The sunshine state is blessed to have dozens of dynamic Jewish Men’s Clubs and Brotherhoods and the Congregation Beth Shalom (CBS) Brotherhood of Clearwater is one of the shining jewels of Pinellas County. The CBS Brotherhood also has the distinction of being the home club of Florida Region FJMC Immediate Past President, Blake Lenett.
The CBS Brotherhood is made up of a group of individuals dedicated to the growth of our organization and the building of a strong fellowship among the men of CBS. The Brotherhood offers you many ways to participate in strengthening the synagogue and community by mixing opportunities for service with chances for men to interact both socially and spiritually.
Each year the CBS Brotherhood organizes many outstanding social and educational programs to keep the CBS membership informed, involved and engaged. Recent programs of note include the annual MLB Jewish Heritage game between the NY Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays that drew 35 CBS Brotherhood members, a financial educational program focused on Wills, Trust and Estate Planning, “Pets & Pizza in the Sukkah” and the Brotherhood’s annual Deli Night featuring delicious Kosher meat as well as several “game” tables for individuals to play the “game “of their choice, a Tour and Wine Tasting experience at Aspirations Winery, the FJMC World Wide Wrap and the annual CBS Brotherhood Shabbat weekend. Each year the Brotherhood distributes Yom HaShoah Yellow Candles, sponsors a Brotherhood Movie Night, a CBS Brotherhood Membership Appreciation Luncheon and a Lag B’Omer celebration.
Over the summer, the CBS Brotherhood has been working behind the scenes to bring a stellar portfolio of exciting programming for the coming year, starting on Sunday September 15 at 10:30am when the CBS Brotherhood will present a Men’s Health Forum on the topic “Aging Wisely: What sould we all be doing to best respond to the effects of aging?” featuring Dr. Robert Miller. Please RSVP at: https://www.cbsclearwater.org/event/brotherhood-mens-health-forum.html.
On Sunday mornings September 22 and 29 at 10:30am, the CBS Brotherhood will sponsor two discussions about Israel. The first session will be on the topic, “The Latest Israeli Innovations in Medical, Agricultural, Green and Consumer Technologies” with guest speaker Eric Pastman. The second session on September 29 will feature Dr. Eric Steckler on the topic, “Defending Israel : Military Innovations of the IDF”.
Looking ahead to 5785, on Sunday morning October 13 the Brotherhood invites one and all to help assemble Siegel Family Sukkah. Save the date, Tuesday October 22, for “Suds in the Sukkah” (more details coming soon) and October 27 to take down and store the Siegel Family Sukkah for next year. Other Fall 2024 Brotherhood programs and events will include a special Veteran’s Shabbat tribute to those who served, a Craft Beer Tour, a night of NHL Hockey for Tampa Bay Lightning Jewish Heritage Night as well as the Brotherhood Annual Fundraiser event, tentatively scheduled for January 5, 2025.
