Prepare for the High Holy Days
From the Rabbi ....
The High Holy Days will be here soon! In fact, Elul, the Hebrew month that precedes Rosh Hashanah, begins this Sunday. During Elul, Jews have traditionally set aside part of each day to study and prepare for the High Holy Days (HHD's). This custom allowed Jewish people to encounter and grapple with the themes of the HHD's well before they ever arrived for services.

Let the Sun Shine - TBC to Go Solar!
As introduced at May's Congregational meeting, TBC has the opportunity to have solar energy panels installed on the roof of the new building, producing just about all of the electricity our building utilizes throughout the year. Due to generous renewable energy credits, "green energy" financing and a robust solar marketplace, TBC has gone through a bidding/selection process and now has the opportunity to - at no cost to TBC - have a solar generation system completely installed and maintained on our behalf.
Benefits of the system include cost-savings through a 20 year fixed electrical generation rate that is significantly lower than our current rate, as well as demonstrating our commitment to being mindful stewards of our environment. Further, the panels themselves will be positioned in such a way as to complement and not interfere with the aesthetic of the new part of our building. Interested in learning more and seeing renderings of the completed project?
Click here for more information and renderings. After you've taken a look, we'd welcome hearing from you with any comments and/or questions.

 Social Action Volunteers Needed!
TBC Social Action Committee. The TBC Social Action Committee has many local ways for you to help others, from pitching in at a soup kitchen to preparing dinner at an emergency shelter. New opportunities, dates, and times are posted to the TBC website, so please take a look and see where you can help.
Other Community Opportunities. There are also other ways to get involved in our communities. You can serve as a foster family, deliver food to those in need, and/or host a high school child in the ABC program. Click here to participate.
