What does Beth Or Brotherhood do?
Brotherhood events, camaraderie and financial support for our community are essential parts of Beth Or. Brotherhood brings men of all generations together to learn, laugh and help strengthen our congregation.
Our Four Pillars -- Fellowship, Community, Service and Support – drive everything we plan, everywhere we participate and every dollar we contribute. The unwritten fifth pillar – Fun – is always a given.
Who is it for?
Everyone! While Brotherhood is about Men and built to be for fostering relationships and tight bonds, it does this by supporting Beth Or Youth programs, religious school, area transitional housing groups, food pantries, Beth Or Cares health & wellness programs and a myriad of other purposes. Our Annual Dinner and Fundraiser is open to all adult members of Beth Or.
How do I get involved?
