We Are Back in the TOL Sanctuary
.
We are excited to welcome you back for Shabbat evening services in the sanctuary.
For everyone’s safety, the following policies will be in place:
– Mask wearing is encouraged for all vaccinated attendees
– Mask wearing is mandatory for unvaccinated attendees (including children age 3 – 11)
– Sit in designated areas and please be mindful that some congregants may want to remain socially distanced
Anyone experiencing possible symptoms of Covid (fever, coughing, etc.) may not enter the building.
We appreciate that not everyone is comfortable or able to return to in-person worship yet. Therefore we will continue to make our Shabbat services in the sanctuary available for people to enjoy from their homes via online live streaming.

Membership Renewal

For 125 years and through the pandemic, the Tree of Life has been there for you to embrace you and to laugh and cry with you. Because you are part of our family. Let us continue to honor life together. When you become a parent, when your children become bnai mitzvah, when you become a grandparent, when you journey through an illness, when you start a new job… for all of these moments, we can create a ceremony! And here’s the commitment of your congregation: We will embrace you in these key moments. At every age. At every opportunity. We are family and together we are TOL Strong!
Our congregation depends upon you, our members, and your annual pledges. Click here to download a commitment form or submit your pledge online. Please renew by July 1, 2021. Your prompt payment and donation will allow us to move confidently into the year ahead.
