We are so fortunate on the Peninsula to have several vibrant Jewish congregations, each with its own practices and culture, and no territoriality. We cooperate with and support each other, including doing joint programs at various times during the year. This is not the case in many other communities and is a testament to the hard work of creating community among some of our foremost rabbis over the past 30 years or so.

(BTW, Congregation Etz Chayim is spelled with a "y".)
