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.

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 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 celebrates camaraderie, service, and Jewish values . We provide a safe 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.

The 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. Recent Men’s Club programs include a well attended Casino night, a sold-out live concert from the groundbreaking, six-man a cappella vocal sensation “Six13” and a delicious joint Men’s Club / Women’s League Paid-up membership dinner. The high point in Men’s Club’s annual programming calendar is Beth El’s annual Men’s Club Shabbat weekend featuring participatory services, a delicious Shabbat dinner, an extended Shabbat Kiddush lunch and many L’chayim’s. To sweeten the deal, the one and only FJMC Sefer Haftarah was integrated into Temple Beth El’s Men’s Club Shabbat morning services.
