TREE OF LIFE YICC’s Tree of Life is located on the 2nd fl near our Youth Rooms. One way to commemorate a Simcha is to dedicate a leaf engraved with the date and Simcha on our Shul’s Tree of Life. Whether it be a Birth, Bar/Bat- Mitzvah, Wedding or Anniversary, our Shul’s Tree of Life is the perfect way to permanently celebrate your Simcha.
Many of our members have leaves on our Tree that were dedicated in their honor. It would be so nice to dedicate new leaves to honor new celebrations: marriages, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, babies…! Our latest leaf has been dedicated by Shelly Rothschild & Yosef Yekutiel In honor of their grandson, Ezra Bentzion Gindi, born in Jerusalem on May 26, 2019 to Samantha & Yacov Gindi shortly after they made Aliyah!
The cost of a Leaf is $180. For more information please contact the Shul Office at 310-273-6954 /[email protected]
