Shabbat

Friday Evening

Shabbat services at Congregation Etz Chaim are a beautiful time for our community to come together and pray as one community. Our Shabbat services are as unique from one week to the next as our congregants. We have services that highlight various themes such as Social Action Shabbat, Leadership Shabbat, Camp Shabbat, etc. Our services are filled with beautiful music with a range of styles and composers performed groups such as our Choir, Congregational Band (Tree Life Ramblers), Junior Choir or individuals like our Song Leader, Music Director, or our musically talented Rabbis. You can read more about our music program on our music page.

We have a wonderful oneg (joyful food) treat after each service occasionally sponsored by one of our members. Onegs can be sponsored in honor of a loved-one or a special occasion.

We have several Shabbatot where a community meal is offered to help make our Shabbat and community experience more joyous. Some examples include our Winter Soup Shabbatot, Chinese Food Dinner, Chanukah Dinner, Mishpachat Shabbat, Bring your own dinner Shabbat, and smaller interest or social group dinners.

Babysitting may be available and geared towards children 0-7 when requested.
