A Thank You Note From Wilton Social Services
We received 2 donations from Temple B’nai Chaim from the Tzedakah Fund, one for $155 from the food and diaper collection and another for $800 from the Thanksgiving and Chanukah collection. Thank you so very much to everyone at Temple B’nai Chaim who gave so generously. Your donations will definitely make this holiday a happy one for a number of Wilton children and their families.
All of us at Wilton Social Services wish the Temple B’nai Chaim congregation a joyous holiday season and a New Year filled with many blessings.

Yahrzeits December 27 - January 2
Zeicher tzaddik livrachah!
זכר צדיק לברכה

December 27, 2024
Saul Heft, remembered by the Heft Family
Madonna A. West, mother of Valerie West-Rosenthal
December 29, 2024
Adrienne Merkel Berenbaum, mother of Diane Berenbaum
Arthur M. Gold, father of Amy Gold Socher, friend of Wendy Nadel
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.
