Purim is Monday night, March 2 and Tuesday, March 3.

The American Zionist Movement (AZM) has taken the lead with a Purim project you can participate in.

Here are the details:

The American Zionist Movement invites all ZFs to join our Purim Connection project. AZM is continuing our longtime Purim tradition of supporting Israeli society (with special holiday sweets and greetings of friendship from the Diaspora) — this year with a special focus on the Reservists who have given so much over the past two years. 

Join FJMC as we discuss the reintroduction of our Individual Membership effort.

• Learn about networking opportunities and connecting to other Jewish men

• Explore what FJMC offers - virtually and in person

• Hear from FJMC Leadership about new FJMC initiatives 

• Lend your voice to create programs designed for you

Brought to you by the HMV Committee.  We will facilitate the discussion which offers each of us the opportunity to express how we think and feel about the rise in antisemitism based on our own personal experiences.

Catch the 3rd episode of Mamas' Boys, "The Crying Bully and Other Stories w/Etgar Keret." coming out this Thursday.

Available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, iTunes, Amazon Music/Audible, iHeartRadio and PodChaser.

Passover is coming fast—and we’re putting together something special: a Men’s Haggadah for FJMC International, built by the voices, creativity, humor, and hard-won wisdom of our own FJMC International guys.

This Haggadah is meant to be a living one. Personal. Honest. Sometimes funny. Sometimes tender. Always aimed at the same journey the Seder is really about: moving from slavery to freedom—in our lives, our relationships, and the way we show up as men.

Here’s the ask: We’re opening a limited number of contribution slots for men across FJMC International. You can contribute in a variety of ways.

Men’s Club Shabbat is an opportunity for Men’s Club members to lead the Shabbat service(s).

Engage your members as leaders.

Expand their comfort level by asking men to do something they have not done before – like reading Torah or leading a Hebrew reading.

Minyan of Comfort is a joint project of the FJMC and the Cantors Assembly.

The project involves a lay training initiative coupled with the publication, Creating a Minyan of Comfort.

The training and accompanying publication are designed to:

• Assist synagogues in developing a corps of trained shiva minyanim lay leaders
• Clarify and share community minhag and halacha
• Gain familiarity with the various siddurim and other booklets that are often used in a shiva minyan
• Learn the traditional nusach for each service (e.g. Mincha; Ma’ariv)
• Gain awareness of any special liturgical needs (e.g. Rosh Chodesh; Al HaNisim; Omer; etc.)
• Understand the role of menachem avel, comforter of the bereaved
• Encourage clubs to share and collaborate on their own Minyan of Comfort implementations

The last day to order Bulk candles and supplies is March 10, 2026.
