The TAE Brotherhood is a diverse group of men of all ages committed to meaningful social interaction, learning, and having fun together. We are also committed to hosting fundraising events,  raising money to financially support the Temple and making an impact on the cultural and spiritual well-being of our congregation.  We foster strong friendships among Brotherhood members by sponsoring programs such as the Sunday Morning Breakfast Speaker Series,  monthly Social nights, weekly Monday evening Men’s Torah Study, a Passover Seder and once a year, and  Friday evening Men’s Shabbat.

TAE Sunday Morning Speaker Event

May 7, 2023 in the TAE Social Hall

Our own Rabbi Barry Diamond will speak on Kabbalah, Mysticism, and the Mysteries of the World

If traditional belief in God doesn’t excite you, then prepare yourself for some Jewish ideas that are so insightful, so radical, and so modern, that many rabbis tried to suppress them. But they couldn’t. Join Rabbi Diamond on May 7, and learn how ancient insights can transform our lives, whether or not we believe.  Rabbi Diamond’s Sunday morning events have always been entertaining and insightful.  This one promises to be the same.  We hope to see you there!

For those of you who plan to attend, PLEASE  RSVP TO EITHER BROTHERHOOD PRESIDENT BOB SALFI OR HERB SHUKIAR to know how much food to provide.  Our normal bagel brunch fare includes lox, bagels, cream cheese, herring, onions, tomatoes, fruits and other tempting treats. 

There is no charge for this event, but we do suggest a $5 donation to help defray the event’s cost.

Everyone in our TAE community is welcome, not just Brotherhood members.  If you plan to attend, please RSVP to
