A scholar takes precedence over a king of Israel, for if a scholar dies they cannot be replaced, but if a king dies, all Israel is eligible for kingship. This quote from Talmud reflects the value Jews place on education. Education raises us up more than anything else. We can lose our money.
Love comes and goes.
Even our homes have been taken away from us throughout our history. But one thing that can never be taken away from us is our education. Education is a tool that can help us rebuild our lives when necessary and become better people at any time in our lives. It is a source of joy, values and inspiration always. So, Congregation Etz Chaim offers opportunities to educate our members.
