Welcome We at Congregation Etz Ahaim take pride in being one of the warmest, friendliest and most welcoming congregations in the community. Our doors are always wide open to members of the local Raritan Valley community, as well as to people living outside our area. Respecting the beautiful customs and traditions of our faith, Congregation Etz Ahaim is an orthodox Sephardic synagogue. Morning and evening services are held daily. Child care and a children's program are offered on Shabbat and Yom Tov. All of our Shabbat services are followed by a bountiful sit-down kiddush, providing members with an opportunity to socialize, greet new worshipers, and informally meet our rabbi, Rabbi David Bassous. Whether you are thinking of moving into the Highland Park/Edison area, or you live locally and are interested in finding out more about Congregation Etz Ahaim, we would love to assist you. Our kehilla is a very friendly place and we have a diverse membership, from old to young, and a variety of observance levels. One thing we all have in common is a desire to help newcomers feel welcome.

RASHI: A LIGHT AFTER THE DARK AGES
Welcome to attend a viewing of this one-hour animated historical drama, set in 11th century France. It is about Rashi, a Medieval Rabbi and scholar who lived just before the Crusades reign of terror. Besides being history's most published biblical commentator, Rashi is a gentle man of exemplary character whose decisions of law and personal counsel have enormous impact on the people around him, the generations that follow him, and the Jewish world.
Light refreshments will be served.
Monday, July 6 at 8pm
