Prepare for the High Holy Days
Erev Rosh Hashanah is September 13! 

From the Rabbi ....   The High Holy Days will be here soon! 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. Read more ...

Complete information about the High Holy Days at TBC is now available on our website. Click here for information about schedules, types of services, parking, etc.

Please remember to return your membership packages!  We need to get them back so we can send out the High Holiday tickets.   If you haven't received your package yet or if you have any questions, please call  Kim O'Rielly  in the TBC Office at (203) 544-8695.  If you would like to purchase tickets for relatives or guests, please click here.  
Adult Ed Committee Volunteers Needed!

From Barbara Dobbin:  If you are interested in joining the Adult Education Committee, please send me an email at  adulted@templebnaichaim.org . A meeting will be scheduled in the next days to determine the adult ed program for the coming year. Committee members will assist with one or more events. Come help provide TBC members with life-long Jewish learning, and engaging and memorable educational experiences! 
TBC Diaper Collection Project!

The TBC Social Action Committee is seeking donations of diapers and wipes to benefit the Community Action Agency of Western Connecticut and the Domestic Violence Crisis Center, Stamford, and Person-to-Person, Norwalk.  For most parents, diapers for babies is a given.  If you are living in poverty, however, they are often a luxury.  

Drop off location: Temple B'nai Chaim
