There's Still Time to Sign-up and Donate for Stop Hunger Now!
 THIS SATURDAY, October 21, TBC will be participating
in the 7th annual Rise Against Hunger (formerly Stop Hunger Now) packaging event in Wilton. Last year we packaged over 167,000 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 $3,500 as a Congregation that will fund 12,000 meals which will be sent to hungry children in developing countries. If you would like to support this event, send a check to TBC and note that it is for Rise Against Hunger or contribute when you sign-up to volunteer. This year each meal costs $0.29!
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 12:00 pm, we will gather for a pot-luck lunch (no shellfish or pork please). After we eat, we'll have a panel discussion and conclude with prayers from the different traditions.

"Freedom Song" Musical at B'nai Israel - October 29
On
Sunday, October 29 at 4:00 pm
B'nai Israel is hosting a performance of Freedom Song. People of all ages are invited. Freedom Song is a transformative musical that will shatter the myth of Jews being immune to addiction. By interweaving a Passover Seder with personal stories of addiction, Freedom Song poses one stark question: What are you a slave to? "The cast of Freedom Song is not a cast of actors; they are actual addicts in recovery that have broken off the shackles of drugs, alcohol, gambling, and other destructive behaviors. They all found help at Beit T'shuvah in Los Angeles, a unique residential treatment center and community. The show was also written and produced by residents of Beit T'shuvah. B'nai Israel is located at 2710 Park Ave, Bridgeport, CT 06604.

We Are Excited to Announce Our New "Chai Mitzvah" Program
Our tradition tells us that an integrated Jewish life involves head, heart and hand - study, spirituality and social action.
Explore all of these on your terms, with your personal interests, through a new initiative called
Chai Mitzvah
.
You will participate in a learning group that meets every other month with a specially-designed curriculum that focuses on real life, relevant issues.
You will also choose an individual study topic that is personally interesting to you, adopt a new ritual or deepen an existing practice, and engage in a social action activity.
Then, at the end of this two-year program, you can celebrate your journey!
