Congregation Etz Chayim

A time for those who identify as women to come together to build community, get to know each other, and celebrate the Rosh Chodesh (new moon, new month) holiday.

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 women at Etz who'd like to gather (virtually) and chat on a weekday evening. This is a great opportunity to connect, check in with and support each other in a casual setting with no agenda. Contact Sara for more information.

The group will offer virtual sing-alongs, relying on lead singers who know the songs well and can break them down for learners. We’ll meet on most Wednesday evenings, 7:45 - 8:45 p.m. Those who have replied in advance will receive the Zoom link on the afternoon of the sing-along. Lyrics will be shown via Zoom. This activity is free.

It is uncomfortable living in such a polarized time with tensions rising even within families and among old friends. Jewish tradition is very rich in thinking about facing conflicts honestly without tearing the fabric of relationships. Based on his book, Torah of Reconciliation, Rabbi Shelly Lewis will guide us through the Torah portions of the Book of Exodus, searching for pathways to reconciliation.
