Men's Club October Blood Drive

Please join us Sunday,  October 26, 2025 from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM at Congregation Brith Shalom, 4610 Bellaire Blvd, Bellaire, TX 77401 for the Congregation Brith Shalom Men’s Club October Blood Drive.  Donating blood is one of the best ways that you can help another person, and you can help as many as three people with your donation, so please donate if you can!

The life-saving activities of the Gulf-Coast Regional Blood Center have been severely impaired by the COVID-19 epidemic.  Our Men’s Club Blood Drives are an opportunity for us to help remedy this. A Heartfelt Thanks to all those who came to donate at our previous blood drives. 

Here are the Basics of our upcoming Drive:

1)     The Drive will operate BY APPOINTMENT.  However we will welcome walk-ins, but appointments will be given preference.

To make an appointment for our October 26 Drive, please click on the following link:

Brith Shalom Mens Club at the ERJCC Book Festival: Rachel Cockerell

 

Join us at the Ann and Stephen Kaufman Jewish Book & Arts Festival November 2 – 15, 2025.

Inspiring and entertaining, the Ann and Stephen Kaufman Jewish Book & Arts Festival annually delivers a variety of opportunities for the community to learn and experience Jewish literary, culture and the arts. The Book Festival is one of the largest events of its kind in the U.S., attracting established and emerging writers from around the world, representing a myriad of themes and drawing a large and varied audience.

This  event is sponsored in part by Congregation Brith Shalom Men's Club.

THIS EVENT:
MARILYN HASSID EMERGING AUTHOR 
Rachel Cockerell 
Melting Point: Family, Memory, and the Search for a Promised Land 
Sunday, November 9 | 7:00 PM | Kaplan Theatre | Presented with Congregation Beth Israel
 
Tickets: Members: $16 | Public: $21 | Premium Ticket with book: $46 
 
In 1907, a ship packed with 10,000 Russian Jews set sail for Texas, led by the author’s great grandfather. These rebel Zionists were seeking security beyond Palestine and desperate to start a new life. In this innovative family memoir, Cockerell weaves together primary sources – letters, diary entries, interviews, and articles to bring long-silent voices to life in a deeply personal and fascinating exploration of a plan to create a Jewish state in Texas. The story’s ultimate question asks what it means to belong, and what can be salvaged from the past.  

Sponsored by Hannah and Shara Morris in memory of Susan Farb Morris

Marilyn Hassid and Marc Gessner; Karol and Daniel Musher; Betsy and Edward Schreiber; Helen Wils and Leonard Goldstein
