The Sunshine State is the home to close to one hundred active and dynamic Reform, Conservative and Orthodox Men’s Clubs and Brotherhoods; many of the have similar names but each one is unique. Today we take a trip to sun drenched, tranquil shores of Florida’s Atlantic Coast and shine a spotlight on the Temple Beth El Men’s Club of West Palm Beach, Florida.

Temple Beth El has served the needs of Conservative Judaism in Palm Beach County for almost hundred years. Since its early beginnings as part of the “Jewish Community Center”, Beth El has grown into a vibrant, multi-generational Synagogue of nearly to 200 families with a thriving religious enrollment, offering a wide array of services and multi-generational programs including Jewish education for children and adults, cultural activities, social action, grief support and spiritual healing. At the heart of Temple Beth El is a family of families; the opportunity to celebrate together and share family life cycle and social events as a congregation. Temple Beth El is affiliated with the United Synagogues of Conservative Judaism.

The Temple Beth El Men’s Club is a welcoming community that celebrates camaraderie, service, and Jewish values. It provides a space for men of all ages to come together and form meaningful connections. Engage in thought-provoking discussions, participate in community initiatives, and create lasting friendships while strengthening your connection to Judaism and the broader Beth El community. Whether it’s gathering for social events, engaging in volunteering opportunities, or deepening your understanding of Jewish traditions, the Temple Beth El offers a supportive environment where you can grow personally, spiritually, and make a positive impact.

The Beth El Men’s Club offers opportunities for fellowship and good works and host many worthwhile programs and events including “Remember a Child” supporting the Fishman Youth Fund and the ever popular “Men’s Club Theater Party”, attending live theater and musical productions by the very talented professionals in the theater in Century Village.

Every Sunday morning, the Beth El Men’s Club sponsors breakfast at 10am after minyan; join them for a heaping helping of bagels and brotherhood. Beth El Men’s Club members do it all; they man the grill for member barbecues, provide financial support for Temple programs and events and are actively involved on event committees in support of Beth El.

Winter in Palm Beach is awesome and the Beth El Men’s Club is planning a schedule of fun and engaging activities. Please save the dates to join us for Brunch and a Movie on Sunday December 8 (and lets do it again on January 5, 2025).

On Wednesday December 25 the Beth El Men’s Club will sponsor “Six13”, a groundbreaking, six-man a cappella vocal band that is bringing an unprecedented style and energy to Jewish music, with nothing but the power of the human voice. Six13 has made appearances around the world for millions, to rave reviews and standing ovations. They’ve played the White House, the Chabad Telethon, Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center, and multiple times traversed New York’s Fifth Avenue in the Salute to Israel Parade, headlined the North American Jewish Choral Festival, and sang for major league sporting events at Shea Stadium, Citi Field, Madison Square Garden and Dolphin Stadium and this is YOUR chance to see them here in West Palm Beach. December 29 Men’s Club and Women’s League will host a Chanukkah Party; come for the candles, stay for the latkes.
