Stop Hunger Now - October 22
 
 
On Saturday, October 22, TBC will be participating as a congregation in the 6th annual Stop Hunger 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.
 
You may also send a check to TBC and note that it is for Stop Hunger Now.
 
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 children in developing countries.   This year each meal costs $0.29, so $1.45 buys 5 meals, $15 buys 52 meals and $100 buys 345 meals.
 
 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,

Hearing the Shema 

An Introduction to and Exploration of the Shema as the
Opening to 1,000 Prayers
 
This class will engage with the text of the Shema - just 6 words - with the intention of deepening, enriching, and expanding our connection with this central Jewish prayer.
 
No prior knowledge of Hebrew or level of experience with Jewish prayers is required.
 
Meet fellow congregants as we experience and explore the many faces of this powerful prayer which is the first prayer we teach to our youngest students and the most frequently repeated prayer in our TBC services.
