A HUGE Todah Rabbah goes to Marlee Book & Jessica Diskin Evans for all the amazing work they did to coordinate Chanukah & New Year's Day Pajama Party that was held on Wednesday, January 1. We had 87 attendees, with sponsorship from Sharkey's Cuts for Kids, food from Uncle Leo's, games from Wild Child and delightful music by the Goldbas family. It was the perfect way to start the new year off with community spirit!
Thank you to everyone who contributed to TBC's Year-End appeal. We raised over $15,000 in December! TBC continues to need your financial support, so please consider kicking off 2025 with a contribution.

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.
