Become a Member

At Etz Chayim, membership is about belonging, being a part of our community, a space where all Jews have a place, regardless of their age, marital status, sexual or gender identity, political leanings, or level of religious observance. 

Etz Chayim is a warm, open, diverse, and welcoming community. We are home to families, singles, interfaith and same-sex couples, retirees and pensioners, children, adolescents, and young adults. 

Both women and men are afforded the same opportunities in ritual participation and leadership positions. Our services promote active participation for all and we share a love of the high standard of music!

We offer relevant, meaningful, and interactive Shabbat and festival services, personalised life cycle events, compassionate pastoral care during times of difficulty, occasions to celebrate personal simchas, opportunities to volunteer for the local and wider community, Jewish learning opportunities for people of all ages and more. 

Our members are entitled to High Holiday tickets, rabbinic led services at life cycle events, discounted rates on various events and education programs. 

Most importantly, membership at Etz Chayim provides you with another place to call home – a place to socialise with other Jews, to feel proud about our Jewish identity and expression, to give back and to receive, to feel accepted and valued as we are.
