COVID-19 Protocols - Masks Required
TBC now requires anyone entering our building for any reason to wear a mask - regardless of vaccination status. Masks must cover the nose and mouth and remain on while in the building. The only exception to the mask requirement will be for fully vaccinated staff and clergy while in their offices and for clergy (not lay leaders) on the bimah.
We will continue to watch the infection rate closely and will keep you apprised of any changes. We thank you for your cooperation.

Return Your Prayer Books by October 3
If you borrowed copies of Mishkan Hanafesh (our High Holiday prayerbooks) for use at home during the High Holy Days, please remember that books must be returned by Oct 3. You can deposit the books into a box that will be provided for that purpose at the front entrance of the temple. For any books not returned by October 3, we will charge your account $50 to cover the cost of the book.

Torah Study
At Torah Study this past week, we were discussing where we wanted to go for this year. For the `of this year, and maybe more, we will be taking a break from Torah. We look forward to welcoming new participants who want to take a deeper dive into the texts and see what scholars have been debating for millennia. You don't have to have any knowledge of the books to participate and hopefully will take in new insights as to what has or hasn't changed since ancient times and how it relates to our lives today.
Here is the schedule for the the next few weeks:
Oct 2 - Daniel 1-6
Oct 9 - Daniel 7-12
Oct 16 - Ezra
Oct 23 - No Torah Study Rise Against Hunger (Wepco)
Oct 30 - Nehemiah
Nov 6, 13, 20 - Job

Wi-ACT's Rise Against Hunger Meal-Packaging Event Day
Saturday, October 23, 2021
We are excited that Wi-ACT is able to be holding its Meal-Packaging Event once again! Help the Wilton Interfaith Action Committee (WI-ACT) feed many malnourished children for an entire year wherever in the world the need is greatest. The packaging will be done at the WEPCO Church Complex at 36 New Canaan Road.
Please be aware that, for COVID safety precaution reasons, the Event this year needs to be about half the size of prior year's events in terms of the number of volunteers on each shift. Please don't let that discourage you from volunteering if there's space on the shift you select when you sign up, but also please don't be disappointed if your desire to serve can't be accommodated this year. If that should happen, we hope that you will volunteer again in future years when hopefully COVID safeguards will no longer be necessary.
To insure safety for everyone, please note these specific COVID protocols for the Event: All volunteers must be fully vaccinated and bring to the Event vaccination cards AND evidence of negative PCR test results within 72 hours before Oct. 23rd. Everyone will wear masks, the number of volunteers in each workspace (there will be three packaging floors this year, not just one) will be limited to 25 to 30, and the workspaces will be fully sanitized between shifts. Children under 12 unfortunately cannot volunteer this year; we will really miss them and are looking forward to their return to the work next year.
Be sure to get your PCR test done (available at Wilton CVS, among other pharmacy locations) by Wednesday Oct 20th so that you have the results back in time.

"How to Talk to Your Kids About Things That Worry Them
in a Complicated World"
Tuesday, October 26th, 8:00 pm
Join child psychologist Dr. Abigail Gewirtz, a leading expert on families under stress and author of When the World Feels Like a Scary Place, for a discussion about big issues that make both parents and children anxious -- from disturbingly routine active-shooter drills at school, to frightening news about climate change, pandemics, social-justice issues, and violence. It's too easy for parents to feel at a loss for how to equip their child to deal with it all in a healthy way.
