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).

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

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.
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.
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!

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.

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! ~Ellyn
