President - Greg Friedman
As a member since the early 2000's Congregation Etz Chaim has been our home since we moved to Merced. I am honored to step into the role of President for a 2nd time.
With a wide variety of activities, we welcome you to join our congregation family for celebration, fun activities and learning! Don't hesitate to reach out to me to learn more about our amazing and close knit community.

Treasurer - Rachel Hadley
I love our Congregation!
We have a wonderful Student Rabbi who leads us in insightful prayers and interesting Torah Study discussions; our Friday Night Shabbat Potlucks and Lay Led Services are meaningful and fulfilling; and our community is warm and welcoming!
