tree of life plaque

The tradition of dedicating a "leaf" for a Tree of Life sculpture, often found in synagogues and other Jewish institutions, is a way to commemorate significant life events. These events, also known as "simchas," can include: 


  • Births: Celebrating the arrival of a new child or grandchild
  • Bar/Bat Mitzvahs: Marking a child's coming of age
  • Weddings and anniversaries: Recognizing the joyous milestones of marriage
  • Other life events: Such as graduations, confirmations, or other special occasions


Donate your leaf!

These dedications are typically made by donating a leaf to the synagogue. The leaf is then inscribed with the name of the person or family being honored and the event being celebrated. 


This tradition serves several purposes:

  • Permanent remembrance: It provides a lasting way to remember and honor significant moments and individuals.
  • Community connection: It helps connect families to the synagogue and fosters a sense of community by showcasing shared experiences.
