PTBE’s Eitz Chaim, Tree of Life

 “Just as my ancestors planted for me, so do I plant for future generations” ~ Talmud,

Taanit 23a

The Tree of Life is prominently installed on the large outdoor breezeway wall—in between our main entrance and the Education Wing, as pictured, making these special tributes visible immediately upon entering our campus. Our community’s 750 existing leaves have been incorporated into the new design, interspersed with leaves being purchased now as new tributes. Plenty of leaves/boulders are available for tributes right now and for years to come.
