B'nai Moshe Men's Club B'nai Moshe Men's Club Watch this page for men's club programs for the fall. Reproduced below is an address which was recently presented to the Congregation by Joel Shayne co-president of the B'nai Moshe Men's Club at the Annual Men's Club Shabbat service. The theme of this year s Men s Club Shabbat is Our Fathers Ourselves . Men s Club Shabbat provides every Men s Club in the Federation of Jewish Men s Clubs the opportunity to renew their commitment to the vital role that Men s Clubs play in the Synagogue, in the Conservative Movement, and in Jewish Life. Men s Voices , which examines issues facing men in their lives today.
Fathers provide the role models for their sons of what it means to be a man.
Yet changes in society and in our synagogues may push us to new and different definitions, and add to the complexity of relations between generations. The challenge today is to gain insights that will enable men to find new comfort and meaning within an ever-changing religious and secular environment . Men s Clubs and their activities are changing. As the demands of our lives accelerate, as families become more and more extended, as the stresses of life and work increase, the types of programs and services that our Men s Clubs and synagogues offer must change accordingly. I have been a member of B nai Moshe for 18 years.
