Welcome to the Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur verson of the "Emes". In this issue, you will find all the information you need to know about the holidays at Torat Emet.
We want to wish all of you a very happy, healthy, and meaningful new year. We are excited to share that Chazzan Dovid Weinberg will be leading services on the first day of Rosh Hashana and on Yom Kippur in the Main Sanctuary. Dr. David Eckmann will be leading the Musaf service on the second day of Rosh Hashana. Services will begin at 8:30am on Rosh Hashana and 9:00am on Yom Kippur.
We will be adding an early outdoor service led by members at 7:30am on both Rosh Hashana and 8:00am on Yom Kippur. This service will take place inside of the Torat Emet Sukkah with proper ventilation and covering in case of rain.
There will also be an outdoor family service for one hour at Noon on the first day of Rosh Hashana and at 12:30pm on Yom Kippur. The Family Service will be led by Rabbi Ari Neuman and the Torat Emet Shabbat Youth Leaders and will also take place in the Torat Emet Sukkah.
We are requiring that you sign up in advance to attend services. (You may sign up for the family service in addition to one of the other service options). You must be vaccinated to attend services. Mask wearing is especially important in containing the Covid-19 virus and its variants; therefore, we will require all those attending indoor services to wear a mask. Children under 12 may attend indoor services if masked. We likewise recommend mask wearing for everyone at outside services and programs.
There will be children’s groups held outdoors (weather permitting) and in the large youth lounge downstairs. Details will be forthcoming.
Tashlich: Thank you to Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein who have invited anyone who would like to do Tashlich on the first day of Rosh Hashana to do so at the creek behind their home. The gate to their property will be open from 2:00pm-7:00pm and Tashlich booklets will be available by the creek. There will not be any food or program.

High Holiday Parking
In order for our children to play and for us to hold services safely outdoors over the High Holidays, the synagogue parking lot will be closed. Please make alternate arrangements for parking over the holidays.
Make sure you read street signs carefully in order to avoid your car being ticketed or towed.
PLEASE NOTE: THE BEXLEY LIBRARY PARKING LOT IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR OUR USE DURING REGULAR LIBRARY HOURS.
Safety & Security
For the safety of all of us, security officers will be posted at the synagogue during the holiday services. If you require assistance or suspect something suspicious, please communicate it to them or to an usher.
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING!!!
Our officers are here to do an important job. Conversations with both children and adults are distracting and prevent them from carrying out their important function.
Make sure that your children are either with you in services or in a secure location where we have proper supervision and programming.
Do not allow your children to play in front of the shul on Main Street!
Security is made possible by the JewishColumbus Annual Campaign
Tashlich at Jay & Jeanie's
Welcome back Cantor Dovid Weinberg
Congregation Torat Emet is excited to announce that Chazan Dovid Weinberg will be leading the congregation in for Rosh Hashanah services on the first day and Yom Kippur services. Chazan Weinberg certainly lives up to his reputation for the ability to combine popular melodies and traditional chazanut. Born in Jerusalem, Chazan Weinberg studied nusach with his father, Rabbi Noftoli Weinberg, and with the world-renown chazan Moshe Stern.
He is the permanent chazan at Congregation Ohel Yitzhak in Jerusalem and a guest chazzan at the Great Synagogue in Yerushalim, the Yeshurun Synagogue and other congregations throughout Israel. Chazan Weinberg is often called to synagogues and programs in Europe and in other cities in the U.S. Prior to his work at Torat Emet, he led the High Holiday Services at Congregation Shaarei Tfilah in L.A. He lives in Jerusalem with his wife Bracha and their children. When not busy with Chazanut he works in advertising.
