SNHJMC

Since 1982 the Southern New Hampshire Jewish Men’s Club has been a social organization for men in the southern New Hampshire Jewish community. The SNHJMC was formed for the purpose of providing a vehicle for members to socialize and have fun!

The Club’s mission is based on building a brotherhood of like-minded men who wish to share their commitment and values to those in the greater Southern New Hampshire Jewish community. The Southern New Hampshire Jewish Men’s Club is a non-profit organization serving all male members of the Southern NH Jewish Community regardless of synagogue membership for over thirty years.

We have positive relationships with Synagogues in the Southern New Hampshire area. Many of our members belong to Temple Beth Abraham in Nashua, Congregation Betenu in Amherst, and Etz Hayim Synagogue in Derry. 

Estate Planning from A to Z will be the topic of a presentation by Attorney William H. Barry III on Sunday, February 8, 2026, at 10:00 am, in person at Temple Beth Abraham. The Southern New Hampshire Jewish Men’s Club is proud to present this interesting and informative discussion. The Men’s Club breakfast will be served at 9:30 am before the speaker begins.

A Nashua native, Bill Barry is a third-generation lawyer serving the Greater Nashua area. A graduate of the College of the Holy Cross, Bill earned his law degree at St. Louis University Law School and has been practicing in Nashua since 1985. Outside of work, Bill has been a member of many civic organizations and a member of Temple Beth Abraham, serving the Congregation in numerous capacities.

Bill’s lively discussion will cover important documents and concepts to be considered when designing an estate plan regardless of your age. Items such as Last Will and Testaments, Revocable Trusts, Durable Powers of Attorney, Healthcare Powers of Attorney, Nomination of Guardianships and HIPPA Releases will all be discussed. You will also learn about the benefits and burdens of probate, the pitfalls of dying intestate (i.e. without a will), and the need for young adults (18 to 25) to have their own estate planning package.

Following his presentation, Attorney Barry will conduct a question-and-answer period covering any questions that you may have regarding wills or estate planning. Please be sure to join us on Sunday, February 8th for Bill’s interesting and informative talk.

Please register in advance by emailing breakfastrsvp@snhjmc.org to confirm your registration and indicate whether you plan to join us for breakfast or just the presentation.

Do you have children or grandchildren who will be traveling to Israel as part of a semester abroad or a summer experience?  How about local Jewish summer camps?

The philanthropic arm of the Southern NH Jewish Men’s Club, the Bruce Retchin/Neil Goren fund, was instituted to provide financial stipends for our community’s youth planning such ventures. All that is required is a letter from your student or camper outlining their plans and the educational benefit of the program or camp they are attending.

Please send your request to the SNHJMC, c/o Temple Beth Abraham, 4 Raymond Street, Nashua NH 03064.  We ask that we receive your request by April 15th each year for consideration.

Join the Board.  We don’t ask for a lot of time, a mostly monthly board meeting usually a week before each event, and would hope you could share your creativity and wisdom in helping us craft the programming this year.  We want to provide programming for what YOU and your fellow members would like to see.  Help us make that vision a reality.

We can always use help for programming and events.  You don’t have to be a board member to help!  The Officers and Board always want to hear from our members about anything related to the Club, Programming, or Events.  Your creativity and ideas are always needed!  Please reach out to the President at president@snhjmc.org.

Our Kitchen Krew is looking for help, now that we are able to have events at the Temple again.  If you can spare some time before breakfast to help cook, or setup, we could use your help.  Please consider joining us!

For more information, please contact Monroe Kahn at president@snhjmc.org.  Thank you!
