Send Rosh Hashanah Sweetness to Far-Flung Family & Friends
 The
TBC Sisterhood ORT Honey from the Heart website sale is open and ready to share a bit of new year cheer! This program is different from the traditional all-TBC honey sale for all that we do prior to Rosh Hashanah (about which details will be forthcoming in a couple weeks).
The Honey from the Heart program enables members to send honey to far-flung friends and family who are not TBC members in time for Rosh Hashanah. It is perfect for college and launch-age children, nieces and nephews, parents and other friends and families who live outside our community.
The jars are $12 each, of which TBC receives $6.
Orders placed before Aug 5 receive free shipping; after that there is an additional charge of $5/jar.
