Upcoming Services and Celebrations

Shabbat This Week

Sing

Etz Chayim is a congregation who loves to sing. We do not have a cantor or choir. Congregants "lead from their seats" by fully participating in the prayers and songs throughout the service.

Here are recordings of some of the songs we sing during the Friday evening and Saturday morning Shabbat services and High Holy Day Services. Enjoy! And please join in!

Friday Evening
