A Special Musical Shabbat, This Friday May 11, 7:30 pm
From Cantor Anesi: I am so delighted and honored to welcome my friend, and occasional partner in musical crime,
Barbara Orwick, to TBC for our Shabbat service on
May 11. She is a truly gifted accompanist, and musician extraordinaire, and we both look forward to bringing you some new, as well as familiar melodies (with perhaps a slightly different "flavor") to enhance our worship together.
Barbara
has been making music in Westchester and Fairfield Counties since graduating from Manhattanville College in the 1980's. As a piano accompanist, she has worked throughout the area for various schools, churches, community choirs, singers, instrumentalists and theater organizations. She
is currently in her 6th year as Music Coordinator at Temple Sinai in Stamford. She co-leads the Ruach ensemble, a group of singers and instrumentalists who accompany services one Friday a month. She also composes, arranges and plays piano for the group. She
accompanied the Jewish Family Congregation in South Salem, NY, for almost 25 years. As a result of a recent merger, she now plays for Congregation Shir Shalom in Ridgefield, for the High Holy Days and occasional b'nai mitzvot and other musical services.

Volunteers Still Needed for Young Cystic Fibrosis Patients -
Driving and Dinner Meals!
From Jane Alexander: Wi-ACT is in search of volunteers to do driving from Wilton to Stamford and/or to provide dinners for young Cystic Fibrosis patients from abroad. These patients, typically in their teens but as young as 5 years old, are treated pro bono for three weeks at Wi-ACT Steering Committee Member Dr. Hossein Sadeghi's pulmonology clinic in Stamford. The results of this treatment are truly lifegiving: if these children do not receive this treatment, they will likely die within several years (or even less). If you would like to volunteer, please email Wi-ACT Steering Committee Member Linda Rost at lrost0411@gmail.com. Thank you, Jane.
