According to the latest US Census data, Florida is one of the fastest growing regions of the country with population growth of 2.7 million (14.6%) between 2010 and 2020, double the rate of overall US population. The Florida Region of FJMC is also growing, adding several new Men’s Clubs and Brotherhoods over the past year. Today we shine a spotlight on one of those recently affiliated clubs, the Congregation B’nai Torah (CBT) Men’s Club of Ormond Beach, Florida.
Congregation B’nai Torah Men’s Club President Mark Givarz describes his Club as an active group of men committed to creating programs which appeal to a wide array of interests while promoting camaraderie, friendship, community service, and study. The CBT Men’s Club strives to create family friendly events while making Judaism more meaningful to our members through promoting religious, cultural and social activities, ensuring Tzedakah is at the core of what we do. Everyone is welcome to join us for fun times, learning and performing mitzvot.
The Congregation B’nai Torah Men’s Club opened it’s 5785 program calendar with a Paid-Up Members Ice Cream Social followed by “Schnapps in the Sukkah” on October 20. On Sunday November 17, Men’s Club members enjoyed a “Brunch and Shoot Gun Safety Program” at local shooting range.
