We’re on to January, and another round of big doings.
First is the monthly Men’s Club Brunch, at 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 10. We’ll have Andrea Applegate, director of workforce development for the Columbus Chamber, and resume guru Jeremy Worthington discussing the role of social media – Facebook, Twitter and the like – in job searching and career change.
Also on Jan. 10 is the first KIO Region Poker Tournament in Cincinnati. Please contact Doug Segerman djsegerman@earthlink.net, for additional information.
Then comes an incredible weekend – Jan. 23-24.
The activities start on Shabbat morning with the annual Men’s Club/Women of Tifereth Israel Shabbat. It’s always exciting to see fellow congregants step up on the bimah and take a role in services, and we hope to see everyone lend a hand again this year. To volunteer for a role – reading Torah or reciting prayers or blessings – please contact Greg Margulies at gmarguli@gmail.com or Rebecca Gurk at rebeccagurk@aim.com.
After services, you can go home, take a nap, and wake up refreshed and ready to go. You’ll need the energy in order to master the trivia that Mike Sobul will be throwing at you in the second edition of Quiz Night, also on Jan. 23.
Please contact Mike, at lsobul@wowway.com, and keep an eye on the Men’s Club blog – ctimensclub.blogspot.com – for complete information on entries.
And on Jan. 24, be ready to ante up for the second annual, no holds barred, Men’s Club Texas Hold ’em Tournament, which will start with registration at 1 p.m., with cards flying at 1:30. Contact Doug Segerman, at djsegerman@earthlink.net, and check the blog for details.
We are always happy to be of service,
Bill Chronister

Keruv Committee needs your help!
Keruv Korner
Over the past year, the Men’s Club has been trying to establish a Keruv initiative at Tifereth Israel. The Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs has made it a priority for member organizations to be involved in helping synagogues be more welcoming (keruv) to congregants, their families and the community. This is a serious issue, and our Men’s Club has been actively raising awareness of our congregation.
For the past six months, we’ve dedicated space in the Forum to talk about Keruv. Additionally, we set up a Keruv e-mail account so you could ask questions and discuss with us any issues you might have. So far, we have received no questions, comments or concerns. We are wondering whether Tifereth Israel has any issues regarding welcoming, or whether we’re not asking the right questions.
Therefore, we have decided to conduct a very short survey regarding Keruv and welcoming. We ask that you please fill out our survey. Your input is invaluable and will help us determine whether there is any need for further discussion or programming on welcoming and acceptance by the Men’s Club for Tifereth Israel.
The Internet address of the survey is: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7DBJTBY
In the mean time, if you would like to contact us directly and share your thoughts, comments or questions, please contact us at keruvkorner@gmail.com.
