The CEC Men’s Club Book Discussion Group will meet at the synagogue on Sunday, January 30, at 10:30am to discuss

Foreskin’s Lament: A Memoir, by Shalom Auslander

“Shalom Auslander was raised with a terrified respect for God. Even as he grew up and was estranged from his community, his religion and its traditions, he could not find a way to a lofe where he didn’t struggle daily against God. “Foreskin’s Lament reveals Auslander’s ‘painfully, crippingly, incurably, miserably religious’ youth in a strict, socially isolated Orthodox community, and recounts his rebellion and efforts to make a new life apart from it. His combination of unrelenting humor and anger renders a rich and fascinating portrait of a man grappling with his faith and family”

Admission to the Men’s Club book discussion is free. Please bring a dairy or vegetarian breakfast dish to share. For more information email jesse monteagudo.

The Men’s Club of Etz Chaim will experience a blast from the past when it attends the Rising Action Theatre’s production of “The Boys in the Band”. This classic gay play by Mart Crowley was a long-running hit and a major motion picture. In his Manhatten Upper East Side apartment, Michael is throwing a birthday party, complete with a surprise gift: Cowboy, a street hustler. As the evening wears on, fueled by drugs and alcohol, bitter unresolved conflicts among the guests come to light when a game of truth goes terribly wrong.

The Men’s Club “Boys in the Band” theatre party will be on Sunday, December 12 at 7pm. The Rising Action Theatre is located on the campus of the Sunshine Cathedral MCC, 1480 SW 9th Ave, Ft Lauderdale.

Tickets are $30 each, made out to the Men’s Club. RSVP’s must be made by Dec. 1.
