Jews, Christians & Muslims
Attend the Wilton Clergy/Wi-ACT/WLA Interfaith Lecture on
March 15 at 7:00 pm to hear a
panel discussion by local clergy for this Interfaith Program on Common Scriptures for the Common Good: Jews, Christians & Muslims. The panel will explore what is similar in the sacred texts of our traditions with a view to the commonalities furthering interfaith dialogue in an age when that dialogue is desperately needed. Rev. Mary Grace Williams, St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, will moderate. The panel will be: Rabbi Rachel Bearman, Temple B'nai Chaim; Rev. Dr. Jason Coker, Wilton Baptist Church; and Dr. Kareem Adeeb, American Institute for Islamic and Arabic Studies. No charge but donations are always welcome.

Purim is Coming! Order Your Shalach Manot Now!
Purim is on
Friday March 25 at 7:30! The Shabbat service will be followed by a special reading of the Book of Esther, then a festive holiday oneg! In the book of Esther, two of the mitzvot that are associated with Purim are the sending of gifts of food and the giving of tzedakah. In verse 9:22 of the book of Esther it says: "
[Mordechai wrote to the Jews] to observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving presents of food to one another and gifts to the poor."
At TBC, we combine these two mitzvot into our Shalach Manot fundraiser, a fun way to support TBC by sending gifts to friends, as well as TBC clergy, staff, teachers and tutors. Please join us in celebrating Purim through this annual tradition!
To order your Shalach Manot, click HERE. In the form, you will have the opportunity to reciprocate, which means that we will send a bag on your behalf to anyone that sends to you.

Help Needed! Syrian Refugee Family Arriving in Wilton March 10

The family is scheduled to arrive at JFK on March 10th, and Wi-ACT plans to pick them up there and bring them to the transitional housing that the School Sisters of Notre Dame are so generously providing on their campus on Belden Hill Road. The family is Sunni Muslim and speaks Arabic. Wi-ACT will keep us posted on developments.
Arabic speakers needed! Does anyone at TBC speak Arabic? If so, or if you can help in other ways, please email Don Weber at: mdweb27@me.com
