Going Global

The Americans are coming!

By Jerry Brodsky

The International Region of FJMC International is advancing our efforts to extend our reach further around the globe, with a new pamphlet designed to inform and secure new members worldwide.

FJMC International’s International Region brochure

Please download and share this Brotherhood Beyond Borders pamphlet to Jewish men you have contact with anywhere outside of North America. We will be translating it into French and Spanish soon but for now the English version will probably suffice for your contacts.

We are also now actively partnering with both Masorti Olami and Kulanu to reach more communities and Jewish men in Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America and Australia, and are currently focusing on extending our annual World Wide Wrap, with a goal of supplying more tefillin to those in need.

Rabbi Oliver Joseph

Additionally, we are working on plans for a first-ever regional FJMC retreat in Europe. We now have Rabbi Oliver Joseph in London helping us set up the event in the United Kingdom for mid- to late October of 2026, and look forward to sharing more about this exciting opportunity in the months to come. Rabbi Joseph plans to join us at the annual Joel S. Geffen Leadership Development Institute in Baltimore in a few months as well, as does Dan Alpert, our JCC Budapest contact, who is also part of our UK retreat planning group.

You can help to support our international outreach efforts by adding to our seed fund designed to help these new members connect with us at LDI, the UK retreat and the 2027 Biennial Convention. For more information on how to do so, or for more information about our efforts, contact Regional President Jerry Brodsky () or Regional Treasurer Mike Berman ().
