Welcome. Shalom Aleichum. E Komo Mai.
The Jewish Congregation of Maui maintains a warm, friendly environment for all Jews, regardless of personal affiliation or observance preferences. As the only synagogue on this beautiful island, we are non-affiliated, post-denominational, pluralistic, and egalitarian. Our doors are open for any Jew who wants to have a place to come worship and connect with other Jews; everyone is welcome at Beit Shalom.
Beit Shalom has a kosher kitchen and is also a Shomer Shabbat facility. We welcome you and your family with a spirit of Aloha and we will do our best to ensure everyone is comfortable and feels at home. We value the diversity and spectrum of observations in our local community and those who come to visit.
We welcome visitors to our events, educational classes, and services including our Community Passover Seder, High Holy Days services, and Chanukah Party. We love destination lifecycle events and we will help you plan the perfect celebration.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Aloha!

Peace and Strength
Dear Community Members,
As we've witness from afar the terrible atrocities that have been committed in our beloved homeland of Israel, may the Jewish Communities here on Maui and throughout the nation stand in solidarity for the violence to stop and pray for the souls of innocent lives lost, strength and protection of those who survived and for peace.....
Holy One of blessing
We pray for the soldiers
who are called to defend the people of Israel.
Keep them safe. When they are weary
give them strength.
When they are scared give them courage.
May they find strength and faith in the days ahead.
Holy One of blessing,
We pray for the people of Israel
Who long to live under the canopy of peace.
Keep them safe. When they are threatened
protect them from harm.
When they are wounded and bereaved
grant them healing and comfort.
May they find strength and courage in the days ahead.
May our voices carry prayers of hope that the people of Israel know that they are not alone.
Give us strength and know that there is nothing more sacred than peace. Grant us Faith. Courage. Wisdom.
- Rabbi Karyn D. Kedar
