Sisterhood

Sisterhood is the right arm of the Synagogue. We furnished the kitchen and keep it running smoothly.  We make sure that Friday night Oneg Shabbats and Shabbat luncheons are served and are Kosher.

We have monthly luncheons, business meetings, educational programs, and fundraisers.  Our major fundraiser is a community New Year's greeting booklet and member directory.  The sisterhood also greets new Synagogue members and strives to make them feel welcome.

Many of us don't have family here locally, so we in the sisterhood try to create a family atmosphere for all our congregants. 

Men's Club

Etz Chayim has an active Men’s club. The Men’s Club sponsors many activities that benefit the synagogue and particularly the children.  

They meet periodically at the Synagogue for Men's club card parties. Each year the Men’s club plans and operates a Hanukah Party, a Purim Party, and the Synagogue Annual Picnic.

Youth Group

Our children meet with the Rabbi for Sunday breakfast / brunch on rabbi weekends.   Religious themes of interest are discussed and social activities follow.

Our older children (grade 8-12) are in a joint Youth Group with the Temple children. Biweekly lunch meetings and activities are held on Sunday afternoons.

USY Kadima /Young Judea ( cosponsored with Hadassah) is available for the grade school children. Recreational, educational and joint activities with youth groups from other nearby synagogues are also pursued.
