Men’s Group

Achim (The Men’s Group)

We provide opportunities for fathers, brothers, sons and all men of M’kor Shalom to share activities that deepen the experience of being part of our congregation … and that are just plain fun. Ideas for new activities are welcome. Check the calendar regularly for Achim events.

Monthly Lunches at Short Hills Deli
Join us for pleasant conversation and a good meal on the first Wednesday of every month. Order from the menu and pay for what you eat. No RSVP necessary. Click here for more information.

Spring Softball
M’kor Shalom fields at least one softball team to participate in the Jewish Athletic Group (JAG) league each spring. The number of teams depends on the number of men who sign up.

Chrain Gang – Passover Wine & Horseradish Sale
Achim has sponsored annual horseradish-making sessions for more than 20 years. The home-made horseradish is then sold at our Passover Shuk along with Israeli wines and items from the M’kor Shalom Gift Shop to enhance your holiday.

Craft Beer Tasting
Our first beer festival showcasing local breweries’ best bottles, along with beer education sessions, was held in June 2015. A repeat of this event was held in the fall of 2016.

More programs and events occur throughout each year. To learn more or to suggest activities, please contact John Hailperin or Stan Smoller at Achim@mkorshalom.org.
