Temple Tikvah Brotherhood is a fraternal
organization whose goals are camaraderie,
fostering a sense of community, and supporting
the youth of Temple Tikvah.

Brotherhood thinks of itself as the “Cool Uncles.”
Your parents say what you want isn’t in the budget. 
You’ve spent all of your own money on study
materials and donations to charity.  In rides Uncle
Shecky on his white steed (in this case, probably
a late model midlife crisis Corvette). Bingo! (nearly)
Instant subsidies for class trips, youth group events,
and summer camp.

To nourish our kinderlech Brotherhood dons aprons
to provide seasonal luncheons--latkes for Chanukah
and matzoh brei for Passover.  To reduce car
insurance premiums, Brotherhood hosts an annual
Defensive Driving Class, which is open to the community.

Brotherhood also provides Chanukah and Passover
package delivery to the less fortunate.  The packages
are assembled through the Bergmann-Hurwitz Fund
and Brotherhood volunteers pitch in to deliver prior to
each holiday.

On the last Sunday of Religious School, Brotherhood
holds a Field Day where the men of Brotherhood take
part in a sacred ritual of male bonding – the charring of
animal and plant matter (Hot dogs, hamburgers and veggie
burgers) for a barbeque lunch. The youth show their
appreciation at the annual Youth Group vs. Brotherhood
Softball Game wherein the hard-charging youth of Temple
Tikvah engage in a battle for bragging rights with the
soft-creaking Brotherhood.

Brotherhood sponsors social events like couples nights,
dinners, movies and outings to sporting venues as well as
tennis nights, bowling brunches, and a fall pancake breakfast
for the Congregation and prospective members.

The central zircon in the crown that is the panoply of
Brotherhood events is Man of the Year, held every spring
to support Brotherhood’s Youth Activity and Scholarship
program funding.  There is a festive dinner, a ‘This is Your
Life’ video presentation, and roast for the honoree followed
by an auction of goods and services donated by Temple
members and local merchants.
