Congregation Etz Chayim

For children in Kindergarten and 1st Grade (and sometimes their grown-ups!) Parents and children explore and experience Jewish holidays, history, values, culture, prayer and more through many different avenues including stories, games, art, music and cooking.

The Yiddish Choristers plan to sing again via Zoom. The group's virtual sing-alongs will rely on lead singers who know the songs well and can break them down for learners. Transliterated lyrics will be shown on the screen. Those replying in advance will receive the Zoom link on the morning of the sing-along.

Players at all levels are welcome. You will need to provide your current NMJL card. This is a free activity.

Join the new monthly virtual meditation group on the first Wednesday of the month at 2 pm. The first 45 min will include some teaching around a theme, a chant and a meditation. Afterwards we will have some time to share and connect. Come experience a variety of meditations and be part of a growing meditation community at Etz Chayim.

Hineini, "Here I am" is a phrase that appears multiple times in the Torah. What does it mean for each of us to respond, "Here I am, a Jew in the 21st century?" For grades 7-8.

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.
