About the Etz Chaim Society

Etz Chaim—the Tree of Life—is a timeless symbol of growth, strength, and continuity. The Etz Chaim Society recognizes generous donors who nourish the roots and branches of our synagogue through meaningful contributions. Every contribution strengthens our community and creates meaningful Jewish experiences for generations to come—from vibrant youth programs and Shabbat dinners to educational events, holiday celebrations, and spiritual growth.

As a member of the Etz Chaim Society, your name will be honored on our beautiful new Donor Recognition Wall, located on the eastern wall windows of the main lobby for as long as you remain a member of our Etz Chaim Society as a tribute to your support.

All donor levels and benefits are in recognition of your annual giving.
