A Sermon by Rabbi Raanan

Confronting Our Expectations
Parashat Shelach

After departing the spiritual center of Mount Sinai, the Israelites began their journey into the Negev. For all intents and purposes, the community has made it to the Promised Land, to the Land of milk and honey. And yet, this is not what happens. They almost arrive, but that almost is so far away. Just as Moses will see the land from a distance but not enter it, so, too, the Israelites will see their goal in the distance, and not be able to attain it.

It’s membership time! Please take a moment and reflect on the value of having a pluralistic, egalitarian, community-centered synagogue on our little, remote island. 

What does that even mean? 

• Support of the Jewish life of your choosing- without judgment
• We don’t talk about levels of observance
• No one is “more Jewish” than anyone else
• Girls, Boys, LBGTQ+ have equal access to the Torah and lifecycle events
• Welcoming to all with a flexible dues plan***
• Preserving meaningful traditions and open to creating new ones
• A voice in the direction your community is heading
• Children of paternal lineage are equally Jewish
• Contemporary and Traditional teachings 
• A progressive cemetery 

This kind of community is important, and it isn’t easy to sustain. Instead of 100 Jews, 200 opinions…it’s more like 100 Jews, 1000 opinions. I love the discussion and debate about our future, where we could go, how we should go… all of it. 
I love being part of the evolution of JCM. 

If you have even been to our synagogue or our community, or even just want to ensure the continuity and access to Jewish life, then you know how important our place on Maui is. If we see you once a week or only at Yom Kippur, talk to you once a month, or email you once a year, I am so grateful that you’re a part of my community. Your support allows Maui to have this unique Jewish community not bound by affiliations, but free for each of us to be Jewish on our own terms.  If you are not comfortable with a donation at the level of a voting member, you are still a member. It is not the amount you give, it is the intention to be part of our congregation.

My job for the past three years has been to hold the space for your Jewish life on Maui, whatever that looks like. We want to continue to be here for you.

We wish this was free, and our budget is $320,000 for the 2022-2023 year (you can see it broken down on the website). How long we stay here…is up to you. 

How much can you pledge to ensure this community is here for you, me, my 7 year old daughter, and everyone else who finds themselves in need or want of JCM.

Renew today!

Much Aloha,
Ellyn Mortimer
Executive Director at JCM

***Minimum donation is $600 for a single person or $960 for a family.
High Holiday Tickets are included with your voting membership. If you're not a voting member, we're charging $180 per person for the season.

A sermon by Rabbi Raanan...

Welcoming the Convert, Part Two
On Purim this year, I wrote a sermon called, “Welcoming the Convert,” where I explained that Amalek directly resulted from our forefathers and foremothers denying Timna the ability to convert. In her desperation she became the concubine of Esau’s son and Amalek was born. I concluded with a suggestion that the true way to counter Amalek and confront assimilation is to ensure that all who wish to convert have a path to do so. Forging a path to Judaism is a deeply individual process and it is a blessing to be here on Maui to assist those who choose to climb Mount Sinai together with our people...​​​​​​​Read More Here

An Invitation to a Grief Circle at JCM 

Wednesday, June 8 at 4:30pm

​​​​​​​Led by Mitch Berman and Rabbi Raanan...
for all who are grieving spouses, parents, children, friends, etc. 





JCM’s Response to the Tragedy in Uvalde, Texas
​​​​​​​
“Do not stand idly by the blood of your neighbor [and their children].”
Leviticus 19:16
 
It is with great sorrow that we respond to the tragic killing of nineteen schoolchildren and their teachers in Uvalde, Texas. We must be committed to the value that children are of greater value than indiscriminate rights to weapons. How have we built a society where driving a car is more difficult than purchasing a weapon?
 
Jewish values certainly mandate that we go beyond prayers for the lives lost. We must ensure that political action results in the prevention of this ever happening again, although sadly we fear that it will. America remembers all too well the killing of its children in Parkland, Sandy Hook and the hundreds of other locations where mass shootings have taken place.
 
We must organize and demand that United States politicians, currently obsessed with reelection campaigns, put aside partisanship in order to literally save lives. They must firmly and immediately enact meaningful gun reform legislation and mental health reform.
 
We offer our deepest condolences and support to all those impacted by this horrible attack and reiterate our vehement condemnation of gun violence. Limiting the availability of weapons is a moral imperative in our time. If we do not do this we are standing idly by the blood of our neighbor and their children.
 
JCM would like to offer a grief circle on Wednesday, June 8 at 4:30pm led by Rabbi Raanan Mallek and Mitch Berman. The community is invited to come together, grieve and provide comfort to one another during these times when we ask where justice is.

Don't Just Kvetch, Do Something!

Do you have a vision for the future of JCM?  Do you have a pet project you want to see implemented?  Is there something you don't like that you want to see change? 

I invite you to consider serving on the JCM Board of Directors.  Serving on the Board of Directors is the way to quit kvetching and do something to actually create the future you want!


We are seeking candidates to serve on the JCM Board of Directors, for the upcoming term starting July 1.  You must be a voting member of JCM and a Maui resident to serve on the board.

If you are interested please email  board@mauijews.org  for more information.
