The 2023 World Wide Wrap at CBE was the first official WWW since COVID. Men's Club partnered with the 6th and 7th Graders in Religious School, along with their families, to learn the history and significance of tefillin, and then learned to wrap themselves. So the program consisted of 1)Rabbi and Men's Club Member Josh Winston teaching the audience about tefillin, 2) Learning to Wrap, 3) Learning the associated prayers, 4) Post-event brunch
The 2023 World Wide Wrap at CBE was the first official WWW since COVID. The event this year had more than 50 participants from both the Men's Club as well as Religious School (with their families) and synagogue staff.

Self Assessment
The feedback from attendees as well as those that heard about this event all agreed that this was a terrific event. Our synagogue board was thrilled that Men's Club was able to bring this event back to the congregation and involve so many people from multiple generations
This event clearly tied to FJMC's tagline, particularly in the areas of Leadership and Community. The Men's Club at CBE has continued to show leadership in bringing events back after COVID, and while these events are sponsored and led by Men's Club, they have generally been open to the entire community to stress the importance of that interaction.
