TBC Executive Committee Update
Over the last few weeks the TBC Executive Committee has been interviewing rabbinic candidates. We will keep you up-to-date on our progress.
We have also been setting up task forces. The Ritual Committee has agreed to serve as the High Holiday task force. We still need help on the re-opening and technology task forces. If you are interested in helping out, please
email Denise Securra and let her know which task force.

THE DUAL PANDEMICS OF RACISM AND COVID-19:
Learning how to advocate for change in our community,
Monday, July 13, 7:30 PM
Federation CEO David Weisberg hosts leaders of CONECT (Congregations Organized for a New Connecticut) Criminal Justice Reform Team, who will discuss concerns of racism in our criminal-justice system, police accountability, and the public-health crisis of COVID-19 in Connecticut's prisons and jails. Together, we will hear the stories of those who have been impacted by these dual pandemics of racism and COVID-19 and learn how to unite and act together for racial and economic justice.
Panelists include Phil Kent, Emily Lehrman (Congregation B'nai Israel, Bridgeport), and Juno Dina.

Our Daily Bread Food Pantry!
Thanks to a number of very generous congregants, we donated another $2000, for a total of $3000, to Our Daily Bread Food Pantry in Danbury. We THANK YOU and those in need THANK YOU!
The pantry has been serving between 150-160 families each time.
Funds are still desperately needed, so any additional donations would be greatly appreciated.
It's easy - donations can be made through the Social Action fund - or by going to
www.dailybreadfoodpantry.com.
In more typical times, the Social Action Committee volunteers about once a month.
Jane Alexander, your esteemed co-chair of social action, continues volunteering there through this very challenging time.
Food donations are also accepted:
Food Donation Hours are now Tuesday - Thursday 10:00 am - 1:00 pm.
(Call the Daily Bread office at 203-748-3561 i
f nobody is in the pantry to receive your donation.)
