    Hearing Men's Voices

    Hearing Men's Voices provides a safe, supportive environment in which men can delve into areas of mutual interest. This discussion series focuses on the many facets of the life cycle. By exploring how Jewish men experience the different stages of life, we hope to better understand others and ourselves.

    "Connections"


     
    Men connect through...

    Achievement

    Tuesday, November 17, 7:30 PM

    Ken Turkewrtz, facilitator

    How the need to achieve leads to and impacts connections with other men at work, in friendships and how these can affect your life balance.

    Judaism

    Tuesday. December 8, 7:30 PM

    Mark Popovsky, facilitator

    Identification with Judaism and peers in shul, whether for spiritual or social reasons offers a major source of male connection and identity.

    Sports

    Tuesday, January 12, 7:30 PM

    Steve Elkin, facilitator

    Whether sharing pride in Jewish athletes, local teams, or participating in sports, athletics have long been a major source of male bonding. From overprotective mothers to early challenges with other kids, sports create a relational playing field.

    Humor

    Tuesday, February 9, 7:30 PM

    Harvey Wolf, facilitator

    Laughter has always been a way men connect, ranging from the Three Stooges, the Borscht belt, to Seinfeld. Humor unites men as a safe and fun form of expression.

    Food

    Tuesday, May 4, 7:30 PM
    (Note changed date)

    Howard Rothberg, facilitator

    "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach," and as Jewish men, food is closely tied with our identity. Cooking, eating, and sharing a I'chayim offer key connections for men.
