Brotherhood of Temple Israel
Hearing Men’s Voices 2023-2024
In-Person Discussion Series

Hearing Men's Voices provides a safe, supportive environment in which men can delve into areas of mutual interest and concern. This year’s theme is “Manliness”.

We all grew up with notions of what it means to be a man in various aspects of our lives. Now that we are grown up, what does it turn out to mean? Join us at Hearing Men's Voices. Bring your own stories and your perspectives.

  • Nov. 16, 2023 (Thursday) Manhood through the Ages - When you were a child, what did "being a man" mean to you, or your father?  What do you think it means now?
  • Dec. 12, 2023 (Tuesday) Man Up! We grew up with expectations about manhood. Are you meeting them? What do you do when life does not go according to plan? 
  • Jan. 17, 2024 (Wednesday) On Being a Man - Is "being a man" something that relates to success or is it about fulfillment?
  • Feb. 15, 2024 (Thursday) Man to Man - How are you different from your father?  How would your children answer the same question?
  • Mar. 12, 2024 (Tuesday) Superman - Do you feel that the lines between "men's roles" and "women's roles" have gotten, or should be more flexible?  How have you adjusted? 
  • Apr. 9, 2024 (Tuesday) Observant Man - Judaism has rules and notions about manhood and men's roles that are distinct from those of our larger society. How do you incorporate Judaism's view of men into your view of who you are?
  • May 16, 2024 (Thursday) TBD (rain date)
