BROTHERHOOD is an organization where Jewish men come together to: socialize, build relationships, provide community programs, develop leadership, and support Temple Beth Torah.

We are part of MRJ, Men of Reform Judaism.  MRJ provides us with regional events and national projects, such as: the Jewish Chataqua Society, Reform on Campus Program, and Walking Together Program.

The vision for Temple Beth Torah’s Brotherhood is to have every male member be a brotherhood member. Think of Brotherhood as a Men’s Havurah, a friendly group, where Jewish men feel welcome and comfortable. Our Meetings are held on the first Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in Meister Hall. Please join us. 

We welcome participation in our ongoing programs: Sunday Brunches, Bowling Leagues, Temple Picnics, Food Share, Family to Family Breakfasts, production of our Temple Annual, Casino Nights, etc.

GET INVOLVED … with Brotherhood.
