Men's Club Shabbat - Friday, June 18th

We welcome all members of Congregation Agudath Israel, and the North Jersey Jewish Community at large, to join the Men's Club of CAI as they lead Friday night Shabbat services. The Men's Club receives this annual honor on Friday night, June 18, 8 pm.

In addition to the prayer service, there will be some additional pomp and circumstance. We will be awarding the Jack Lippe Scholarship to a deserving, graduating high school senior. We will also be honoring the Men's Club Man of the Year, Larry Dodyk, pictured second from right. The evening will wrap with the induction of the new Men's Club board. Oneg and schnapps following services.

Come out and support this award winning Men's Club and contact Scott Kopen if you would like to volunteer to take on a part: scottkopen@comcast.net

Bocian Takes Texas Hold 'Em Crown, May 5th

Art Bocian (pictured, middle) won the Men's Club's Spring 2010 Texas Hold 'Em Poker Tournament on May 5th, earning his second career title. Newcomer Saul Gutterman (right) came in second and Harriet Sepinwall, (at left) a mainstay at these tournaments, took home her first career trophy with a 3rd place showing.

Always one of our most popular events, the Texas Hold 'Em Tournament brought out a nice crowd. (Could be the free pizza that brings 'em out...or the big deal of winning the coveted Hold 'Em Trophy!) The poker tournament is the last social program of the calendar year. Another tournament will return in the fall.

Special thanks to the event organizers: Harvey Hershkowitz, Larry Dodyk and Adam Shandler, and of course, all the players who came out and enjoyed the game!
