Synagogue Announcements
Yom Tov at Torat Emet
Eruv Tavshilin
The Torah permits us to cook, bake, and prepare food on Yom Tov, in order to eat the prepared food on that day of Yom Tov. One is not permitted to prepare from one day of Yom Tov for the second day of Yom Tov or for after Yom Tov. But special dispensation was made for a day of Yom Tov that immediately precedes Shabbat through the vehicle of the Eruv Tavshilin.
To make an Eruv Tavshilin: On Erev Yom Tov, set aside a baked item such as bread and a cooked item such as meat, fish, or eggs. Each item should be at least the size of one egg. Then recite the blessing of "Baruch...Al Mitzvas Eruv" and the proclamation, both found in the Siddur. This proclamation states that the cooked and baked items should permit us to continue baking, cooking, lighting a flame from an existing fire and do all the necessary preparations from Yom Tov proper to Shabbat. Shabbat meal preparations may now continue on Friday Yom Tov, Erev Shabbat.
Women’s Torah Reading
We will once again have a Torah reading for women on
Simchat Torah morning.

Partnership2Gether
Join us for a wine pairing event to learn about our culinary mission to Israel!
The Jewish Federation of Columbus’s partnership with Kfar Saba and 614 Shabbat invite you to a night of wine pairings to learn about the upcoming culinary mission to Israel in June 2018 and the Federation’s partnership with the Israeli City of Kfar Saba.
If you are a foodie or simply enjoy the combination of nice people and food, come to taste wines and pair it with tasty food while hearing from Lori Ann Feibel and her daughter Addy, who will speak about their meaningful experiences with the partnership.
If you have any questions, please email Stephanie at sgrossman@tcjf.org .
This event will also serve as the kickoff event for 614 Shabbat, which is a designated weekend for the entire Columbus Jewish community to experience Shabbat together.
The Partnership2Gether program through the Jewish Agency for Israel creates long-term partnerships and builds a living bridge between 45 regions in Israel and 550 Jewish communities worldwide. The main goal of the Partnerships is to serve as a platform for the development and strengthening of unity among Jewish communities. The bridges created strengthen the ties to Israel and the close relationship between Israel and the Diaspora.
