Annual Yellow Candle Boxing Event
Wednesday, April 4th, 5:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
Every year the Men’s Club sends out a yellow candle to each of our members, to be lit on Erev Yom HaShoah (Wednesday night, April 18th) at sunset. The package contains a prayer for the 6 million Jews who perished and a request for a donation to Men’s Club to support valuable programs, including Holocaust education.
We will be gathering on April 4th to pack the candles. We need at least 15 volunteers to make this event run smoothly. Pizza and drinks will be provided. If you have children or grandchildren in need of community service credits, this is an excellent opportunity for them to be involved an increase their awareness of the Shoah and the importance of keeping this knowledge alive in the Jewish community. We’ll provide a service credit letter as well.
Please consider attending both the community Yom HaShoah service at Lawrence Family JCC on Sunday, April 15th at 1:30 p.m. and the Tifereth Israel service on Yom HaShoah, at 7:00 p.m. on April 18th in the sanctuary.
Biennial Western Region FJMC Retreat and Young Men‘s HaDor Habah Leadership Conference
June 1st - 3rd, American Jewish University, Los Angeles
The gender imbalance in synagogue life has become so apparent that it is beginning to receive much needed communal attention. In response, the Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs has made the development of young male leadership a priority and is sponsoring the second annual Hador Habah leadership program at regional retreats throughout North America. The goal of this initiative is to empower younger men to take the first steps to become the next generation of leaders of their Jewish communities.
We’re looking for a few young men to join us at our annual regional retreat where they will experience the camaraderie of men’s club leaders from throughout Oregon, California, Arizona, and New Mexico. We also encourage everyone else to seriously consider attending. We know you have many choices for your limited time, but we are confident you will return from this weekend retreat inspired and connected to a whole new group of involved Jewish men. The cost of the weekend is $200 per person. Generous subsidies and mileage reimbursements are available for Hador Habah attendees and early registrations for the retreat. We hope to send at least six members of our chapter to the retreat. Contact us if you are able to attend.
Coming in Late June and August:
Watch for announcements for our first annual craft beer tasting night in June, and take your trained palates on an adventure at our August Pub Crawl.
