TBC Wish List
 The TBC Wish List includes items we need at TBC and for which we are trying to raise funds.
This month, we are focusing on the equipment we need to purchase to enable us to live stream and Zoom from the sanctuary for both Shabbat and the High Holidays. Going forward we will also be able to use the equipment for special events, as well as the Religious School.
To make a contribution to help us purchase this equipment, please click here.
Thank you for your support!

 Rosh Hashanah Picnic Kits
The Tastes of Rosh Hashanah Coming to Your Doorstep
Traditionally, Sisterhood has sponsored TBC's communal break-fast following Yom Kippur services. Because we are sadly unable to come together in person as a full community to break bread in person this year, we will break communal bread... virtually. After Rosh Hashanah services on Friday September 18, Sisterhood will deliver to each family/member of TBC a Rosh Hashanah picnic, comprised of local honey, apples, challah and wine, delivered with love (and mask) to your doorstep.
If you will not be home to receive your picnic, or would prefer to pick it up at the home of a Sisterhood board member, please contact Pam or Sharon to make arrangements. |

Time to send sweet RH tidings to our TBC families!
 Time to send Rosh Hashanah Honey for a Sweet New Year greetings to your TBC friends and loved ones. The ordering deadline is September 11. Don't miss out on the opportunity!
Traditionally, this annual fundraiser has funded our communal break-fast following Yom Kippur services. Like so much else, this year will be a little different: the fundraiser will enable Sisterhood to provide each TBC family/ member with a Rosh Hashanah picnic, including local honey, apples, challah and wine, delivered with love (and mask) to your doorstep.
As in prior years, TBC members have multiple sponsorship levels of giving opportunities. Each sponsor level sends one jar of local honey to every TBC member family, clergy and staff:
* Super Bee Hive - $1,000
* Chai Bee Hive - $540
* B'nai Bee Hive - $360
* Honey Bee Hive - $180
Alternatively you can send honey to particular congregants within TBC or choose to reciprocate to those who send honey to you. This is a nice way to send a sweet "thank you" to your child's religious school teacher / tutor. Sending individual bottles to individual member families, clergy and staff are $12.00 to the first family and subsequent jars are $8.00 each.

This Week's Torah Portion
Ki Tetze (Deuteronomy (21:10-25:19)
In this portion, Moses expands on the ethics of humanity. He teaches us about human decency during war and coping with difficult children. In addition, God commands us to care for the poor, the widow, and the orphan. The portion concludes with the declaration to remember the actions of the evil Amalek, making us a community who subscribes to "forgive but never forget." For more information click here.
