Kosher Columbus Survey Happy Hanukkah! We hope you are enjoying the holiday with your family.
As you may or may not have heard, the Broad Street Kroger location is closing the majority of its kosher food services within several months. JewishColumbus, along with several partners throughout the city, will continue to monitor, problem solve and keep you updated as the situation develops.
In order to help understand the community's needs, we would love your input by participating in this survey. Your participation will help us determine the best next steps for our community. We recognize and appreciate our community's diversity, which is why your opinion matters regardless of whether or not you and your family keep kosher.
Only one person per household should fill in the survey, please!
Thank you!
JewishColumbus, Buckeye Kosher and Rabbinic Leadership
The data collected in this survey will be used by JewishColumbus and our community partners to enable informed decision making and to update JewishColumbus’ database

A Message from Matt's Bakery
Dear Valued Customer,
For the last 16 years, we have been privileged to provide quality kosher baked goods to the Columbus community.
Recent developments at Kroger have caused us to make the decision to move out of Kroger and go back out on our own.
We are excited about the opportunity to expand the bakery into a bakery cafe so that we may offer more food options to the community. We plan to add pizza, pasta, and more.
But, we need your help. We are launching a GoFundMe Campaign to raise money to help us make the move into a new space. Here is the link https://gofund.me/3c0bca0c
We love this community, and want to continue providing delicious kosher food for many years to come.
We hope to reach our goal, but will be so grateful for any support we receive as we look to continue serving the community.
Please share this message with anybody you think may be willing to help.
Thank you.
Matt & Mindy Cooper
