAY 15 AND WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19: We select a different venue for a Wednesday night dinner each month. We prefer non-chains with reasonable prices and a good beer selection. The location will be announced via an Evite soon.

ANNUAL MEETING WITH BBQ – SUNDAY JUNE 2: Our annual Brotherhood meeting happens on Sunday, June 2 at 5 PM. It’s open to all Brotherhood members and prospective members. Come meet the guys and enjoy dinner! Details coming soon via Evite.

KAYAKING – SUNDAY JUNE 23: David Ebersman leads us on a kayaking adventure from 11 AM – 4 PM. Watch for an Evite announcing details on how you can sign up for this event!

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

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 young at heart even if our mirrors disagree!

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.
