Mitzvot (Divine Commandments)
What are the mitzvot? Where do they appear in the Torah? What is their interpretation? What is their purpose? How have they been a basis for a Jewish life throughout the generations? How can they apply in our lives, how they can inspire us, and what opportunities can they give us to feel a sense of connection?
We will look together at some of the sources and think about their meaning and relevance.

Sam plans to start with a general discussion of what mitzvot are and why they are important -

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. 

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.
