TBC Wine Tasting & Dessert & Conversation
THIS SATURDAY, March 16, 7:30 - 10:00 pm
(NOT TO BE MISSED!)
| |
|
SipStirs (Wilton and Darien) will lead the tasting, showcasing a variety of "hidden gem" wines ($15 - $30/btl).
You will be able to buy cases of the wines being sampled. And since Passover is approaching, they will bring recommendations for Passover wines (and will donate 10% of any Passover wine sales to TBC).
Desserts will be provided by our congregational baking gems - perhaps you are one of those gems! If so, please let us know when you respond.
ALL INVITED! There is an $18 charge per person - payable at the door that evening. Cash or click here for the invitation!

Bakers still needed! Contact Allie Berger Rabinowitz (203-451-2872) or Susan Farber (203-912-2521) to bake your way to congregational fame and accolades!

If you are excited for a fun evening of good food and conversation with your TBC family, just mark your calendars.

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.
