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.
Nikki Schreiber, the founder of Humans of Judaism, will be in conversation with two young professionals from our community to discuss her social media platform which she created to share positive and uplifting Jewish stories. With more than 700,000 followers @humansofjudaism is a hugely popular handle, sharing personal stories, Jewish history, Holocaust education, support for Israel, and so much more. Especially against the backdrop of rising antisemitism online, Humans of Judaism is a true source of pride and strength in these challenging times.
