TBC Film Club - They Came to Stay
August 11, 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

ABC LOOKING FOR HOST FAMILY CANDIDATES
A Better Chance of Wilton (www.abcwilton.org) brings academically talented minority students from inner city neighborhoods to Wilton so that they can attend Wilton High School and receive a better education than their regional high school would allow. As part of this program, A Better Chance is seeking candidates to become host families for a female scholar. In this role, the host family is paired with the scholar and welcomes the scholar into their home each Sunday (and once a month from Friday evening to Sunday evening) to enable the scholar to take a break from living in the program’s residential housing and to provide the scholar with the opportunity to become more integrated into the Wilton community. If you have any interest in learning more about this opportunity, please contact Mike McGroarty at (203)394-2401 or Mark Logan at (203)984-0484."

Be a Teen Madrich at TBC!
Cantor Harriet & Morah Ellie are looking for a few more teens to join the Madrichim Program next year. Madrichim work with our Religious School teachers in the classroom during Sunday Mornings from 9:30am-11:30am. The program includes 6 Training Workshops which will take place on the following Sundays (9/18, 10/16, 11/13, 12/11, 1/22 & 2/26) from 11:45am-1pm after Religious School in our newly established Teen Lounge with Morah Ellie. All hours spent working in the Madrichim Program count for any required or desired Community Service and all students will receive a formal letter at the end of the year!
Please contact Morah Ellie (please link my email address to my name) for more information or if you have any questions.

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.
