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.

Community Discovery
The Board of Directors has been working on a community discovery for our membership. We sent out surveys, and now we are calling our members with some questions to help determine the path that JCM will take. 
As a member, this synagogue belongs to you...these surveys and calls are important (even hearing the bad stuff) so that we can make your community the best we can for as many people as we can.
We know we won't make everyone happy all the time... but we can make everyone happy if we know what you want.
If you have questions about this process, please contact michael@mauijews.org or marc@mauijews.org

A Year in Review

Talk about making the best of it!
While there were so many challenges this year, JCM and our community thrived. We prayed
We mourned
We sang
We laughed
We supported
We learned
We celebrated

We never stopped... we just got better. 

This year did not happen the way we planned, and we did not do everything perfectly. But we are here for you, and you have been here for us. 

JCM has a vital important place in our community. As the only egalitarian and inclusive Jewish community, we are necessary. As a mom with sons and daughters, I want them to have equal access to Judaism, and I want to be part of it all. We are the only community where that can happen. We don't need to be the only option, but we need to be an option.

A place where all Jews are welcomed to follow their own path to Judaism...that is JCM. Where we resepct each others' connection to Judaism, even if we don't agree or understand.

We are simply Jewish.

Jewish Together. 

As we end 2020...please consider an additional gift to JCM. Your membership and donations ensure that we are here today and that we will continue to be here for our children and future generations.

Night 2

OY!...We gave my 6 year her big Chanukah gift on the first night, last night. I had to call school today to let them know she won't be there because she wouldn't leaver her new American Girl Doll. My daugher and her doll are sitting with me at shul today...Lesson: Don't give the big gift on a school night. 

And Shabbat Shalom!

Join Shayna for a musical and meditative Kabbalat Shabbat
Friday, Dec. 11- Tonight!
6:00pm
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5284619173

Kabbalat Shabbat (the receiving of Shabbat) is the mystical prelude to Shabbat. We will begin with a Shabbat mikveh visualization culminating in the Ana Bakoach (a mystical piut designed to liberate us from the captivity of the state of consciousness we endure when it is not Shabbat). We will then sing Shayna's favorite Shabbat song, Yadid Nefesh (a love song to the divine presence) and lecha dodi to welcome the Shechina into our homes and hearts. We will conclude with Shalom Aleichem to welcome the angels. She will put the words up on the screen.

Having a socially distanced and masked party?
   

Or just want to party like it's 2019?

JCM has party supplies in stock!
We are open 10-2 today, Friday and again on Monday!

We also have gelt, menorahs, games and toys, decorations, selfie station props, dreidles, and other fun items to help your Chanukah celebration shine!

Thought you had candles and now realize you don't...let me know. I may be driving your way and can deliver!
​​​​​​​
Text 808-276-1526 for questions to schedule an appointment.

A Chanukah Challah?

       

Step up your Chanukah/Shabbat baking with this fun twist (see what I did there...twist-braid) on challah. So many fun ideas, I'm so glad we have 8 nights to play around with cooking and baking!

Speaking of latkes...

Latke cooking demo Sunday, December 13 @ 6:00pm PST. Lisa will be making traditional, apple, and dill pickle latkes...she is happy to welcome you "into" her kitchen. Click the link for her flyer!

Thanksgiving Is Basically a Jewish Holiday. Here’s Why.
By Rabbi Samantha Natov, Nov 21, 2018

I was raised in Canada, where most of the people I knew didn’t make a big deal of — or even celebrate — Thanksgiving (which, in Canada, falls on the second Monday in October). So when I moved to the States some 16 years ago, I was surprised to learn how Thanksgiving is so cherished by Americans. Yet, the first time I sat around a Thanksgiving table with friends and shared words of gratitude, I was struck by how familiar the holiday felt: To me, Thanksgiving seemed to be profoundly Jewish.

While we typically don’t think of Thanksgiving as a particularly Jewish day, it has the potential to be the most Jewish of all the secular holidays. With its focus on gathering as a community, giving thanks, and being mindful, Thanksgiving is infused with central Jewish values. We return to these themes again and again throughout Jewish practice, whether in prayer services, through the study of Torah, or as the basis for mitzvot. Thanksgiving invites us to stop in our tracks and embody these values — albeit in a different, more everyday context.

Bar & Bat Mitzvah Program
JCM has always been an egalitarian synagogue. Girls have always been welcomed to read from the Torah, any time...
Did you know we're the ONLY place on Maui where girls can be called to the Torah?

This is important.
Our girls are equal and included in all aspects of the lifecycle event...this is crucial for both our boys (who we are raising to be good citizens) and our girls. We are proud to include anyone who wants to celebrate this rite of passage. 

This is more than a "teaching" class...this program will help truly prepare our children for their personal journey into Jewish adulthood in our kehillah (community).

This class will be finalized in the next few weeks, and the details will be published.

Shabbat Shalom!

JCM is excited to try out some outdoor services and events at JCM. We know that there are varying ideas on what should  be allowed during these times. Decisions are being made following federal and local mandates, CDC recommendations, and . As we get into winter and more tourists will arrive and more illnesses are bound to spread, there are health protocols (not just COVID) that will help our community stay safe. We fully respect everyone's personal decisions in your own homes and lives, and at JCM, we are taking great care to not be the primary or secondary source of an outbreak or spread.

If you are comfortable, please come and enjoy an outdoor service... social distance, keep your mask on- even outside and seated, do not eat or drink unnecessarily when you are here. If our protocols are followed and resepcted, we will continue to hold outdooor events.
