In October both our Rabbi Search Committee and our Board of Directors interviewed Rabbi Raanan via Zoom. The Board unanimously voted to bring Rabbi Raanan to Maui for an in-person visit so he and our community can get to know each other better and see if we have a shidduch.
Later this month Rabbi Raanan will be offering a series of Zoom classes for JCM. I encourage you attend part or all of this series to meet and learn with Rabbi Raanan.
We’re planning a full week of community events with Rabbi Raanan in January; once we’ve finalized the schedule, details will be in the newsletter. I look forward to seeing you all in person at one or all of these events!

We are looking for a condo/home rental...either month-to-month or six months. We have a rabbi candidate who will likely be coming for an in-person interview/ get to know us in January (More details coming soon). If he stays, he'll need a place to land when he first arrives. If he doesn't stay, we'll need a place to house visiting rabbis. Our offer of emplyoment either on a permanant, trial, or just once basis will be much more attractive with housing.
Please reach out to board@mauijews.org and let Sheri know you can help.
There are a few immediate wants at JCM, and I have a list on Amazon.
Roomba: Now that we have our beuatiful hard surface floor, we need some serious help keeping it clean. This one sweeps and mops!
Table covers: These stretchable covers are perfect for our Kihei winds and they look sleek and pretty. We'd love an assortment of colors as shown on our list.
It would be amazing if these items were gifted to JCM (early Chanukah gift?). Toda, Mahalo, and Thank You.

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

JCM IS THE BEST COMMUNITY EVER!!! I am so grateful for all the support as we make these tough decisions. Although we can't be together as we had anticipated and hoped, the emails/calls/texts of appreciation for making smart and safe choices just warms my heart. I just feel so proud to be part of JCM, an organization that puts community first and is willing to so easily pivot to Zoom as needed. We also just erected a large events tent over the blacktop from now through Chanukah (JCM has the most generous members).
