Yahrzeits January 17-23

Zeicher tzaddik livrachah!

זכר צדיק לברכה

January 18, 2025

Freda Leuin Ruben, mother of Richard Ruben


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.
