Membership

Membership is $50 and includes the cost for Breakfasts (usually 5 or 6) and two dinners.  That’s a value of $100 because non-members and guests pay $10 each per breakfast and $20 each per dinner.  Brotherhood members also receive member discounts for events like our Coffeehouse and our Orioles Outing — this year, it’s a $30 savings just for the Orioles game.  Your non-BHC guy friends can join Brotherhood without being a member of BHC for $50 each.  (Insert membership form)

There is a place for everyone in the Brotherhood.

To learn more, please email our Brotherhood President, Dave Berenhaus.

FAQ

How much are dues and what do I get for them?
Dues are $50 per year and are billed through the BHC office. Dues includes two dinners and our popular Breakfast Series.  Dues also includes member discounts for our Family Orioles Outing and our Brotherhood Shabbat Dinner.  While we'd prefer if you attend events, if you are unable, dues supports the many services that Brotherhood provides for BHC and the Baltimore Community.

Can non-Brotherhood members attend events?
Absolutely!  There is a small fee depending on the event - charged to cover costs.

What about Special Dietary Requirements?
We accommodate all diets and allergies if given reasonable advance notice. Our Breakfast Series treats our participants to  bagels, lox, butter, cream cheese, scrambled eggs, orange juice, coffee and Danish).  Our dinners offer the amazing entree options of Tenderloin and Salmon complimented by string beans, potatoes, and dessert.  Dinners also include a cash bar and light reception.  Please be aware that the BHC kitchen is shared by many organizations and maybe exposed to ingredients that are allergens to some people — such as peanuts, tree nuts, gluten and soy.

What other programs and activities is the Brotherhood considering?
