During a significant week for his congregation, Etz Chaim Rabbi Daniel Dorsch visited with a Christian men’s group at the adjacent Grace Resurrection Methodist Church on Indian Hills Parkway.
On Wednedsay Etz Chaim was holding a joint event with the Catholic Church of St. Ann to commemorate Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day.
On Sunday, another Holocaust observance will take place at Etz Chaim, followed by a 50th anniversary celebration as Cobb County’s first synagogue. Dorsch and Etz Chaim were recognized last week by the Cobb Board of Commissioners for that milestone.
On Tuesday, he “delivered a powerful and enlightening presentation on the Jewish faith—covering its rich tradition,” Grace said in a summary of the event [including the photos in this post], and “a visit next door to Etz Chaim Synagogue, where Rabbi Dorsch personally led a tour, pointing out the significance of various symbols and artwork throughout the space.
“We closed the night with thoughtful conversation and a renewed sense of connection. The Grace Men’s Group extends heartfelt thanks to Rabbi Dorsch and the Etz Chaim congregation for their generous hospitality. The evening reminded us of the beauty that unfolds when faiths listen to one another, neighbors become friends, and hearts open not just to learn—but to grow.”
