Congregation Toras Emes is the best kept secret in the tri-state area. Located in Twin Rivers, a planned unit development (pud) in East Windsor Township, we offer a small-town Jewish community where all of your religious, social, cultural and educational needs are met under one roof.
Founded 25 years ago as a kiruv-based congregation, the shul has evolved to accommodate the needs of a very diverse group of congregants, while being faithful to Orthodox customs and Jewish Law.
We have an eruv, mikvah, school, and kosher shopping and congregants of all ages and stages in life.
What we have is a unity of kinship, rarely found in other, larger Jewish communities. Here, "everybody knows your name". Each person's simchas are felt and celebrated, and each person's contributions and talents are appreciated.
Each family truly makes a difference.
