Mitzvot (Divine Commandments)
What are the mitzvot? Where do they appear in the Torah? What is their interpretation? What is their purpose? How have they been a basis for a Jewish life throughout the generations?

Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) commemorates the revelation of the Torah on Mt. Sinai to the Jewish people, and occurs on the 50th day after the 49 days of counting the Omer. Shavuot is one of the three biblically based pilgrimage holidays known as the shalosh regalim. It is associated with the grain harvest in the Torah.

We hope your Shavuot is filled with delicious food, new knowledge, and deep meaning. Chag Sameach!

I'm kvelling to wish a huge MAZAL TOV to
Rabbi Shayna!



On Thursday, May 6, surrounded (on zoom) with friends and colleagues from around the globe, Shayna earned her smicha. Shayna has been a cornerstone of our Jewish community for many years, and we wish her continued success and joy in this new role of Rabbi.

On a personal note, Rabbi Shayna has been a source of education and a commpassionate ear when I have needed one these past few years. She has an easy way of explaining difficult text and Jewish law and I appreciate every brainstorm session and that she still picks up the phone when she sees it's me on the other end- I often want something, and I need it yesterday.  Toda Raba for your guidance, leadership, and freindship.   ~Ellyn

To contact Rabbi Shayna, please reach her at jewishspirituality@gmail.com

If you received a ballot for the bylaws vote...please vote today! If you have any problems, please email admin@mauijews.org.

Want to say a prayer of gratitue and appreciation for getting your COVID vaccine? 

Here are just two examples...for other prayers, please go to ritualwell.org or opensiddur.org. There are many prayers and intentions you can find on these sites that you can say while receiving or waiting for your vaccine.


From the Rabbinical Assembly:

בהודיה והוקרה לאל הרופא לשבורי לב ומחבש לעצמותם התודה וההוקרה שהשראת לרופאים ולמדענים את החכמה בינה ודעת להכין חיסון זה לפננו יהי רצון מלפניך שבחיסוני זה אזכה לשמור ולרפא נפשות כל חי ולזכות במצוות המציל נפש אחת ברוך הרופא כל חולים

With gratitude and thanksgiving to The Healer of broken hearts and restorer of broken bones, appreciation and thanks for inspiring the medical teams and scientists granting them the wisdom, knowledge and expertise to prepare this vaccine for all of us. May it be your will that with my vaccination I will be granted the ability to heal and keep safe humankind and be granted the privilege to fulfill the mitzvah of one who saves a life. Blessed are you Healer of all who are sick. 
_____

This blessing begins with words from the prayer Asher Yatzar, a morning blessing thanking God for the miracle of our bodies. This version notes that just as the pandemic is worldwide, so too are God’s human partners in creating, distributing, and administering these vaccines.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה‘ אֱלֹקֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הַעוֹלָם
רוֹפֵא כָל בָּשָׂר וּמַפְלִיא לַעֲשׂוֹת בִּידֵי כָל יוֹשׂבֵי תֵבֵל 
Barukh Atah Adonai Eloheinu, Melekh ha-olam,
rofei hol basar umafli laasot bidei hol yoshvei tevel.
 
Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the Universe,
who heals all flesh, working wondrously through human hands.
