Men’s Club activities will again include the Yom HaShoah Yellow Candle ™ Program from the FJMC (Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs).
Mark your calendar now—Yellow Candle lighting will be April 15, 2007. Candles will be mailed to BSKI congregants in March, but the Men’s Club is also making available extra candles for those who want to provide them for students away at school, or children and other family members. More details will follow. Men’s Club is preparing additional programming to memorialize the Six Million, with details to be published later.
The Men’s Club sponsored website has made improvements to help our congregation:
• The website will allow payments for programs and fees by credit card, saving your postage and time
• A new program will notify Minyanaires
of up coming yahrzeits, so that Kaddish can be recited. Proposed programming ideas include “Movie and Discussion” programs and fundraising assistance to the youth groups, as well as cooperative programs with Women’s League.
Let us know what activities you would like to see developed.

We welcome new ideas. The Men’s Club must for the first time in many years increase our dues. Our relationship with the FJMC requires that our dues include $11 for national and regional dues. This amount is being added to our basic dues bringing the total amount to $36 per year. These additional fees will provide our members with a national magazine, and most importantly, help provide scholarships for our youngsters for camping and Israel programs. An additional note regarding Bar and Bat Mitzvahs concerns the presentation of the Men’s Club gift: Most often, the President or Past President enjoys this honor, but at the families’ request, any current member of the Men’s Club may be given this honor. Let me know if you want a specific member of the Men’s Club to make the presentation. So join us in our programs, join us as members.

The new Sunday meetings will include lessons and practice for laying tefillin as we recognize the growing desire for many of our men to observe the mitzvah of wearing tefillin.
Note! Women are welcome as well, of course.
Thanks also to Harlie, Howard, Marvin, Shimon and Rabbi Miller for making the installation successful, and especially to Brad for his service as President.
