AITZ HAYIM

For twenty seven years, Aitz Hayim has been an innovative community making Jewish living inviting and accessible to all who are interested. We believe Jewish thinking is sophisticated, nuanced and useful in navigating our complex lives and unstable world. Scholars like Donniel Hartman, the leading Israeli philosopher, make us a focus group for developing ideas... We have developed services that are interactive, informal and open to challenging ideas. We aren't afraid to tackle frightening issues whether they involve Israel and American Jewish relationships or handling fears of "hate speech" in Highland Park... We are a supportive community that makes life cycle events personal, whether it be featuring the distinct personalities and needs of B'Nai Mitvahs or sharing stories at shivahs.
