As the only full-service Synagogue in Monroe Township, Congregation Etz Chaim Monroe Township Jewish Center is dedicated to being the focus of Jewish life in southern Middlesex County, New Jersey. We are an inclusive community offering all people a spiritual and supportive home. We adhere to the principles of Reform Judaism. Etz Chaim MTJC is a center for Jewish people who seek Torah, Worship, Culture, Social Interaction and Community Involvement with an emphasis on enduring Jewish values. To this end our:

  1. Worship services provide a wide range of egalitarian opportunities for participation in religious life. Through Torah and/or communal prayer we gain spiritual growth and a closer link to God and to our higher selves.
  2. Education is an overarching goal as we constantly strive to instill a love of Torah and a lifelong commitment to Jewish learning. We emphasize, at all ages, those Jewish values which enable everyone to make responsible religious and ethical choices based upon a knowledge and understanding of Jewish beliefs, ideologies, and history.
  3. Community Involvement is demonstrated through our dedication to "tikkun olam" - healing the world. We are involved in the general and Jewish communities in ways which fulfill the mitzvot of tzedakah - providing justice - for ourselves and our neighbors.

Through all of the above, Congregation Etz Chaim Monroe Township Jewish Center seeks to create a warm, friendly, and supportive atmosphere that promotes spiritual fulfillment and the well-being of all our congregants.
