Elon Gold, Ridgefield Playhouse! Thursday, July 11, 8:00 pm

"Over the last few years, Elon has emerged as the preeminent comic talking about the Jewish experience. While there are many Jewish comedians, there are very few who speak as eloquently and comically about the Jewish experience." More information.

Annual TBC Blood Drive, Friday July 12, 1:00-6:00 pm

"In January 2024, the Red Cross declared a national emergency due to the shortage of blood. They're seeing the lowest number of people giving blood in the last 20 years. There's been a 40% decrease in the number of people donating."


July 12, 2024 - For more information and to register, click here!!

Plus - Gift of Life Registry!


 ALSO -- A Gift of Life Registry will open for David Schwartz, a long-time member of TBC, who helped as an EMT in NYC at Ground Zero on 9/11. He has been diagnosed with leukemia and will need a bone marrow transplant. 


If you are present at the the TBC blood drive, 1:00-6:00 pm -- whether or not you actually donate blood -- you will be able to have a blood swab taken to see if you are a potential donor and can be added to the Registry.

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.


A reminder that the Federation for Jewish Philanthropy of Upper Fairfield County schedules a variety of programs that TBC members will find interesting.
