Religious life is at the heart of Etz Chaim. Founded on the principles of the Conservative movement, with an egalitarian vision, Creating Meaningful Jewish Experiences starts in the shul. We offer twice daily minyanim, Shabbat evening and morning services, as well as Junior Congregation for children in Kindergarten through Sixth grades. All Shabbat Services are in-person and also available via Livestream. Our daily minyan is in-person only. For our younger children, we have Team Shabbat and offer babysitting. For our younger families, our Preschool hosts a monthly Family Friday Night Shabbat Experience with a potluck dinner and Tot Shabbat. They also lead a monthly Tot Shabbat Service on Saturday morning.
A unique aspect of our Shabbat service is the davening is congregant-led. There is an opportunity to take part by leading a portion of the service, reading Torah, or having an aliyah.
