Etz Chaim is a vibrant congregation known for the passion and decorum of its prayer, the breadth and creativity of its programming, its devotion to Israel, and its warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Save the date: Mark your calendars for our Annual Journal Dinner with Guest of Honor Chaim Reich and Service Honoree Miriam Peskowitz. Sunday February 24th.  Such worthy honorees will make the event truly memorable! 

Congregation Etz Chaim is, first and foremost, a makom tefillah, a shul where davening with fervor is complemented by an absolute insistence on proper decorum. Whatever the background, dress, or level of knowledge of worshippers, all feel welcome in a joint effort to create a heartfelt and harmonious tefillah. Yet we recognize that this attitude is a goal for which we must constantly strive, and whose achievements can never be taken for granted.

Next Lecture will be:  December 11.

Benefiting the community since 2011, "Navigating the Medical System" presents a monthly lecture on a general medical topic, usually on the second Tuesday of each month from September to June, calendar permitting.

Our next shiur will be on Dec. 19, with our own Prof. Deena Rabinovich.

For over a decade our Shiur HaChodesh for Women by Women has served to expand opportunities for advanced Judaic studies for women in Kew Gardens Hills and surrounding communities. It is a once monthly session of high-level text-based Torah study by some of the foremost women teachers and professors of Tanach, from both Israel and the United States.  Our sessions are held on Wed. evenings at 7:30 P.M. for approximately 1 hour. Light refreshments are served.

Etz Chaim is a congregation in which involvement of its members is always appreciated. With this in mind, we have a twice-monthly Torah publication with divrei Torah written by those who attend our shul, called 'Ma'amarai Etz Chaim,' 'Sayings of Etz Chaim.'  To read the latest one, click here.  To contribute to an upcoming addition, with no divrei Torah too small or large, please add your name and email to this document by the week in which you wish to submit.  All submissions should be received by Wednesday at 12 PM for that given week.  For questions, please email Gittela Harris:This email address is being protected from spambots.
