Cantor Sobel's Special High Holy Days
Adult Class on Sunday, September 25, 10:30 am
This Sunday at 10:30 am, Cantor Sobel will offer a session on
High Holy Days in the Home - Toward a Richer and More Fulfilling High Holy Days.
The holidays that we celebrate at home with family are the ones that create the most lasting positive memories and ties with our heritage. Passover and Hanukkah immediately come to mind as Jewish top holidays for home-based ... and meal-based ritual, less so the High Holy Days season. In this session come experience, discuss and explore some of the unique, powerful and uplifting Jewish rituals accessible and available to all families to create lasting positive family experiences during the High Holy Days. We will also discuss practical paths to share the rituals as a family regardless of one's level of Jewish observance or knowledge.

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 mdweb27@me.com
