If you are new to EHNTJC, we certainly welcome you warmly and are glad that you have decided to be a part of this faith community for a worship service, a class, or any other special event. Coming into a new place like a Synagogue can feel awkward, but we really want you to feel welcome and comfortable at our synagogue. Listed below are some tips and insights that might help you feel at ease as a newcomer.

Directions to EHNTJC

US 94 to Dempster East exit. Go east past Skokie blvd. We are on the north side of the street. The building takes up a block with signs in front. Pull around to the parking lot and go up the back steps. Walk through the lobby, (restrooms will be on your right, offices on your left, classrooms and giftshop down the stairs) to the social hall. The Sanctuary, used on Shabbat is across the social hall and the daily chapel is on the left at the end of the hall. 

Come to any service and tell the ushers you are prospective members, or call the office or stop by and ask for a prospective member packet and CD.

Come have refreshments and connecting time after 8:00 PM services Friday or lunch with us after 9:30 M Shabbat morning services. You are invited to stick around and connect with people you may already know at EHNTJC or with people you might have met at EHNTJC. We want to get to know you!

We offer family and single adult rates, with a special subsidized rate for day school and Gan familes.

No one is turned away for inability to pay full dues. We'll work with you to make it possible. Contact Sonya, our executive director at 847-675-4141 for a membership package today.

We welcome all individuals and families who are seeking a special place – a vital center to nurture their Jewish life. Through competent leadership and innovative programming, we aim to attract and retain members in all age groups. We take pride in our long and continuing history of egalitarian participation in all aspects of ritual activity, and in our being a warm, caring, supportive community.  

REMEMBER THE 3 JEWISH L's:

2. Jewish Living: Live our lives santified through Holy deeds

3. Jewish Loving: Ahavta Raacha camocha and viahavta et Adonai Elocha..

Love your fellow creatures as yourself and Love God with all your heart, soul and might.
