From past to present Men's Club is a tradition of almost every synagogue but locally nobody does it like we do! We have started trends that the others are following like the Men's Club Retreat where for one weekend a year a group of men share their thoughts, ups, downs and life together. The weekend is led by Rabbi David and it is a religious and spiritual event that I highly recommend. I assure you it is well worth attending.

SAVE THE DATE: JEWISH GENETIC SCREENING AT TEMPLE EMANUEL

On Sunday, December 2, we are hosting, i� partnership with the Victor Center in Philadelphia, a day for Jewish genetic screening. This event is open to the community and we encourage you to share this information with friends and family so they can take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. The Victor Centers provide full service genetic counseling and screening for all individuals and couples interested in getting screened for Jewish genetic diseases. Genetic screening is a process in which, through a simple blood test, a person's genes are examined for changes, called mutations, in specific genes. A person who is found to carry a mutation in one or more Ashkenazi Jewish genetic disease genes is a healthy individual and is not at risk to develop the disease. Genetic screening is used to determine whether an individual or couple is at increased risk to have a baby with a hereditary disorder by passing on a gene mutation to their offspring. It is strongly recommended that genetic screening be performed prior to pregnancy to afford the couple the most reproductive options.
