Tuesday, October 20 7:00pm Class with Sam S. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5284619173 Mystical insights on the Torah from a Hassidic perspective, by the renowned rebbe, storyteller and kabbalist of Uman, Rabbi Nachman of Bretzlav. If you have ever wondered about Hassidic thought, or heard about the ecstatic intense spiritual worlds of the Baal Shem Tov and the Maggids, come participate in a discussion and reading of selections from the grandson of the founder of the Hassidic movement.
Bar & Bat Mitzvah Program JCM has always been an egalitarian synagogue. Girls have always been welcomed to read from the Torah, any time... Did you know we're the ONLY place on Maui where girls can be called to the Torah?
This is important. Our girls are equal and included in all aspects of the lifecycle event...this is crucial for both our boys (who we are raising to be good citizens) and our girls. We are proud to include any boy/girl/nonbinary person who wants to enjoy this rite of passage.Â
Our new program, run by Sandra Razieli, will likely begin in November.
This is more than a "teaching" class...this program will help truly prepare our children for their personal journey into Jewish adulthood in our kehillah (community).
Please let me know at admin@mauijews.org if your child will be having a Bar/Bat Mitzvah in the next year or so...we will reach out with the details as soon as they are final. Â ____________________ Talmud Torah...Update! Talmud Torah will resume when we can safely be inside at JCM. Teaching the youngsters over Zoom defeats the purpose of creating community among our children and with our families. We miss our kiddos, and we look forward to the time when we can safely be together! ____________________
