Men’s Club Softball Team
Synagogue Softball – a seven-inning Temple Emanuel tradition! Spend weekend mornings playing in the city-wide modified fast-pitch Softball League. All games are played on Sundays at 9:00 am, 11:00 am, or 1:00 pm beginning in January and ending in mid-June. Our games are competitive (but not cutthroat), and family members often join players, so the atmosphere is fun and friendly. The minimum age is 20; there is no maximum age limit. Our own Rabbi Aaron is a member of the team!
Temple Emanuel’s Men’s Club has a number of different softball teams for you to join. For more information, please contact [email protected]
Annual Poker Tournament
What better way to enjoy each other’s company and raise money for the synagogue’s early childhood center than to play in our Texas Hold-em tournament? Our community-wide poker tournament provides an opportunity for you to get your game face on and show us what you’ve got in this evening of drawings, prizes, food, and drinks! Invite your friends and family to this poker face-off of a lifetime.
