On Superbowl Sunday February 9, 2025 the Temple Israel Men’s Club will take part in the FJMC World Wide Wrap, an international, coordinated minyan encouraging Jewish men and women to learn about and participate in one of the basic commandments in the Torah: the wrapping of tefillin.

The Florida Region FJMC dates on the Sefer Haftarah 5785 World Tour are official and the one and only FJMC Sefer Haftarah Scroll is scheduled to visit Temple Israel Orlando from February 19 to 26, 2025. The FJMC Sefer Haftarah Scroll is a great way for every person who chants a haftarah to find a greater connection to the text they are chanting by reading it from a handwritten parchment scroll – just as the Torah and all holy books were written in ancient times. Make a plan and save the date(s) to get up close and personal with the FJMC Sefer Haftarah Scroll.
