In order to provide increased protection and resistance to tampering for meetings, ZOOM has updated their app. You can download the updated version here: https://zoom.us/download. After May 30th, if you have not yet downloaded the new version you will be forced to before you can join a meeting.
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.
Torat Emet is excited to be part of the Life & Legacy Initiative sponsored by the Howard Grinspoon Foundation and Jewish Columbus. The objective is building endowments to help ensure our Jewish future for generations to come.

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.
