Small acts that
bring big results!
Our Synagogue takes pride in our involvement in social
welfare, educational, and environmental organizations in our
community. Below are some of the "Mitzvah Projects" we ask you
to help us support:
NEW COLLECTION - PLEASE SUPPORT OUR
COMMUNITY Toiletry
Colletion:
Please bring us any toiletries you might
have at home that were saved from from your hotel room during
a vacation. We will be donating them to a homeless
shelter later in the
year.

landfills! Help save the earth by bringing your used
batteries to the synagogue for collection and proper
recycling.

in our own area who have empty pantries and empty
stomachs!  We are ALWAYS collecting kosher,
non-perishable food items for the local Kosher food
pantry. Please leave your donations in the Lucite
box in the front lobby.
A
sincere THANK YOU
for your continuing support

HERJC Mission Statement
|
| Hewlett-East Rockaway Jewish
Centre/Congregation Etz Chaim (HERJC) is a warm, vibrant,
traditional-egalitarian Conservative congregation. Our
diverse, forward-thinking community is one in which learning,
prayer and social action flourish.
Since its founding in 1949, HERJC
has been recognized for creating a welcoming environment in
which each member-regardless of age, stage of life or
background-feels a connection to one another, to the Jewish
people, to the United States, to the land and state of Israel,
to Judaism and to God.
We are committed to continuing to
provide innovative, interesting, and thought-provoking
programs that:
- Foster lifelong learning from
pre-school through adulthood
- Celebrate our Jewish
heritage
- Deepen the sense of community
among our Congregational family
- Promote religious involvement of
all members, and enhance their spiritual experience
- Encourage intergenerational
cooperation
- Nurture the state of Israel and
our relationship with it
- Serve the needs of our members,
the local community, the United States and K'lal Yisrael,
the Jewish people throughout the worls.
The Pirkei Avot says the world
rests on Torah, Avoda, and G'milut Chasidim. So too does
our Congregation.
