September-October 2024
by Jeffrey Hahn, Men’s Club President
During the last two years the Men’s Club has revived itself with many social events, tours, Israel Day Parade marches, food competitions, and parties for all EET members and guests. These picnics, walking tours, game nights, contests, etc… are back again this year! We look forward to the Fall alongside the Sisterhood for the Annual Welcome Back Family Event on Sunday, September 15 (see our Calendar for more details).
At the end of September, Game Night returns, featuring Boggle, Neanderthal Poetry, and other fun games with pizza and drinks. We also have future walking tours, movies, and brunches planned in the fall. And as the High Holy Days get underway, the Men’s Club will construct the Sukkah under Bobby Kolin’s direction and EET’s students will decorate the Sukkah for the weeklong festival of Sukkot.
I’m inviting all Men’s Club members to come to our monthly meetings as we discuss and plan programming and assistance within and outside our EET community. EET has many diverse interest groups, and we are starting to design how the Men’s Club can add different methods to EET’s overall goals. Help us set goals for our community! Looking forward to seeing many of the EET community at our events.
Any questions or ideas can be emailed to mensclub@eastendtemple.org.

Welcome Back Family Event — Create a Vision Board for the New Year
(with the Sisterhood of East End Temple)
Sunday, September 15 from 3:00-5:00pm
Every New Year starts with reflection and a vision of change. But how can you make a large goal come to life more fully? Vision boards are a wonderful way to inspire ourselves to tackle big goals, breaking them down into small steps.
Join our fun-filled workshop where we’ll be building a collage-based vision board to help us make change—for ourselves or our families. Manifest joy, creativity and connection through this collage workshop for the whole community. No art skills needed and materials will be provided. All ages welcome—a great activity for individuals and families alike. Snacks will be sponsored by the Men’s Club.
