Tuesday, November 24 7:00pm Class with Sam S. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5284619173 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.
JCM is thrilled that Toby is on Maui this month! Join us for a masked and socially distanced outdoor service...or join us by Zoom. His services are well-attended by both Maui and mainland residents and we look forward to having him on Maui. Come sing and enjoy this fun service to welcome Shabbat.
*Toby arrived last week from the mainland with a negative test. *Please check the calendar at mauijews.org before heading to JCM. In-person events may need to be changed depending on Maui health protocols.

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 anyone who wants to celebrate this rite of passage.
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).
This class will be finalized in the next few weeks, and the details will be published. ____________________
