Greetings to members of the Men’s Club, our Sisterhood, and all of the members of our Beth Israel family.
In August, a Men’s Club representative attended and made a presentation to new and prospective members of the congregation, informing those attending of the benefits and work of the Men’s Club, and inviting the men attending to join/rejoin our Men’s Club.
Flyers will be going out shortly via email asking for volunteers to serve as ushers during
the High Holy Days this September and October. Any and all members of the Men’s Club, our Sisterhood, as well as the entire congregation may join us. Volunteers will be provided with the assigned date(s) and time(s) to report, following selections you requested, usher badges, and instructions (if needed). You are asked to please respond when you receive the email request.
Our Men’s Club has opened up its 2025-2026 membershi drive to the men of the congregation. For only a small contribution, you will be able to enjoy the friendship of fellow members in
a social setting (always with food!) almost once a month, enjoy a paid-up free luncheon in ovember, hear superb speakers, and actively be part of our great organization. Mail your $18
check payable to the “Beth Israel Men’s Club” with your name, address, phone number, and
email address, and send it to Ed Blecher, Membership Chair VP, 3008 Crystal Downs
Court, Sun City Center, FL 33573.
Save these dates on your calendar/cell phone: The men’s Club will build our Sukkah at 10:00
am on Friday, October 3rd. On Friday, October 17th at 10:00 am, we plan to dismantle it. In the near future, we will ask for volunteers (via email) to help us in this process. It will be built on the paved road behind the Beth Israel building. We will be glad to be joined by all (that means YOU) with or without experience, including our women, to join us and be part of a mitzvah and a great experience.
As the High Holy Days approach, we wish all of our Men’s Club members, the entire Sisterhood, as well as all members of our congregation, a happy and healthy New Year and an easy fast for those who do.
L’Shanah Tova to all!
Stay Safe and Stay Healthy,
Stephen
