T.E.amwork
Torat Emet Friends -

While the stay at home directive has constrained our traditional socializing routines, the gift of technology has allowed us to remain joyfully connected.  Torat Emet has introduced a WhatsApp group specifically dedicated to keeping us together during this historic time.  Members of the Torat Emet family are posting the same kind of information that we enjoy sharing when we are physically together – general community updates, jokes, family news, inspirational messages….. 

I hope that you will join our WhatsApp group.  The family is not complete without you.

Talk to you in the App!!
 
Rabbi Zack

Buckeye Kosher

Buckeye Kosher Now Delivers
In an effort to help the community during this uncertain time, Buckeye Kosher is trialing a kosher-food shopping/delivery service to those who have an underlying need and are unable to get out during this time. Please email Kosher Department orders to  deliveries@buckeyekosher.org . We plan to shop before 5:30 pm on Mondays and Thursdays, with delivery shortly thereafter. Payments will need to be paid with a credit card via Square the day that the shopping is made prior to drop-off. Please note that we will not always be able to fulfill the entire order due to supply limitations.

Please e-mail us with any questions.
