Rabbi's Bio

Rabbi Stephen Listfield

Stephen Chaim Listfield was ordained as a rabbi in 1974 by the Jewish Theological Seminary. He was the class valedictorian. He is a graduate of Rutgers, phi beta kappa and magna cum laude.

Rabbi Listfield says that the greatest lesson he learned in his years of rabbinical leadership is that the more we love our fellow Jews, the more we love all of humanity. Love always starts at home but it spreads its wings infinitely.

Etz Chayim Latest Events

January 09, Friday Shabbat we had Dinner with Rabbi Listfield at Rozza Pizza & Rella Gyro Restaurant. We had over 23 members of Etz Chayim enjoying giant pizzas and great Greek food. The talk and laughter did not end until it was time to leave for services at Etz Chayim. Thank you Lydia for picking out such a delightful restaurant. "Funs and Friends Committee" is a great success!
