Thank you to to for their financial assistance in reopening the synagogue for services, and partnering with us to provide our security for Shabbat and Holidays, and for Donate to their annual campaign here.
Congregation Torat Emet has partnered with the Columbus Jewish Film Festival to bring "American Birthright" to your virtual doorstep. This film is a provocative and inspiring documentary about one woman's journey to answer the question, "Why is my Judaism important to me?"
I highly recommend this film and if there is an interest in a follow up virtual conversation, we will arrange a time to discuss it.
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?
Have 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.
