Shalom! Welcome!
At Etz Chaim, we pride ourselves on being a growing, thriving center of Reform Judaism where both young and old are welcomed and cherished. As members, we define our synagogue’s character through involvement in worship, programming and committees.
Congregation Etz Chaim of DuPage County serves more than 550 families in the western suburbs of Chicago. Our synagogue is conveniently located near I-88 and I-355 between Roosevelt and Butterfield Roads, at 1710 South Highland Avenue in Lombard, Illinois.
Our website is designed to help you learn about our congregation. You can explore our site for information on religious services, our rabbis, religious school, activities, upcoming events, and the many other facets of our Jewish community that make up our congregation. |

From the Administrator: Membership & Religious School Information 2009-2010
The office recently mailed the 2009-2010 forms you will need for making your annual financial membership commitment and registering for religious school.
If you have a child who has not attended our religious school in the past, please let us know so we can provide forms for that child (even if you currently have other children who attend).
All 2009-2010 forms will be mailed to families who have met all of this year's financial obligations. If you did not receive a packet, please call the office.
