- “FJMC is such a great organization and I relish the opportunity to let potential new clubs find out more about us. We have many tools that we can share from, We are FJMC to the Taste of FJMC and much more.” – Danny Mandeau, Chair of Expanding Clubs and Membership
Although a “Men’s Club” or “Brotherhood” by its very name is an organization centered on the Men of a congregation and their needs and interests, there are other people in the congregation key to getting things started. Probably the most important of these is the synagogue clergy. While much of your programming might ultimately be in the social and recreational realm, it is important that you show your clergy how the Men’s Club will assist them by providing more committed men for various synagogue activities.
The first step in seeding a new “Men’s Club” or “Brotherhood” is to discuss the idea and gain support from your Clergy, Synagogue President and Executive Director. All of these people will ultimately have a stake in what your Men’s Club will be doing so it doesn’t hurt to get them “on your team” from the start.
The Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs will be glad to talk to you and your Rabbi to help explain what a Men’s Club or Brotherhood can do for your Synagogue. For more information, please contact Danny Mandeau, Chair of Expanding Clubs and Membership at dmandeau@fjmc.org.
