It’s February, and Purim and Passover will be here before we know it. But at FJMC International, we haven’t forgotten. Here are two upcoming programs to help you – and us – prepare.
Unmasking: A Pre-Purim Men’s Webinar on the Masks We Wear – Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2026.
FJMC International invites you to an interactive pre-Purim webinar with Ashanti Branch – creator of the Million Mask Movement and founder of the Ever Forward Club – that explores the “masks” men wear (strength, success, stoicism, humor, control) and what it takes to reveal the more authentic self underneath them. Grounded in the Purim story – where Esther’s hidden identity becomes the turning point – this experience treats masking not as a flaw but as protection that can also become a barrier to connection and wholeness.
Passover Programming on the horizon.
FJMC recently sent out an email from Benny Sommerfeld, our vice president of Jewish programming, inviting our community to participate in building our Men’s Passover Haggadah.
We have 49 different opportunities to participate. Simply click this link for the Excel doc. Scroll the list of options and add your name and email next to that option. Please select only one option at this time so we can spread the opportunities around. Please mind the final due date: Friday, March 6, 2026. Please also expect an email or two from me checking in.
Reach out to Rabbi Noam Raucher at with any questions.
Rabbi Noam Raucher is executive director of FJMC International.
