Huntsville Conservative Synagogue (dba Etz Chayim Congregation) Welcoming Statement
Etz Chayim Congregation instills inclusive yet traditional values. We operate within the framework of Conservative Judaism, rooted in the Torah and Halacha (Jewish law). We interpret these traditions in a way that fosters growth and meaning for all congregants.
We welcome new and unaffiliated members of the community to join and participate fully by including families and individuals of all kinds, ensuring that every person is seen and feels valued.
At Etz Chayim Conservative Synagogue we offer prayer and learning opportunities for all, honoring Jewish diversity, and supporting interfaith families.
We know synagogue life may be new to some and offer help by explaining prayers, giving translated prayer books, or having greeters assist guests.
Our goal is to convey a warm, hospitable atmosphere where people feel comfortable and can connect with God and the community.
Please join us in services and programs, and we encourage you to introduce yourselves so we can get to know you better.
Rabbi Stephen Chaim Listfield was ordained in 1974 by the Jewish Theological Seminary, where he was the class valedictorian. He is a magna cum laude graduate of Rutgers University and a member of phi beta kappa.
Rabbi Listfield says that the greatest lesson he learned in his years of rabbinical leadership is that the more we love our fellow Jews, the more we love all of humanity. Love always starts at home, but it spreads its wings infinitely.
