Would you like to experience the brotherhood of JMR all year long from the comfort of your own zoom room?
MenschGroups is a online, year-round extension of the Mishpacha Groups experience at JMR. The first online groups began in 2019. We continue to form more groups on an ongoing basis.
The door is now open for you to join a MenschGroup.
What Happens at MenschGroups?
These are facilitated confidential groups focusing on sharing and bonding. Sometimes the MenschGroups facilitator may offer an initial "thought" or "prompt" based on a theme from the weekly Torah portion. Not Torah study. Personal Sharing. From the perspective of a modern Jewish man.
We emphasize compassionate listening to each man's personal situation. We do not respond with feedback or advice.
Benefit by Sharing
Focus On Feelings
“My brothers in our MenschGroup have provided a safe space to begin exploring vulnerability…I am a better person for having participated in this MenschGroup.”
Al Q.
Mishpacha:
"Literally, 'family'. . . .
The word conveys a warm feeling of friendship."
-JPS Dictionary
During the Jewish Men’s Retreat weekend, we create several small Mishpacha of six to eight men. Each group meets three times during the weekend to explore how the retreat’s theme applies to their lives. It is a chance to explore aloud one’s inner self confidentially without feeling evaluated or criticized. Many participants feel that their Mishpacha group experience draws their deepest response and is the most important part of a very vital Jewish Men’s Retreat.

Menschwork’s MenschGroups follow the same principle. Instead of meeting in person over a weekend, each group meets online at a designated time.
“MenschGroups provides me with an opportunity to take stock of what’s affecting and driving me, and share these insights with my brothers who receive them with great care and confidentiality.”
Josh M.
