Temple Etz Chaim is a Reform Jewish community, which encourages a journey towards spiritual fulfillment through Jewish education of both adults and children, communal worship and social activities. We are committed to guaranteeing equal rights in all matters and to Tikkun Olam – the healing of the world – beginning at our home and reaching beyond to the global community.
Our members are primarily families with young children, reflecting the growth of the Metro West/ Route 495 area. However, we are proud to be a four-generation Temple, with members who are also great-grandparents. Our membership is truly diverse, with single members, mature couples, and those seeking a comfortable spiritual environment. Many of our members come from diverse backgrounds, and we feel it is essential to be particularly sensitive to the needs of dual-religion households — strengthening their Jewish roots and bonding them to the Jewish community.
