We invite all adult male members of Temple B’nai Abraham to join and become active members of Men's Club. We are a diverse organization that promotes camaraderie and brotherhood, and offers a connection to TBA and the Jewish community. This is done by offering educational, spiritual and fun programming that reaches out to find something for everyone.

Some of the events on the 2009-2010 calendar include the Annual Men’s Club BBQ in August, Sunday morning minyans with Rabbi Kulwin, the successful and popular Texas Hold'em night, as well as an the annual sports breakfast. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Sisterhood, co-hosting Kabbalat Shabbat dinners and symposiums, as well as participating with the Religious School in the Yom HaShoah program. Also, the bi-annual blood drives that have been so successful over the past few years will also be on next year’s calendar, as well as our successful evening dinner meetings followed by interesting and informative speakers.

In the spring, Men’s Club will take charge of the Temple softball team, and encourages any member of Men’s Club interested in participating to d o so. Finally, we will hold our second annual trip to a local minor league baseball game, and end the year with our always successful Men’s Club Shabbat. Although most of our year is already planned, we are always open to new ideas for events, fundraisers and speaker programs. The Men’s Club can be anything its members want it to be. As always, we welcome and encourage your suggestions and input.
