Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Other uses Шаблон:Infobox religious building Etz Chaim Synagogue (transliterated from Hebrew as "Tree of Life") is a unaffiliated Jewish congregation, synagogue, and Jewish history museum, located at 267 Congress Street in Portland, Maine, in the United States. The congregation is the only immigrant-era European-style synagogue remaining in Maine.[1] It was founded in 1917 as an English-language Orthodox Sefardi congregation, rather than in the Yiddish-language tradition; and the synagogue was completed in 1921.[2] In Шаблон:Circa, the dwindling Orthodox congregation became egalitarian and unaffiliated with any movement.

Gary S. Berenson is the congregation's rabbi.[3]

Located in the India Street Historic District, the building has also housed the Maine Jewish Museum since 2010.[4]
