Temple Beth Israel’s Brotherhood pitches in all throughout the year. The men of TBI help usher our High Holy Day services then build our spectacular Sukkah that holds over 100 people for a week of Sukkot activities.
The Brotherhood serves up deli food for several fundraisers throughout the year and provides our Mother’s Day brunch. Their fundraising efforts support TBI programs and help support kids attending Jewish summer camp. Come connect with the men of Temple Beth Israel! Contact Gary Greenberg or 559-269-1340 for more information on TBI’s Brotherhood and how you can be involved.
