Tree of Life

There are many ways to recognize people who have an impact on our lives—parents,  children, friends. What better way than to honor them with a leaf on our new Tree of Life in the lobby facing the sanctuary? According to the Book of Proverbs, the Torah is a Tree of Life to those who hold fast to it, and those who support it are fulfilled. Its ways are ways of pleasantness and all its paths are peace. Each purchase creates a lasting tribute to someone special, helps our tree grow, and in the process, the story of our congregation is recorded leaf by leaf.

Commemorate and honor life cycle events, personal achievements, and communal milestones on our tree—lifecycle events such as births, graduations, b’nai mitzvah, weddings, and anniversaries) or any special achievement or occasion.
