Dear Members and Friends,

On December 17, the fifth day of Chanukah, Susie and Stu Appelbaum, Rabbi Ben Berger, Rabbi Michael Emerson, Dr. Joel Fisher, Michelle Lessnick, Skip and Hava Parks, Chanan Siegel, and Rick Zwelling will be travelling with me to Houston Texas to represent Torat Emet and the Columbus Jewish community on a four day Hurricane Harvey relief mission.   Most of these volunteers are taking time off from work and paying for their own airfare.  I am appealing to the congregation to help defray the additional costs for ground transportation and sleeping accommodations in Houston, which will total approximately $1600, or $145 per person.  With a small contribution you can play a meaningful and direct role in supporting your peers and helping affected families to get back on their feet.

Olam Chesed Yibaneh,

Rabbi Howard Zack

Please click here and select "Hurricane Harvey Relief Mission" from the drop-down list to support this mission.

Assaf Weiss, the founder of Maagalim which provides counselers and support for at risk Israeli teens, is interviewed in English on Israeli television.   You can see him at:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgOL3hI7Mjs&feature=youtu.be  

Torat Emet has been supporting Maagalim for the past four years.  Assaf has visited our shul on several occassions together with outstanding graduates of their program.  Our YY50 mission to Israel also visited their school in Jerusalem and met with counselors, participants and graduates
