Safety & Security Corner

We are pleased by the robust group that has volunteered to join our Community Security Service (CSS) volunteer security team!  The in-person training session is scheduled for this Sunday (April 23, 2023) at 9 am at Torat Emet, and will last 3-4 hours.  This live training session is limited to those who have completed (or at least started) the on-line training program.  Please arrive on-time.  There will be light snacks and drinks available.

A number of additional individuals reached out as potential volunteers, but were unable to participate in the current training cycle due to conflicts in timing, travel, etc.  We anticipate that there will be another training opportunity at some point in the (relatively) near future, perhaps as a joint session with Beth Jacob (who also has a CSS volunteer security team).  Stay tuned for further information as it becomes available.

We look forward to integrating our CSS team with our other efforts to help optimize our security at Torat Emet.

Shabbat Shalom!

Thank you to to 
 
for partnering with us to provide our security

Post-Pesach Shopping Info from Buckeye Kosher

Chometz that was under Jewish ownership and not sold over Passover is deemed not kosher. As such, Buckeye Kosher does not recommend purchasing chometz products (including, but not limited to: Bread, Cereals (many), Beer, Couscous, Oatmeal, Pasta, Rolled Oats, Wheat Bran and Wheat Germ) from Giant Eagle for 2 weeks after Passover. Liquor should not be purchased from the Liquor Agency found within Giant Eagle until before Shavuos.

At this time, it is okay to purchase chometz at any other retailer in the Columbus area immediately after Passover.

Safety & Security Corner

Happy Passover everyone!  We hope that we can all take this time to reflect on the idea that we were taken out of Egypt as one people, and remain one people.  From a safety and security perspective, that means that we have to keep looking out for one-another!

This leads to an obvious pitch:  we can always use a few more participants for our volunteer CSS security team!  There is still time to register and complete the required on-line training before the in-person training (scheduled for April 23, 2023).  As a reminder, the on-line training does NOT need to be completed in a single session:  instead, you can do the program in easy-to-manage chunks at your own pace and of your own choosing, and the system will let you pick up where you left off.  Please contact Steve Lessnick with any questions, and see the link below for more information.

Chag Pesach kasher v’sameach and Shabbat Shalom!

Safety & Security Corner

One key aspect of our safety and security is “entry-point management.”  It is our responsibility, particularly when professional security personnel are not present, to ensure that unauthorized, uninvited, and/or inappropriate individuals don't enter the synagogue.  You can help by making sure you know who is at the door before you let them into the building.  For example, when using the electronic system during the week, it is easy to ask, “Torat Emet, how can I help you?” instead of simply buzzing them in.  If you can’t see who it is, you can always ask them to stand in front of the camera.  At times when we don’t use the electronic system, please make sure you positively identify the individual at the door before opening it.  If you have any question, don’t open the door and instead ask one of the Rabbis for assistance. 

We are getting closer to our in-person CSS security volunteer team training on April 23, 2023. Thank you to those who have already registered and started the on-line training.  There is still plenty of time for others to sign-up and complete the required on-line training before the in-person event.  Feel free to reach out to Steve Lessnick if you have any questions.  See the link below for more information.

Pesach 5783 at Torat Emet
Please note: The Guide to the Pesach Perplexed we sent out previously mistakenly said Lipton decaffeinated tea bags are acceptable for Pesach without certification. This is not the case, all decaffeinated tea requires Pesach certification. The updated guide is attached below.

Friends - as the pre-Pesach BBQ approaches, please plan ahead so that the evening will run as smoothly as possible.    As good a sport as Rabbi Neuman is, and as talented as he is in the kitchen, he, nor his team, is equipped to run the BBQ like a short order cook.  Please Please Please order and pay ahead.   Hope that's enough said to convince you - it's super challenging and not fun to be surprised the evening of.  Plus, you know you'll be able to get exactly what you want.  Thanks for helping!!  https://www.toratemet.org/form/msyppbbq2023

And speaking of the pre-Pesach BBQ - Rabbi Neuman could really use some help in the kitchen!!  Regular prep work - can be done on your schedule.  Please contact Rabbi Neuman.  Not hard to imagine how much work this is on top of everything else he is doing for our congregation to prepare for and to celebrate Pesach.  Please pitch in!!  Thanks!!!
