Blessing of the Animals
It’s time for TABI’s annual Blessing of the Animals. This is a brief, fun service we do each year coinciding with the Torah reading about Noah and the Ark. Bring your pets – large and small – we gather outside the front entrance of TABI in the parking lot. Sunday, November 3rd at 11:30 AM. More information here
TABI Thanksgiving Baskets
It’s that time of year again! Our Congregation raises money to purchase Thanksgiving Food Baskets for those spending the holidays in temporary housing. Last year we raised enough money to donate 103 baskets to the YWCA, Albion Fellows Bacon, House of Bread & Peace, Ruth’s House, Aurora, and Tri-State Food Bank. Typically, we recommend a $35 donation per basket, but as you know, the price of food has skyrocketed, so please consider donating what you can. All the money goes directly to our partner agencies who have come to count on our baskets.
To make a contribution, please go to the TABI website here or send a check payable to TABI to the office at PO Box 5265, Evansville, IN 47716
In these uncertain times, it’s good to remember that we can often find comfort by reaching out and helping others.
