JCM is working to be paper free!

While the building wasn't in use, Ellyn went through the files to consolidate and digitize. Not only is it better for the environment, but our office and building are cleaner without the old papers and file cabinets. By not sending out paper notices, we are saving maoney on paper, envelopes, and postage and you have the benefit of easily seeing past newsletters and emails. We know it can be a learning curve for some to get used to finding all the info online... thank you for taking the time to help us streamline our business practices to be more efficient and eco-friendly.

Did you know that you can find past mailings HERE anytime...the newsletters automatically upload to the blog page "Maui Jews News" on our website. 

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!

I'm back!
My time in Arizona/Minnesota/Chicago was so wonderful...great to be connected with my family after such a long stretch. Baseball games in the rain, so much food and shopping, boating on the river, passing forest fires in Phoenix, watching my nephew win the world series in his age group, sending Charlie to his last year at Herzl Camp as a camper... 
I'm so gratefeul to be part of a community that encourages a positive work-life intergration, and I am ready to be back.
Call, email, or text...I'm back in full swing!

Class with Sam S. 
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? How can they apply in our lives, how they can inspire us, and what opportunities can they give us to feel a sense of connection?
We will look together at some of the sources and think about their meaning and relevance.
Sam plans to start with a general discussion of what mitzvot are and why they are important.

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

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