Men's Club Business Networking Group
Sunday, February 11 at 9:30 am (During Religious School)
 The primary goal of our first session was to break the ice, enable members to get to know each other and each other's businesses. Mike Bonheim succeeded. Come join us for session two.
Our
second session will be led by John Prins (
Sunday, February 11 at 9:30).
A family's values, passed down through the generations, afford family members the confidence to be able to say, "And that's what it means to be a Goldberg!" Or, a "Nicholson would never do that!" They make us who we are.
John's interactive presentation will demonstrate the how and why those values are so key to developing an organization's shared values. He will facilitate a discussion of a) what comes next, b) the return on the investment of time and energy, and (c) how a values-based planning experience paves the way to meaningful strategic planning and contributes to a rich, healthy and productive company culture.
The Men's Club business networking group is open to both men and women. Coffee and ... will be served
throughout
these sessions.

Purim is Coming - Order Your Shalach Manot!
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 2 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. Click Here to Order!
The order deadline is February 24. Thank you for your support!

Recipe Book Request from Our Israeli Emissary
Hi everyone, I'm Bar Dgani and I'm doing a gap year as a young emissary in Fairfield County.
I created a project to connect two amazing communities that became home for me. My scouts Tribe Bazak and my home here in Westport.
I want to share a recipe book because I believe food is one of things that symbolizes home!
I
would like you to send me recipes that remind you of HOME. It can be a simple Schnitzel or even a crazy chocolate dessert!
You can send it by text:
203 858- 8294 o
r by email (
BarDgani1@gmail.com).
In addition, I want you to write very briefly why this recipe symbolizes home for you. For example: Hi I'm Yuval. I'm a leader of 5 grades in Bazak Tribe. I chose this chocolate balls recipe because every Friday night my mom makes it for dessert and we eat them together.

Share Your Simcha - Sponsor a Preneg, Oneg or Flowers!
A wonderful way of celebrating special simchas, such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, the birth of a child or grandchild, is sharing your nachas with the entire congregation by sponsoring the Shabbat Oneg, Preneg or Flowers for the Friday of your special week. No special occasion? You can still sponsor a Shabbat! We will arrange for the flowers, food and set-up, you just make a minimum donation of $125 for an Oneg, $180 for a Preneg or $250 for the flowers. Sponsor a Shabbat
