WHO WE ARE

We are a grass-roots organization geared toward Young Jewish Professionals; boys and girls in their 20s with Jewish background. We offer cutting edge, multifaceted programming that is both structured and fluid encompassing all aspects of Jewish living. Our goal is to create a space where YJPs can find themselves and their own connection to Judaism. 

OUR BELEIF

We believe that family should always come first and as such we are an “in-reach” organization. Our purpose is to reach within our own communities and create space for the formation of a family.

WHY

For Jewish collegiates or working professionals at this crucial juncture of life, finding a space to call home becomes an impossible feat. At Roots Eitz Chaim, we recognize that now is the time for Young Jewish Professionals to take ownership of their heritage and embark on an inspired journey to assume starring roles in the next chapter of the story of our people. We serve to meet this need as we continue to expand our reach and grow our Roots community.

HOW

Through a variety of programs and practicums, both social and spiritual in nature, participants are offered many opportunities in which to connect and form life-altering relationships with both mentors and peers.We achieve our goals by creating inspirational, informative programming that is relevant, sophisticated and engaging; by creating life changing experiences and adventure-filled journeys and by providing opportunities for our Young Jewish Professionals to forge life-long relationships with peers, our staff, and the larger Jewish community.

THE OUTCOME

Roots Eitz Chaim has fast become a space where Young Jewish Professionals can take ownership of their identity and find their home at the place where life meets meaning, proving time and time again that home is where the heart is.
