TBC Religious School
Passover Food Drive
Our TBC Religious School is sponsoring a Passover Food Drive. As we read in our Haggadah, “Let all who are hungry come and eat!” Please bring your nonperishable food items to the synagogue and place them in the bin outside the front entrance. If you are ridding your home of Hametz for the Pesach Festival, why not bring any unopened items for donation? Donations will be accepted throughout the eight days of Passover.

Music, Art, and Poetry Reflective of the Holocaust
April 6, 2021, 7:30 pm
The terror of fleeing the Nazis or experiencing the unspeakable atrocities of the Holocaust produced many profoundly moving works of art. Using selected videos and texts from his courses on the subject presented at the Wilton Library and the Norwalk Community College, Judson Scruton will provide and discuss examples from well known to unknown musicians, artists and poets. Learning from these artistic creations is an important element in contemporary historical and moral education. Those who do not study history are, indeed, doomed to repeat it.
Judson Scruton, M.A., is a graduate of The Johns Hopkins University's Writing Seminars, specializing in poetry. He has taught creative writing and literature at prep schools and universities, most recently as an adjunct professor at Fairfield University. In his career as an educator, Judson has also directed publications, communications, public relations, and development at a variety of educational institutions in the U.S. and the U.K., including the Newberry Library in Chicago. He currently hosts a long running literary series at the Wilton Library, CT. Click here to register

The Beit Chaverim Synagogue is collaborating with the world's foremost Holocaust education institution, Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, to present this brand new program on the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, in observance of Yom Hashoah.
The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is the story of modern-day Maccabees, Youth Group leaders and members, who fought the Nazis against overwhelming odds, street by street, building by building, establishing that Jews can and will fight for their dignity, humanity, and very lives.
The class will be taught by Rabbi Moshe Cohn, Head of the Jewish World Section
at the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.

The Weekly Torah Portion
Yom Sh'vi-i shel Pesach
7th Day of Passover
Exodus 14:30–15:21
As the observance of Passover draws to an end, the Torah portion includes the dramatic recounting of the splitting of the sea in this poem known as “The Song at the Sea.” Written with great emotion, this poem attempts to convey the power of “God’s might hand.” So powerful is the imagery that verses of this poem have become part of the Jewish liturgy. The poem comes to a climatic finish with Miriam, the prophetess, picking up her timbrel and leading the women in dance. Click here to learn more.
