• To provide a spiritual home for the exploration and expression of Judaism,
• To foster a warm and welcoming community for celebrating the joy and beauty of our Jewish heritage,
• To bring meaning to Jewish lives through religious observance, study of Torah, and performance of mitzvot.

The Vision of Temple Etz Chaim is:

• To be a vital and dynamic beacon of Judaism for all who seek it.

As Conservative Jews we embrace the following core values:

• To be learned in Jewish culture, tradition, and observance.
• To be connected through our synagogue for prayer, study, social action, and community.
• To perform mitzvot encompassing ethical behavior, spirituality, Judaic learning, and ritual observance.
• To be connected to the State of Israel and to the People of Israel worldwide.
• To grapple with fundamental Jewish ideas and contemporary issues through a Conservative/Masorti lens.
