The Tree of Life at Temple Beth Shalom is a beautiful stone mural on the wall of the sanctuary. You can order a tree of life leaf or stone to commemorate a special birthday, anniversary, b’nai mitzvah, or another important life event. A leaf or stone can symbolize thanks to someone, or the remembrance of someone departed.
Cost of a leaf – $360
Cost of a stone – $1200
