The Men’s Group provides an authentic environment for members to foster camaraderie, share Jewish values and engage in community through social, educational, religious and civic activities.
If you are interested in joining the Men’s Group, please contact co-chairs Steve Snow or Jared Mittleman at MensGroup@tiwestport.org.
After our successful first year launch of the TI Men’s Group, we have an exciting lineup of events scheduled through the next few months with more to be announced. Today is a great opportunity to go down the list of events and register for as many as your current schedule permits:
