In the September-October-November 2025 issue of ‘The Scribe‘, Temple Beth Am’s quarterly synagogue newsletter, Men’s Club President Larry Schwartz posted; “
“Hello fellow TBA members. Summer is fading and Fall is in the horizon and it’s time for the September, October & November edition of your Men’s Club Scribe article. Please let me know if you actually take the time to read my exciting and informative articles each quarter. My ego could use a boost! The Summer did not have many events planned although the Men’s Club helped put on the Temple’s Back to Shul BBQ which immediately followed the Open House. I hope everyone had enough to eat and enjoyed being together for our annual BBQ. Our Annual Football Pool tickets are still available even if you received the Scribe after the season started. You have a chance to win up to $150 each week of the season and there are 18 weeks in the season so if you miss a week of playing there are still many weeks left to win. Lastly, I’m proud to say that the Men’s Club won 2 Torch Awards at the FJMC convention in Chicago. A Gold Award for Hearing Men’s Voices which had to do with our Men at the Round Table event and an Honorable Mention Certificate for our Football Pool Fundraiser. We also won a Quality Club Award for completing a number of requirements. Thanks to everyone for helping us win these awards. Well that about wraps it up for this edition. See you at our next event.”
The Beth Am Men’s Club invites you to join the “Men of the Round Table“, a place for men to gather to share ideas, thoughts, concerns, happy occasions, sad ones, health issues or any other topic on your minds. “This has been a very successful program at other synagogues, and we believe it will be a meaningful experience for the men of Beth Am as well” said Men’s Club President Larry Schwartz.
