The Tree of Life – עץ היים

The Tree of Life – עץ היים

A visible sign of the continuity of our faith…

“It is a tree of life to those who hold fast to it.”

~ Proverbs 3:16-18

What better symbol to mark life’s special occasions—birthdays, anniversaries, b’nei mitzvah, weddings—the “simchot” of a lifetime?

The Tree of Life featured on the South wall of the sanctuary was hand carved by Temple Sinai’s Harry Weinberg, z”l (late husband of Barbara Weinberg) and refashioned through a donation from Dave and Peggy Levine. The tree’s branches form the Hebrew words “Eitz Chaim,” “Tree of Life,” and the twelve stones which lie beneath represent the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

The brass leaves and permanent stones are available for engraving to commemorate joyous events or honor parents, family or friends. Leaves can be purchased for $75 and permanent stones for $500.

Use the form below to dedicate a leaf or stone. The inscriptions require 2-3 weeks for completion. You may use the form below to place your order and make payment.
