Congregation Etz Chayim

We will create a safe and supportive circle in which to share about our experiences of this time, and consider possibilities for cultivating spiritual understanding and spiritual practice. The texts and tools of Jewish spiritual life can help us to meet this crisis with as much wisdom, balance and compassion as possible. Presented by Rabbi Amy Eilberg.

This is an ongoing, drop-in class that is open to everyone looking for a deeper, rational understanding of Torah. No Hebrew skills or Torah study experience are required. For more information or to join this now virtual class email office@etzchayim.org

Ever considered hosting a seder and not done it because you thought: It's Too Hard! It's Too Much! It's Too Involved! This virtual workshop is for you. (Also for anyone who has hosted and is looking for tips for your 2020 Seder). You do know enough! Your house is big enough! And, you can do this! Join Rabbi Chaim and Abra as we explore and share ideas on how to create a successful potluck seder, or a child-friendly seder, or a more-than-four-questions seder, or a musical(s) seder and more. Come with your questions, your ideas, your songs, your recipes and your creativity. Together, we'll build an ETZtraordinary Seder resource bank of ways to do your seder, your way. Sign up on the website.
