Shabbat Kiddush with Rabbi Bearman & Cantor Sobel, September 9
#ComeSeeTBC
|
|
Shabbat Service to Celebrate Women's Voices!
From Rabbi Bearman: This past week, I was lucky enough to attend an event celebrating more than 40 years of women in the rabbinate. This program as well as the recent publication of
The Sacred Calling: Four Decades of Women in the Rabbinate inspired us to use this upcoming Shabbat to highlight and celebrate women's voices. Cantor Sobel will lead special, thematically appropriate music, and I will share the sermon for which I was awarded the
Rabbi Morris H. Youngerman Memorial Prize as a 5th year student at The Hebrew Union College. I hope that you'll join us Friday night!

Adult Ed Presentation and Brunch: Jonah, A Whale of a Tale
Saturday, October 8, 9:30 am - Brunch, 10:00 Discussion
Jonah, the major text for the afternoon service of Yom Kippur, is an ironic, satiric and profound fable of repentance and renewal.
In this presentation on the book of Jonah, TBC members Judson Scruton and Bruce Miller will explore the rich cultural and historical interpretations of the book, one of the Twelve Prophetic Books in the Hebrew Bible, in order to provide a deeper personal and collective engagement with the themes of the High Holidays. Join us on a fabulous ride into the belly of the beast and out into the world.

Save the Date for
Stop Hunger Now: October 22
Save the date!
On
Saturday, October 22
, TBC will be participating as a congregation in the 6
th annual Stop Hun
ger Now packaging event
in Wilton. Last year we packaged over 164,000 meals that were sent to Haiti.
TBC was well represented by about 90 volunteers.
Our goal is to package over 160,000 meals this year and raise $3500 as a Congregation that will fund 12,000 meals which will be sent to hungry chi
l
dren in developing countries. If you would like to support this event, you can send a check to TBC and note that it is for Stop Hunger Now, or contribute using our online donation form and select "Stop Hunger Now/Tzedakah Fund." You may also send a check to TBC and note that it is for Stop Hunger Now. This year each meal costs $0.29, so $1.45 buys 5 meals, $15 buys 52 meals and $100 buys 345 meals.
The sign-up will be later in September and further details will be provided soon. Don't forget that children 5 and older can help (our 5-year-olds last year had a fantastic time and really contributed!). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Don Weber at [email protected]
. If you would like to support this event,
