Our Torah - Memorial Torah Scroll #529
|
|
|
TBC Memorial Scroll
The Ten Commandments
|
At TBC, we are privileged to have Memorial Torah Scroll #529 which was written in 1832. It is believed to be one of the Torahs from the town of České Budějovice, once the capital of Southern Bohemia, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire now in the Czech Republic. The thriving Jewish community there built an ornate synagogue in 1868. On April 18, 1942, over 900 Jews of this city were deported to death camps, and three months later the Nazis destroyed the synagogue. TBC has put together a
Pinterest board to make available information about this historic Jewish community and our Torah.
See the many pictures and stories.
In October 2015, a delegation of TBC members transported our Memorial Scroll to Temple Sinai of Sharon, Mass., where a number of Czech scrolls from around the region were reunited for a special ceremony and carried together in a unique procession.

Refugee Resettlement - Be Part of the Solution!
TBC participates as a member of WI-ACT, Wilton Interfaith Action Committee, including projects such as the Stop Hunger Now meal packaging event. About six years ago, WI-ACT resettled a refugee Iraqi family that is doing well and living in Stamford.
In response to the increased need, the WI-ACT Steering Committee has decided to resettle another refugee family through the nonprofit Integrated Refugee & Immigration Services (IRIS) headquartered in New Haven.
