Time to send sweet RH tidings to our TBC families!
 Time to send Rosh Hashanah Honey for a Sweet New Year greetings to your TBC friends and loved ones. The ordering deadline is September 11. Don't miss out on the opportunity!
Traditionally, this annual fundraiser has funded our communal break-fast following Yom Kippur services. Like so much else, this year will be a little different: the fundraiser will enable Sisterhood to provide each TBC family/ member with a Rosh Hashanah picnic, including local honey, apples, challah and wine, delivered with love (and mask) to your doorstep.
As in prior years, TBC members have multiple sponsorship levels of 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 send 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. Sending individual bottles to individual member families, clergy and staff are $12.00 to the first family and subsequent jars are $8.00 each.

 Rosh Hashanah Picnic Kits
The Tastes of Rosh Hashanah Coming to Your Doorstep
Traditionally, Sisterhood has sponsored TBC's communal break-fast following Yom Kippur services. Because we are sadly unable to come together in person as a full community to break bread in person this year, we will break communal bread... virtually. before Rosh Hashanah services on Thursday September 17, Sisterhood will deliver to each family/member of TBC a Rosh Hashanah picnic, comprised of local honey, apples, challah and wine, delivered with love (and mask) to your doorstep.
If you will not be home to receive your picnic, or would prefer to pick it up at the home of a Sisterhood board member, please contact Pam or Sharon to make arrangements. |

Michael Heft Food Drive and Miriam Messe Diaper Drive
Due to our not being able to gather in person as a congregation for the High Holidays this year, we ask you to make a donation for the organizations we support through our collection. Donations can be made to the temple indicating the food drive. We will then divide the money among the various groups. If donations go through the temple we will be able to see how generous our congregation is during this difficult time. If you prefer, donations can be made directly to the organizations.
Thank you for your support! -- Jane Alexander and Peggy Zamore |

We also need contributions to purchase flowers for the sanctuary for the High Holy Days and to purchase books and supplies for the Religious School.

This Week's Torah Portion
In Nitzvaim Moses delivers his third farewell address. He prophesies that Israel will break the Covenant with God, and will be punished by destruction and exile. Following Israel's teshuvah (repentance/return to their holy state), God will forgive them. The portion closes with Moses telling the people that they have a choice between life and prosperity or death and adversity. In choosing to obey God's commandments, the people choose life and will be able to enjoy the land that God promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Click here to learn more.
