The December 14 Brunch speaker will be Gary Smith, president of the brotherhood at Cincinnati's Adath Israel Congregation and an FJMC Keruv consultant.
What is Keruv? We know that, increasingly, our families are growing to include members who aren't yet, and might never become, Jewish. But do these families feel as comfortable as we might hope they would when visiting the synagogue and taking part in social activities?
Men's Clubs across the nation have begun addressing these questions with an eye toward helping all of our Jewish families in their many forms find a home here.
The word "keruv" is Hebrew, and its root means "to bring close." As the word implies, keruv initiatives are aimed at bringing people closer to the synagogue, the Jewish community, and Jewish life itself.
The Federation of Jewish Men's Club and the USCJ's Keruv initiatives, seek to provide guidance and comfort to those within congregations who are intermarried, whose children are intermarried, or who have extended family of another faith.
Here at Tifereth Israel Men’s Club, Vice President Bill Chronister and Treasurer Matthew Kennedy are leading the effort.
