A Request from Ryan Sanderson!
Once upon a time, In 1973, a small patch of coral in Belize suddenly died. The only thing left was a deadly black band around the surface of the coral, exposing the dead skeleton inside. Since 2021, this same coral-killing disease has spread quickly, killing entire coral colonies in just months all over the Caribbean, into the Indo Pacific Ocean, and even to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It has already killed millions of coral colonies, and become known as the black band disease.
A small island in the South Caribbean, Bonaire, is a gorgeous paradise that I’ve been visiting twice a year to scuba dive since I was 11 years old. Devastated by the news of this disease, Reef Renewal Bonaire is an organization that was started in 2012 to save the beautiful coral on the island. They work with world class scientists and restoration practitioners to educate the Bonaire residents, visitors, and local communities. They do everything from creating strict rules for divers, to growing their own coral. This is so important to me because scuba diving is a big part of me and without coral, there is no underwater ecosystem. For my Mitzvah project I will be volunteering in person with Reef Renewal in December, on my next trip to Bonaire. You can make a difference too! Please help by donating to their amazing organization to support this vital work to save and restore the coral reefs in and around Bonaire. There will be a donation box in the main lobby at TBC beginning on October 2nd. SAVE THE CORAL!!!!

Thank you to everyone who contributed financially or with time to Wi-Act's Rise Against Hunger event on October 19th. The event was well attended and we collected plenty of food to donate to the Wilton Food Pantry. The rooms were filled with good music and a large group of people of all ages enjoying themselves doing something good for people they do not know. After a slow start, one truck got stopped at the weigh station, at the end of the day we packed 141,235 meals in 4 shifts. If you are interested in Wi-Act, the website is: https://www.wiact.org/
If anyone from TBC who was there took photos, please share with connections@templebnaichaim.org.

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.
