Welcome to Etz Hayim
Congregation Etz Hayim is a wonderful, sacred community, a Kehilah Kedoshah. We are a warm, inclusive Conservative congregation that reveres and embraces the rich heritage of our Jewish traditions and teachings. As a modern, egalitarian community living in America, we encourage diversity and freedom of expression, recognizing that each of us chooses our own path in Judaism.
At Congregation Etz Hayim, our hearts go out to the victims of the March 16 killings in Atlanta, and to their families, friends, and community. Sadly, the rise in attacks on Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders since the start of the pandemic is nationwide, and, according to a new report from Stop AAPI Hate, there have been 140 hate incidents against Asian Americans across Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. since last March. We stand in solidarity with those who are experiencing physical assaults, verbal harassment, and hate crimes, and the fear they create. Hatred, racism, misogyny, and discrimination are never acceptable, and we must all work actively to create communities where all members are welcomed, accepted, and valued.
