Temple Beth Abraham's Tree of Life is an artistic display on the wall of our first-floor entry vestibule. Each leaf and rock reminds our entire congregation of the joy we share together as a synagogue, family, and community.
Join us in creating a lasting legacy for our synagogue with our beautiful Tree of Life installation—a meaningful way to celebrate a birth, b’nai mitzvah, wedding, birthday, or other milestone, and support our congregation for generations to come. As it grows, the story of our congregation is recorded leaf by leaf.
Our Tree of Life is sponsored by Rabbi Art Gould in memory of his wife, Carol Robinson. Carol enjoyed genealogy and loved the hidden facts she would find in her research. She was always ready to teach others how to find the hidden nuggets of family names as they grew their own family trees.
Each leaf and stone of TBA’s Tree of Life offers a unique opportunity to commemorate special moments while contributing to the future of our community.
All leaves are 1-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ brass and hold up to four lines of text. The rocks are available in two sizes with brass plates on a golden oak wood base. Small rocks hold up to four lines of text, and large rocks hold up to five lines of text.
