The bylaws were not accepted by 2/3 of the members, so they did not pass. The bylaws will go back to committee to re-write. If your would like to be on the committee, please contact admin@mauijews.org.
Board Meetings are the third Monday of each month @ 4:30, they will be on the calendar. ___________________________________
Blow the shofar in the renewal [of the moon], at the appointed time for the day of our festival!
The high holidays are arriving soon, a time of inspiration and gathering for our community. In an effort to serve the community and respond to the needs of ensuring our safety at this time we are looking to have limited in-person services at the main synagogue, options for different venues, and online broadcasting of services for remote viewing. We also are looking to have family services and child-oriented services. We will be setting up a registration system with advance lists for each venue to ensure that we can follow the current guidelines by local government and the CDC.
All of these logistics require volunteers and input from the community to assist with planning and implementation, so we can make our High Holiday experience satisfying and memorable for every person in the community. See a bove for meeting details, please join us!
We also welcome any input or feedback you would like to share about past services or ideas you may have for services this year. We are looking for anyone who might wish to host or lead any alternative services as well. If you feel inspired to do so, please let us know and we will incorporate your contributions into the High Holiday program.
Wishing You Kol Tuv and All the Best, Sam Shnider and Ellyn Mortimer ______________________________
