Summer Membership Drive
A message from our President
Dear JCM Members and Community,
Thank you so much for being a member, past member, or part of the general community of Jewish Congregation of Maui. I am writing to ask that you please renew your membership, or join as a new member, today. Our Summer Membership Drive ends August 18th and tickets to High Holidays are included with your membership.
At this time of year, as we renew our memberships, or perhaps join for the first time, we remember that it is you – our members and your contributions, both financial and service, on-island and off-island – that keep our doors open and our programs running, and allow us to be a light to our Maui community.
We have had a highly successful year transitioning to a lay-led community organization, with wonderful Shabbat services, Passover Seder, ongoing site improvements, and the excellent work of our Executive Director Kalo Yujuico and our engaged team of board members and volunteers. In the year ahead, we hope to share more moments, observances, and celebrations with you. Please join us for a pop-up social for members and new members Sunday, July 28 5-6pm, directly following our July board meeting. Come join us and let’s talk story.
For any questions, please contact Kalo Yujuico at the number and contacts listed below.
Mahalo, Aloha, and Shalom,
Gabe Crane

Please join us for Shabbat Service with...
Rabbi Daniel Lev!
Please note the changes from last week's announcement.
This Friday 5:30pm, Come out to meet Rabbi Daniel Lev, storyteller and singer for a service inspired by Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach (zt”l) and Rabbi Zalman Schachter- Shalomi (zt”l). His Jewishness is “trans-denominational in nature and combines Conservative and Jewish Renewal orientations with a dash of unorthodox Chasidut and a big pinch of humor.”
Rabbi Lev will also lead a Torah study Saturday morning at 11am. Come out for an engaging conversation on Balam while enjoying bagels, lox and fresh coffee.
Saturday evening 5:30 Michael and Cynthia will host Rabbi Lev for a Havdalah service filled with songs, stories and prayers. An oneg will precede Havdalah. Bring your favorite salad!
Text 970-201-7406 for more info and address.
Doors open at 5:00pm
Services starts at 5:30pm
Kiddush to follow thereafter.
Also join us for next week's service with Rabbi Ken Aronowitz
Friday at 6:30pm.
*Correction from last week - Rabbi Daniel is from Oahu. Not the Big Island of Hawaii. Our apologies for any confusion.
If you are a Rabbi or lay leader visiting Maui and would like to lead a Shabbat service or be part of High Holidays while on island, it would be a mitzvah we would glady welcome.
For details, please contact Kalo Yujuico at

Additionally, our Israeli Dance Teacher, Paula Wolk, joined us. Your prayers for her recovery are much appreciated. Although she is back on her feet, she still needs more time to heal before she can return to teaching classes.
Mahalo to everyone who attended. If you weren't able to make it to our previous services, we would be delighted if you could join us for our upcoming services.

We are incredibly grateful to each and every person who took part in our Pesach celebration and played a role in making our seder dinner a resounding success. Your presence, enthusiasm, and contributions made the event truly memorable and meaningful.
From those who helped with the preparations, to those who shared their talents and performances, to those who attended and added to the joyous atmosphere, we extend our heartfelt thanks. Your participation made a significant difference and we are truly grateful for your support.
There is one exceptional individual to whom we would like to give special recognition. In the midst of acknowledging our team while preparing for the seder, we inadvertently overlooked a remarkable individual.
She's been referred to as the Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T) Our beautifully big-hearted JCM Board Member- Barbara Cooper.
Aside from Passover, Barbara has gone above and beyond to support our community throughout the year. Her unwavering dedication and selfless actions, from assisting with wildfire donations to being the first through the doors to help set up and decorate the shul for sevices and events , and staying afterwards to help clean-up. She even has taken care of tasks behind the scenes like mowing the lawn and washing dishes.
Additionally, Barbara selflessly moved her family seder to the second night so that our community could celebrate on the first night!
Barbara's innovative ideas during meetings and outreach for donations, has truly made a difference and her contributions have been invaluable to the success of our events and the growth of JCM.
Her cleverness, vibrant energy and strength are truly admirable, especially considering her commitment to raising a family and working a full-time job with a long daily commute. Despite her busy schedule, she still finds time to devote to JCM.
Barbara, Toda raba, Mahalo Nui Loa for your kokua, We are incredibly grateful for your unwavering support, compassionate nature and humbling manner, which is a reflection of the spirit JCM strives to be.
