Sustain TBC with Sweet Honey
Send Rosh Hashanah tidings to TBC friends and staff!
As Rosh Hashanah approaches, it is time to send honey and sweet new year greetings to your TBC friends and loved ones. The ordering deadline is September 10. Don't miss out on the opportunity!
As in prior years, TBC members have multiple sponsorship levels for 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 give 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. You may send individual jars to members, clergy or staff. The first jar of honey to member families, clergy and staff is $12.00 to the first family and each subsequent jar is $8.
Click here to order online. Questions? Email honey@templebnaichaim.org.

Please Share Your Simcha! TBC congregants are invited to share news of their family events and celebrations in Chailites. Please send your information to chailites@templebnaichaim.org. | |

TBC is Here For You!
If you or a family member is ill or in need of care - or if you know of someone in our community who needs help - please contact Cantor Harriet. Our Caring Committee is here to provide assistance - meals, rides to doctors' appointments or shopping.

It is traditional to light a memorial candle at home on the eve of the yahrzeit. You may also find it meaningful while kindling the yahrzeit candle to offer prayers of remembrance or reflect on your loved one’s life. Many also choose this time to make monetary donations in memory of loved ones.
Yahrzeit Memorial Plaques
When remembering loved ones who have passed away, we invite you to commemorate their lives and blessings with a memorial plaque for the TBC wall of remembrance. Ordering information is available here.
