Mens' Club Shabbat

The B'nai Jeshurun Men's Club Shabbat and Cholent Cookoff is presented to encourage services participation by our members and congregational comradery. It was vitally important to resume this Shabbat program, after a two year absence as a result of Covid 19 precautions.
B'nai Jeshurun Men's Club Shabbat each year involves approximately twenty of our members who actively participate in all aspects of the Shabbat morning service. We promote the service weeks in advance, encouraging congregational attendance. When the Shabbat service is over, the congregation is invited to enjoy an afternoon luncheon in the Synagogue larger hall, presenting our Men's Club 23rd Annual Shelia Rabb Memorial Cholent Cookoff. This past year was extremely well attended, having been suspended this past two years due to Covid 19. Over 300 congregants, family members and community guests sampled from nineteen different Cholent recipes, all prepared from our own B'nai Jeshurun different teams of chefs. Each delicacy was judged, recognitions were awarded, and all in attendance enjoyed themselves. Our Men's Club Shabbat event encouraged congregants to reconnect with the Synagogue, as well as with fellow congregants. This year's event was most impactful.
