| Nu Haven Kapelye to perform at Topstone Park Thursday July 16 at 7:30pm |
This free concert is co-sponsored by Redding Park and Recreation and Temple B'nai Chaim. Attendees should bring lawn chairs as there is a limited number of chairs available at the park.
The Nu Haven Kapelye, is a Klezmer orchestra made up of musicians from many faiths and all walks of life: amateurs, professionals, young and old. The 20+ musicians and singers who comprise the Nu Haven Kapelye come together to play and explore the sounds of Klezmer, Eastern European Jewish dance music and Yiddish song. The group is Southern New England's largest Klezmer orchestra, but perhaps more importantly this group unveils the best of what happens when people of all ages come together to make music. |

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.
