Building the Future at Eitz Chayim
Eitz Chayim is a wonderful community. We celebrate life’s best moments, mark the holidays throughout each year, mourn the passing of friends and family, learn together about Torah, and educate our children. To support and reflect the special place that we all know Eitz Chayim to be, we needed a physical space that does it justice.
In September of 2014, as we welcomed the Jewish New Year 5775, we embarked on a major project and announced the beginning of an ambitious fund raising campaign to expand and improve our sanctuary. We had just completed a community campaign to build an accessible ramp, and we were ready to move on.
To accomplish our goals of an accessible, inviting, and functionally-improved sanctuary/Community space, a capital campaign committee was formed and set a goal of $400,000. We began to dream what some thought was “the impossible dream.”
On December 13, 2015, we rededicated our new Sanctuary.
By the end of February, 2018, we had solar panels installed on one of our buildings.
Having finished the first stages of renovations, we now are looking forward to further interior decoration and a more beautiful kitchen.
