To provide a nurturing environment for gay and lesbian Jews, inclusive of bisexual, transgender and heterosexual in South Florida; ‘Jews of the Rainbow’. We are dedicated to the spiritual, social, educational and emotional support that empowers and enhances the quality of members’ lives and the community as a whole.

We are a unique congregation in South Florida committed to building a spiritual home for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Jewish community.

At Congregation Etz Chaim you will find a love for the Jewish people, rituals and traditions we have come to know, a passion for Tzedakah and Tikkun Olam (charity and repairing the world) and a devotion to prayer and study.

We are a community, a place to celebrate life together, as well as to share other events in our lives, along with other Jews.

We invite you to become a member of our family. We welcome your enthusiasm and your commitment. Together we can create a true home for 'Jews of the Rainbow' in South Florida.
