Brotherhood of Temple Israel

IMG_6940

The Brotherhood is here to bring the men of our congregation together—to connect, grow, and support one another in meaningful ways. We create space for friendship, learning, spirituality, and giving back, all while having a good time and building a stronger Jewish community.

We focus our time and energy on:

  • Building friendships through social events that bring men—and their families—closer together.
  • Exploring ideas, hosting conversations and programs that spark curiosity and inspire personal growth.
  • Nurturing spirituality, grounded in Jewish tradition but open to modern and personal paths—especially those that speak to men’s experiences.
  • Giving back, through acts of kindness (gemilut chasadim) and efforts to make a difference (tikkun olam) in our congregation, our local community, and the wider world.
