Safety & Security Corner
We are pleased by the robust group that has volunteered to join our Community Security Service (CSS) volunteer security team! The in-person training session is scheduled for this Sunday (April 23, 2023) at 9 am at Torat Emet, and will last 3-4 hours. This live training session is limited to those who have completed (or at least started) the on-line training program. Please arrive on-time. There will be light snacks and drinks available.
A number of additional individuals reached out as potential volunteers, but were unable to participate in the current training cycle due to conflicts in timing, travel, etc. We anticipate that there will be another training opportunity at some point in the (relatively) near future, perhaps as a joint session with Beth Jacob (who also has a CSS volunteer security team). Stay tuned for further information as it becomes available.
We look forward to integrating our CSS team with our other efforts to help optimize our security at Torat Emet.
Shabbat Shalom!
Thank you to to for partnering with us to provide our security for Shabbat and Holidays
Chometz that was under Jewish ownership and not sold over Passover is deemed not kosher. As such, Buckeye Kosher does not recommend purchasing chometz products (including, but not limited to: Bread, Cereals (many), Beer, Couscous, Oatmeal, Pasta, Rolled Oats, Wheat Bran and Wheat Germ) from Giant Eagle for 2 weeks after Passover. Liquor should not be purchased from the Liquor Agency found within Giant Eagle until before Shavuos.
At this time, it is okay to purchase chometz at any other retailer in the Columbus area immediately after Passover.
Join the New Chesed Committee! Dear Fellow Congregants,
It would be my privilege to partner with you, the Torah Emet Community, in designing and executing a most holy mission.
It is my hope to work together to build ongoing support for our members in times of sickness, stress and loss through acts of Chesed. As a start, I am asking for volunteers to help design effective strategies to connect our community members with opportunities for service. The range of needs are of course vast, encompassing Bikur Cholim, Meals, Regular Check-ins, Social Action and so much more.
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 Rabbi Neuman at rabbineuman@toratemet.org .
