Pay it Forward Program Dearest Torat Emet community,
In these strange and confusing times many of us may feel disconnected from each other and from our community. The members of the Torat Emet staff and board have been working to find ways in which we can reconnect with one another and share a little brightness with each other. With that in mind, we would like to introduce the Pay It Forward program! The idea of the program is to do something nice for another family who will in turn do something nice for another family. Our hope is that over time we can uplift and send love to all of the Torat Emet family
Here are some guidelines:
You are encouraged to send your present to a family that isn’t in your immediate friendship circle
Gifts should be about $30-$40 in value. If this in any way burdensome, please contact Rabbi Neuman. We do not want cost to be prohibitive to participation
Please let Rebecca Mayerhoff know which family you pick. If you’d like some ideas on who to send a package to, please feel free to check in with Rebecca or Rabbi Neuman (include emails here)
Please try to send your gift within two weeks of receiving yours
What you include is up to you! Some snacks, a game, or a book- get creative!
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. We hope that we will soon be together again.
Would you like to get real time Torat Emet notifications, hear about volunteer opportunities, and share cheerful tidings and thoughts with fellow Torat Emet members here and in Israel?
Do not let COVID-19 restrictions keep you from having meaningful and uplifting social and informational conversations (no politics allowed) with your Torat Emet friends. We look forward to hearing from you.
If you need assistance in signing onto the WhatsApp Group please contact the Torat Emet office.
We pray for those who are sick, for everyone’s safety, and for a swift end to this plague.
