It’s time to renew your membership in Congregation Tifereth Israel’s Men’s Club. And to help you understand what your annual dues of $36 go for, consider the activities we’ve got for you this summer.
Because the Three Weeks started on June 29 with the Fast of Tammuz (and end with Tisha B’Av on July 20), things will be rather quiet through July.
Not so August, however.
On Sunday, Aug. 1, the annual Men’s Club picnic and afternoon of fun will begin at 3:30 p.m. near the tennis courts behind the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Community Center on College Avenue south of Bexley. We’ll have hot dogs and hamburgers and, as Dr. Dale Levy likes to say, all the fixin’s for all comers. As always, there is no charge. Please RSVP to me, at wtchron@gmail.com, so we can get a head count and make sure everyone gets food. Also let me know if you require anything special to make your picnic more enjoyable.
On Aug. 15, the KIO Region of the Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs will invade our fair city to have a picnic and fill the stands for a Clippers game at Huntington Park. Festivities begin at 1 p.m. at the JCC with a picnic and softball games. The party then will transfer to Huntington Park to see the Clippers against the Louisville Sluggers starting at 5:05 p.m. Tickets are $20 per person; $17 for children under 12 and adults 65 and older. RSVP by Friday, July 9, to Mark Rosenson at mrosen3216@aol.com or (614) 861-3236.
And then on Aug. 22 comes the second annual Columbus Jewish Community Day, starting about 3 p.m. at Huntington Park. Many of the activities are still to be determined, but some things are certain: Ticket price will be $10 per person and will include beverages and two hotdogs, plus all the fixin’s, before the game; children will be allowed on the field before game time; and the opponents will be our Clippers vs. the Toledo Mudhens.
Last year, we sold more than 100 tickets to members of Congregation Tifereth Israel alone, and more than 300 throughout the Jewish community of Columbus and environs. We hope to do even better this year.
Please check with me, at wtchron@gmail.com, for tickets.
Finally, on the last day of the month – at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 31 – the Men’s Club is sponsoring a visit from the regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, Nina Sundell. Recent years have seen a resurgence of anti-Israel activity on the college campuses. These episodes oftentimes sow intimidation and fear among Jewish members of the university communities. Ms. Sundell will lead a discussion regarding anti-Semitic and anti-Israel activity on the college campuses and offer strategies for responding effectively.
Oh, and don’t forget Poker Night. The games are scheduled on July 8 and Aug. 12. Please check with Douglas Segerman, at djsegerman@earthlink.net, or Mike Sobul at lsobul@wowway.com, for locations and times.
Please consider joining us for everything!
Always happy to be of service,
Bill Chronister, Men’s Club President

And don’t forget: We’re looking at starting our brunch speaker series early, in the last week of August, with a visit from an Anti-Defamation League professional to address dealing with anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli activities on campus.

By the way, as I mentioned last month, we’ll be starting our annual membership drive this June, so please give it a thought before we contact you: Wouldn’t you like to be involved in Men’s Club?
