The primary goal of the Congregation Ohev Shalom (COS) Men’s Club of (Maitland) is to support our synagogue and its membership through fundraising for our youth, synagogue service projects and various social functions.
Recent Men’s Club programs and activities include monthly bike rides, our annual Super Bowl Raffle and other social activities for our members. Men’s Club funds transportation costs for USY and Kadima programs and conventions, hosts Sunday morning breakfast and speaker events, organizes the annual World Wide Wrap and Men’s Club Shabbat programs and distribute Yom Hashoah candles to synagogue members. Men’s Club assists ushering for High Holiday and weekly Shabbat services, cooking and serving food for the synagogue’s Chanukah Party and Purim Carnival, providing gifts to our B’nai Mitzvot celebrants that foster their continued involvement, actively participate in Ma’asim Tovim (our synagogue’s social action organization for feeding the homeless) and sponsor, plan and present “Men’s Night Out”— an annual community event bringing together affiliated and unaffiliated Jewish men to network, forge new friendships, and celebrate our common bond, all while benefiting local Jewish education.
The Congregation Ohev Shalom Men’s Club has two cool programs on the summer 2024 schedule to help you beat the summer heat. On Sunday morning August 11, the COS Men’ Club will host “Seniors Only Bingo” for folk ages 55 and up. Please register and RSVP at: https://www.ohevshalom.org/event/seniors-bingo3.html.
Please save the date for your chance to become a superhero. On Sunday August 18 the COS Men’s Club will be hosting a blood drive from 8:30am to 1:00pm. Blood donors save lives and this is your chance to roll up your sleeve, pay it forward and save a life. Donating blood is important because it helps people in need and keeps the nation’s blood supply stable. Blood is essential and can’t be manufactured, and every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. Blood donations can help patients survive surgeries, cancer treatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries.
