The Board of Directors is proud to announce our new

JCM Identity Statement...

Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel and tell them: you shall be unique, for I, God, am unique! ( Vayikra 19:2 )

דַּבֵּר אֶל כָּל עֲדַת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם קְדשִֹׁים תִּהְיוּ כִּי קָדוֹשׁ אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלהֵֹיכֶם.

Jewish Congregation of Maui (JCM) Identity Statement

An Independent Egalitarian Pluralistic Community for Jewish Life

Jewish life comes in many forms. JCM is a beacon for that diversity. Since our founding, JCM has intentionally been unaffiliated with any particular Jewish denomination. We deeply respect and celebrate our shared values, culture, and history which unite us with a tribal sense of family, while simultaneously recognizing that our diversity is our strength. JCM affirms that every Jew is a vital part of an inclusive community. Everyone
is welcomed. This affords the opportunity for members to understand and develop familiarity with a variety of Jewish practices and beliefs, some of which may differ from their own. JCM holds that this is key to the continuation of Jewish life into the 21st century and beyond.

Beit Shalom: Our Home

We cherish our Beit Knesset/House of Gathering as the Center of our community and a sanctuary space where Jews and their friends can come to recharge, socialize, study and pray. It shelters a welcoming, vibrant environment where celebrations of all aspects of Jewish life and the study of Torah inspire those who enter to share in our common bond with the Jewish people, Jewish heritage, and Jewish traditions.

High Holidays 2020!



תִּקְע֣וּ בַחֹ֣דֶשׁ שׁוֹפָ֑ר בַּ֝כֵּ֗סֶה לְי֣וֹם חַגֵּֽנוּ׃

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 above 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
