Brotherhood

NOT YOUR FATHER’S BROTHERHOOD!

This is not your father’s nor your grandfather’s Brotherhood. The men of Temple Beth Ohr play an active role in our congregation. TBO Brothers come together to share in educational, cultural, religious, and social programs. We support our Religious School and youth activities, coordinating social action and religious activities, and sponsoring social events where men can come together for camaraderie and support. TBO Brothers improve the lives of our members, our families, our congregation, and our community – and have a fun time in the process!

Temple Beth Ohr’s Brotherhood is an affiliate of the Men of Reform Judaism, a coalition of more 250 affiliated Brotherhoods with 30,000 members across North America. If you are interested in learning more, becoming a member of Brotherhood, or obtaining a schedule of our events, please contact us.
