Congregation Etz Chaim in East Cobb
is a warm and caring Synagogue, established
in the Fall of 1975 to meet the needs of the
expanding Jewish community of north
metropolitan Atlanta. Etz Chaim is a modern
Conservative synagogue committed to
blending tradition and change.
The synagogue, through its rabbi, professional
staff and lay leadership, offers a wide range of
services, educational programs, workshops,
seminars and programming for all ages.
Highlights include:
RESPECTED RABBI: Etz Chaim
is fortunate to have Rabbi
Shalom Lewis, who is a wellknown and respected leader
not only in East Cobb, but also
across metro Atlanta’s larger
Jewish community.
FIRST-RATE PRE & RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS:
Under the direction of Debbie Deutsch, Etz
Chaim provides a nurturing educational
environment for children and their families
that is Torah-based, and encourages the incorporation of Jewish ideals and practices
into everyday life.
TRADITIONAL &
CREATIVE SERVICES:
ADULT PROGRAMMING: In addition to traditional services and fraternal
organizations – Sisterhood, Men’s Club, Young Adults and Senior clubs – the
synagogue offers a host of different experiences, including B’nai Mitzvah
classes, Scholar-in-Residence weekends, regular Sedra and Lunch & Learn
classes and an extensive adult education program, Lilmode, which features
educators from as close as Emory and as far away as Israel.
Congregation Etz Chaim’s goal, as it was in
the beginning, is finding creative and innovative
ways to address the spiritual, educational and
social needs of our congregants. It’s a mission Etz
Chaim’s leadership takes seriously, and a belief
that can be found at the heart of all our
programming. It’s a goal that has proven
successful over the years because, simply put,
we’re a family interested in
Creating Meaningful Jewish Experiences.
Our intention, in all activities, is to provide an
environment of warmth and an opportunity
for personal growth. We celebrate together, we
pray together, and we learn together, making
Etz Chaim truly a home away from home!
