Being so physically removed from the urban Jewish center has caused Temple Etz Chaim members to develop an extraordinarily strong commitment to our Judaism. We are excited about our synagogue, the Jewish community we have become, and the direction in which we are growing. As leaders and as congregants, we are dedicated to establishing programs and educational centers on our campus which are of the highest quality. We continue to expand and improve the synagogue programs which will assist each member, and each family, in the discovery of a Judaism that is truly significant and meaningful. We employ professionals who understand and support our commitment to a full Conservative Jewish lifestyle.
Congregants find it easy and fulfilling to add their talents in a myriad of ways.
We are successful because of the large number of people who choose to become involved. We are a Family in the truest sense of the word. We are committed to our teenagers through the United Synagogue Youth program. Any Shabbat will find a simcha on the Bema, while congregants celebrate a B'nai Mitzvah, a baby-naming, an ufruf, or other Life Cycle event. Etz Chaim, the Tree of Life, is alive - growing and flowering.
