September 13-15, 2024

Bi-Regional Retreat with the Tri-State and Kentucky-Indiana-Ohio Regions of the Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs

Join us for our Bi-Regional Retreat with the Tri-State and Kentucky-Indiana-Ohio Regions of the Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs.

It will be held at Camp Wise-Chardon, 13164 Taylor Wells Road, Chardon Township, Ohio (about 50 minutes east of downtown Cleveland and 30-40 minutes from Beachwood, Ohio).

The cost is $150 for 1st time attendees and $200 for returning attendees.

The regional retreat is a special opportunity for us to gather together as Jewish men to celebrate Shabbat while developing new and stronger friendships, bonding over games, music, sport and the outdoors, supporting and learning from each other, and enjoying time away from the hustle-and-bustle of daily life.

About FJMC

The Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs (FJMC) is the international umbrella organization for a confederation of more than 250 men’s auxiliaries serving 25,000 men throughout the United States and Canada, with a handful of clubs in other countries. Although our chapters are concentrated in North America, the influence of FJMC’s programs and contributions is felt worldwide.

FJMC’s mission is to involve Jewish men in Jewish life, and our social, religious, spiritual, educational and environmental programs have a profound impact on our congregations, our youth, world Jewry, and even the world around us.

Our roots are in the Conservative/Masorti Movement, but our reach now extends well beyond to embrace the full spectrum of Jewish observance and engagement, from unaffiliated and secular to Orthodox.
