The Men’s Club would like to invite you to participate in our new series, “Hearing Men’s Voices,” which enables members to candidly and confidentially discuss issues of mutual concern that bear on their personal lives. Hearing Men's Voices provides a safe, supportive environment in which men can delve into areas of mutual interest. This discussion series will focus on the many issues related to men, work, and fatherhood. By exploring themes in these areas, we hope to better understand others and ourselves. This discussion group operates on the premise that we will “open up” to each other about common life issues, if given the opportunity to do so in a confidential and comfortable setting.

WE PUT THE OHM INTO SHALOM! Scientific research has verified repeatedly the positive effects of turning down the body for a few minutes each day. And who needs that more than busy Mommies? Meditation lowers heart rate, reduces blood pressure, eases tension, and clears the mind. This class is open to everyone, Grand-mommies (and Grand-poppies) too, and you don’t even have to be Jewish. But our mantras always are, and are chosen based on the season and the Torah readings. Come do yourself a tovah (a good thing) and treat yourself to a few minutes of inspiration and relaxation. It will make the rest of the day so much better!

The Daf Shevu’i class has been meeting for a few years and is wide-open to new members. We do one page of Talmud a week. Sound slow? Only to those who may have never opened a page of Talmud. The page or daf is pretty dense. We are studying Sanhedrin or the laws that governed that great body of scholars who handled the legal cases of the Jewish people through the second Temple period. What were their court procedures, how did they go about executing the condemned, who was eligible for the world-to-come and who was not, etc.? These are fascinating subjects that will undoubtedly inspire much conversation.
