About Tree of Life Congregation

About Tree of Life Congregation

Founded in 1922 and nestled in the vibrant, progressive university town of Morgantown, Tree of Life (Etz Haim) is a Reform congregation with a rich history and a heart for community. We are a “small but mighty” family of approximately 71 member units, ranging in age from their 20s to their 80s. Many of our members are professionals and academics associated with West Virginia University (WVU), creating an intellectually curious and socially conscious atmosphere.

Our mission is to be a Beit Tefillah (House of Prayer), Beit K’nesset (House of Assembly), and Beit Midrash (House of Study). From traditional Shabbat services to outdoor worship at Cooper’s Rock State Forest, we pride ourselves on an inclusive atmosphere that celebrates Jewish life in the heart of Appalachia.
