Men's Club at Beth Israel

The mission of the Beth Israel Men’s Club is to strengthen and support our congregation and its Jewish heritage by promoting and fostering the Jewish ideals of Mitzvot, learning and education; supporting Israel; raising religious consciousness; and reinforcing a sense of community through congregational life. Beth Israel’s Men’s Club consists of adult temple members who identify as male. Most of our activities are open to every adult in the congregation.

What We Do

The Men’s Club would like to encourage all our members, along with their adult partners and families, to get involved in our fellowship, study, service and social action activities, which include:

  • Hosting a monthly Dinner Forum with noteworthy speakers
  • Twice-monthly discussion group on current events (Men's Club members only)
  • Providing challah for Erev Shabbat services
  • Ushering at Shabbat and High Holy Day services
  • Serving Chanukah latkes for religious school students
  • Building a Sukkah in the Price Family Courtyard
  • Distributing Yom HaShoah memorial candles to our congregation
  • Leading the Minyan Service each December
  • Gifts of prayer books for B’nai Mitzvah students
  • Men’s Club at the Padres Game and other congregational outings
  • Co-sponsoring with Women of Beth Israel the popular Torah on Tap program with Rabbi Nevarez
