The Jews of Crete

Etz Hayyim Synagogue re-opened it’s doors with the completion of it’s extensive renovation in 1999. Since then we have been challenged greatly in order to keep the memory of the last community alive, to make Etz Hayyim a presence in Hania and to keep alive an authentic Jewish and at times creative religious observance.

People and faith...
The lack of any financial security has been a constant concern, especially as we have no kehillah in the traditional sense of the word. What we do have, however, is a dedicated core of people who have not only felt drawn to what we are doing but who have indicated that they wish to be part of it. We now have a mailing list of over 200 people all over the world who receive the JOTTINGS four times a year as well as other announcements. If you want to be on our lists, please contact with us . Unfortunately we do not have the financial resources at the moment to print the Jottings. You can read it online for the time being.

We also have a solid and dependable core of people who live in Hania – some Jews and others non-Jews. This core group has now been ‘tested’ over the past two years in the sense that as individuals they have taken an active role in all of the ‘events’ of the Kal. As a group we have now banded together in a Havurah .
