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.
