Welcome to Etz Chaim Club

Welcome to the Etz Chaim Club, a vibrant Jewish community exclusively for Stanford students, where friendship, lasting memories, and Jewish pride come together. We are here to help you connect, find a sense of family, and feel at home on campus. From weekly kosher lunches and personal mentorships to spiritual retreats and meaningful trips like our Poland Journey, our events are designed to foster connections, personal growth, and a deep sense of belonging.

Whether you're enjoying a sunset BBQ, engaging in thought-provoking dinner debates, or diving into Jewish wisdom through our podcast fellowship, every experience strengthens the bonds within our community. Be part of something special, where every student contributes to the warmth and uniqueness of our gatherings, creating friendships and memories that last a lifetime.

Etz Chaim—meaning "Tree of Life" in Hebrew—symbolizes the roots of our shared heritage and the branches of growth we cultivate as a community. Our name reflects the strength, wisdom, and unity that defines us. Come grow with us, and find your home away from home.

Join the Fun!
