Time to 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.
Deadline for Orders: March 1! Click Here to Order!
At TBC, we combine these two 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.Each bag will be filled with festive food and other items to create a fun Purim celebration at home.
- Bags for TBC members are $11
- Bags for TBC clergy, staff, teachers and tutors are $9
- Bags for non-TBC members are $15 and must be delivered by you
If a TBC member has been chosen by more than one friend, they will receive one bag with a note listing all the donors.

Update on TBC Security Activities
From Cindy Baulsir, TBC President: Many of us have been following the news about threatening letters recently sent to Jewish Community Centers and congregations. I want you to know that TBC takes these issues very seriously and we are taking constructive steps to keep our environment both secure and welcoming. While we have always had a good working relationship with the Redding Police Department, over the past few weeks we have kept in close touch with them, as well as with agencies that provide intelligence about potential threats to Jews and to society. Don't be surprised if you notice that the Redding Police have increased their patrols and surveillance - it's what we want. We are also updating our existing procedures and processes. We all want to make sure TBC is a comfortable place where everyone can learn, pray and be part of our vibrant community.
