TBC Pride Shabbat & Program
Sunday June 23
Mark your calendars for our TC Pride Shabbat and Program! This year there is much to be proud of -- and also much to be alarmed about, as attacks on the LGBTQ+ community spread in the U.S. and abroad.
And good news! For the first time this year Wilton has a visible LGBTQ+ presence in town with the formation of the new Wilton Pride organization.
At the June 23 service, TBC LGBTQ members will speak about what they're especially proud of and how TBC is, and can continue to be, supportive.

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.
