Community Center celebrates 40 years of fostering community
Congregation Eitz Chaim and the Monroe Woodbury Jewish Community Center is 40 years old and ready to celebrate!
We are 40 years away from the little house on Spring Street that was our first home. We have retained the central thinking that has been with us from the beginning of our history, fostering a genuinely warm Jewish community.
We continue to be moved by a desire to include, to instruct, and to inspire, and to reach out in support of the rights and dignity of all women, men and children.
This is the basis of our egalitarian conservatism.
In 2007, our beautiful new synagogue on Orange Turnpike was completed. This new award-winning facility now houses a glorious sanctuary, a Hebrew School complete with a Pre-School and post-BNai Mitzvah High School. We have created a space that will be comfortable as a place to worship, celebrate simchas, and share social and community events.
In honor of our 40th Anniversary, we are celebrating with an annual journal dinner/dance on Sunday evening, June 10. We will mark the occasion with the publication of our annual journal book, which is read by hundreds of our congregants, community members and local business owners.
Anyone wishing to advertise in the journal is asked to contact the journal committee at 845-783-7424 or e-mail the journal committee directly at journal@eitzchaim-monroe.org.
Deadline to purchase your ad is May 145. If you would like to attend our journal dinner dance, please call our synagogue office at 845-783-7424.
