Sunday, Sept. 12

Join JCM for the first annual REVERSE TASHLICH - all are welcome!

In this new year, let's all commit to Tikkun Olam...
bring your family and friends for a fun morning of beach clean up and fun!

8:30am: Meet at JCM to get your sifting screens and collection materials Remember your hats and sunscreen. 

10:00am: Return screens and plastic to the JCM tent. We'll have cold drinks to  pour into your reusable bottles and homemade honey cake.  

Please join us for a reverse tashlich, along with 143 Jewish communities in 16 countries - organized by Tikkum Ha’yam (www.repairthesea.org).

Throw nothing in the water, take the crumbs of plastic out.

Sift sand to remove dangerous microplastics and pick up pieces of debris on Kalepolepo Beach Park, walking distance to/from the synagogue. We will have screens for sifting and containers for bringing the detritus back to JCM (This will be included in the data being collected by the Humpback Whale Sanctuary).


Questions and RSVP??? Call Marge Bonar 281-5701 
 

Rosh Hashanah 5782

Another High Holiday season of social distancing, exactly when we most yearn to join together as a community.  It’s hard making difficult decisions with imperfect information.  Yet even under the fog of COVID, we are planting new seeds and finding new ways to nurture Jewish life on Maui.

We are excited to launch Kulanu, our reimagined family Jewish education program.  “Kulanu” means “all of us”. Through song, dance, improv theater, crafts, and cooking families will have the opportunity to gather together in a COVID-safe shaded outdoor space and share Jewish life. We welcome Happy Lefton as Director.  Happy is assembling a fabulous team of presenters share their skills with our families each week.  Kulanu will launch with a family sukkah-building party on Sunday September 19.

We are thrilled that the first graduates of our innovative Bnei Mitzvah program, created by Sandra Razieli, will be celebrating Bat Mitzvahs this fall.  Mazaltov to Hannah and Makaela Cooper, and to Zoe Dorkin!

Many are wondering when we are getting a Rabbi. Given the limitations of COVID, we have paused our formal Rabbi search.  We have been speaking with Rabbi Hanniel Levenson, who hopes to be spending some time with us this winter teaching and getting to know the community.   Once COVID cases calm down, Rabbi Daniel Lev of Oahu plans to do a monthly Shabbaton with us.

Now comes the fundraising pitch. Even during a time when meeting in person is limited, JCM still has bills to pay.  And we all need to do our part to make sure JCM is still here post-COVID.

I urge you to give whatever you can to ensure a viable inclusive Jewish presence on Maui. Go to mauijews.org/donations. And, during September you can do a mitzvah for JCM by visiting any Foodland and tell the cashier at checkout that you want to Give Aloha.  The code for JCM is 77216.  A percentage of every contribution up to $249 will be matched by Foodland!

Ktiva v’chatima tova!  May you be inscribed and sealed for a good New Year.

Kol tuv (all the best),
Sheri Levin McNerthney
President, Jewish Congregation of Maui

Is this on your calendar yet?

Kulanu means All of Us!

We are thrilled to announce our new youth program -  KULANU!

Happy Lefton (past Board Director and retired school principal) is leading this program to engage our children in fun and joyfoul Jewish activites to create friendships and just have fun being Jewish.

See more information  HERE. 

The first session will be Sunday, August 22 at 10:30am with Rabbi Daniel Lev.

Registration will begin on Wednesday.

I’m honored and excited to share that JCM was selected to participate in
Nitzavim Hawaiʻi,
a new initiative designed to turn leadership into collective action, delivering positive change within the local Jewish community and Hawaiʻi at large.

MASKS, SOCIAL DISTANCING, and EVENTS...oh my!

JCM leadership is working daily to make the best decisions to keep our community safe. Decisions we may make in our personal lives aren't always appropriate for a business that serves a wide demogrpahic, like ours. 

We follow CDC recommendations and local mandates...currently, we require masks worn inside at all events and not at outside events - no matter your vaccination status. We request if you are unvaccinated you wear a mask all all events.

As we look towards an event with Rabbi Daniel Lev and the High Holidays, we are looking at a combination of outdoor and streaming services for both. It is hot and windy in Kihei during the day, even under an expensive tent with road and construction noise, so there is no clear "best idea." 

As soon as final decisions are made, we will let you know...

What we know:
Sam, Shayna, Sandra, and Cantor Neumann are planning a full and robust holiday for all of us!

Coming up!

During September, make a donation to JCM at any Foodland or Sack N Save checkout, and Foodland and the Western Union Foundation will make a donation to our organization too!
JCM's code is: 77216
How to Donate:
1) Shop at Foodland or Sack N Save!
2) Show your Maika'i card to the cashier at checkout.
3) Tell the cashier our code and the amount of your donation (up to $249).

Don't worry... I'll remind you again :)

Tisha B'Av
Tisha B'Av (the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av) begins sunset Saturday July 17 and continues to the evening of Sunday July 18.  Tisha B’Av is a day of communal mourning, commemorating the destruction of both the first and second temples in Jerusalem (586 B.C.E, and 70 C.E respectively).
