Men’s Club 2022-2023 Membership Application
As a club, we are affiliated with the Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs (FJMC), a group of over 250 clubs with over 20,000 members in Conservative/Masorti synagogues around the world, we fulfill the needs of men like you. We come together to get involved in Jewish living and help address family and community concerns, in a spirit of camaraderie and fun.
Together, we sponsor blood drives, visit the sick, tutor children, build sukkot, and engage in serious discussions about being a man in an increasingly egalitarian world. We cultivate volunteers and train leaders, find jobs for those in need, sponsor parent-child activities and athletic events, help families learn to make Shabbat, read Hebrew, commemorate Yom HaShoah, and put on tefillin. We help raise needed funds for our synagogue, our community, and the global Conservative/Masorti Movement.
