Brotherhood: A Service Arm of Our Congregation
Our Mission:
The mission of Temple Beth Torah's Brotherhood is to promote an ongoing relationship with God, Torah, Israel and the Jewish people through worship, study, culture and Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), L’dor V’Dor (from generation to generation), with special emphasis on our youth as the path to the future.
Temple Beth Torah's Brotherhood strengthens our ties, and our children’s ties, to our Jewish heritage and tradition.
Only with a robust, engaged membership can the Brotherhood most effectively serve the Congregation. The Brotherhood offers opportunities to chair events, participate in the rollout of initiatives, and exhibit leadership. Every male congregant is encouraged to join the Brotherhood.
Who is Brotherhood?We are a group of guys from our congregation - your friends and peers - who get together regularly to build personal, professional, and spiritual relationships with each other and the temple. We talk about issues important to men: being married, being single, children, health, finance, cooking, cars, sports, and generally provide a place for venting, inquiry, seriousness, and silliness. And we provide assistance to numerous facets of the Temple Beth Torah community at large.
What is Brotherhood?Within the structure of the congregation, Brotherhood is the “service arm” of our Temple, and the members of Brotherhood provide many services for our congregation. It is a place where people meet, plan and make friends.
Our Brotherhood dues support family activities, provide extra funds for our youth groups and sponsor temple events such as the annual picnic. Brotherhood is service.
What are Brotherhood's Goals?
- Connect with new and familiar colleagues, friends, and the temple community.
- Strengthen and serve our congregation to promote the growth of Reform Judaism.
- Serve Jewish and humanitarian causes in the local Wellington community and at higher levels.
