Welcome
Led by Rabbi Liza Stern, we cultivate a warm atmosphere and meaningful engagement with Jewish traditions.
We are non-affiliated, and draw families and individuals from diverse backgrounds and a broad geographic swath of the Boston area.
We are nearly 100 families strong and take seriously our involvement in the community and the world while maintaining our wit and good humor. Our dynamic, fully inclusive, urban congregation is the fastest-growing in Cambridge.

Services at Congregation Eitz Chayim are traditional and egalitarian. Although we lean towards a relatively conservative style, we are open to change and always willing to challenge established practices. For our Shabbat services we use a non-denominational prayer book which is rich with contemporary English translations, traditional and contemporary Hebrew text as well as complete transliterations.
We also offer many opportunities for participation and are actively looking for members who would like to lead - or learn to lead - services. For more information, please contact us by phone at (617) 497-7626 or email info@eitz.org
