For
Our Sake, As Men...MRJ Sponsors the ACHIM Corps Project
MRJ’s
innovative Achim Corps programs speak to our members as fathers,
sons, spouses, friends, and especially, as brothers. Our goal is to increase
our ranks with men infused with a new sense of fellowship, a stronger
confidence as Reform Jews, and a renewed commitment to perform mitzvot
for their temple and their community. Current Achim Corps Programs include:
an MRJ Men’s Health Initiative Program, step by step program guides to conduct men’s health oriented activities with modules covering prostate cancer, stress and heart disease; (click for more information)
an MRJ Men and Observance Series, a collection of innovative, adult education modules designed specifically for men to increase their familiarity with Shabbat, the High Holidays, and with Passover; (click for more information)
an MRJ Men and Contemporary Roles Program, best exemplified by MRJ’s sponsorship of the URJ publication And You Shall Teach Them to Your Sons, a book designed for fathers and their teenage sons to jointly explore the Torah's relevance in their lives as Jew men; and, finally, through publication of ACHIM Magazine, the premier Jewish men’s magazine in North America.
