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.
