The Temple Torat Emet Men’s Club of Boynton Beach regularly comes together to involve Jewish Men in Jewish life and help address family and community concerns in a spirit of camaraderie and fun. The Men’s Club sponsors blood drives, visits the sick, tutors children, builds sukkot and engages in serious discussions about being a man in an increasingly egalitarian world. They 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, as well as raise needed funds for their synagogue, the community and the global Conservative/Masorti Movement.
Each year the Temple Torat Emet Men’s Club offers its members a array of fun activities. Recent Club activities include “A Chorus Line” at FAU, the Marlins for Jewish Heritage day, the Panthers for “Chanukah Hockey Guys Night Out” and a Sunday morning bagel & lox tailgate breakfast to watch the Miami Dolphins play the Kansas City Chiefs. Other recent Temple Torat Emet Men’s Club programs and events included the FJMC World Wide Wrap, a sold-out “BEATLEMANIAX-USA” live concert and a trip to the Ball Park of the Palm Beaches for Spring Training to see the NY Mets take on the Washington Nationals for an afternoon of Major League awesomeness. The highlight of the annual Temple Torat Emet Men’s Club programming cycle is Men’s Club Shabbat weekend including with a delicious Friday night Shabbat Dinner and participatory Shabbat services.
