RAC "Every Voice, Every Vote"

Postcarding Campaign

The Religious Action Center's "Every Voice, Every Vote" initiative returns this year with its postcarding campaign. TBC members have come together in past elections to contribute to this initiative.

From the RAC website: "Our Jewish tradition is clear: 'A ruler is not to be appointed unless the community is first consulted' (Babylonian Talmud Berachot 55a). We believe our democracy is strongest when every voice is heard, and every vote is counted. Join our nonpartisan campaign to ensure all have an equal say in decisions that impact their lives by sending out postcards to voters across the nation."

Yahrzeits August 23-29

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.

Shabbat Flower / Oneg Donation

A wonderful way of celebrating special family simchas, such as birthdays and anniversaries, is by sharing your nachas with the entire congregation and sponsoring the Oneg Shabbat for the Friday of your special week. More information here!

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