Inside View of TBC's Contribution to the
Dorothy Day Food Pantry
Once day each month, TBC volunteers and friends spend an afternoon preparing, packaging and distributing food at the Dorothy Day Hospitality House's food pantry in Danbury. TBC volunteers, led by Peggy Zamore, co-coordinator of TBC's Social Action Program, prepare and hand out 80-120 hot meals and sandwiches to those in need. Everyone who comes to the door is welcomed as a guest.

Each day of the month the Dorothy Day effort is staffed by volunteers from different religious or charitable organizations; TBC's day is the first Wednesday of each month. If you would like to help with this effort, please contact Peggy at socialaction@templebnaichaim.org. More pictures at TBC's Shutterfly gallery.
TBC Film Club
August 10, 2022 @ 7:30 pm

We will be meeting again for the film club on August 10 and discussing the film "They Came to Stay" available on Kanopy 

In the early 20th century, drawn by the promise of America, more than two million eastern European Jews fled poverty and oppression - gravitating to the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Poor and faced with innumerable confusing choices, they struggled to adapt their Jewish traditions to their new lives.

Hope you can join us. If you have any questions regarding the film club, please contact Ria Miller at riahmiller@hotmail.com

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
