Tuesday, February 23 7:00pm Class with Sam S. 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.

Make the commitment to support equal Judaism for everyone... we have 4 girls who will read from the Torah for their Bat Mitzvah in the Fall...that's why we "join." We are the only place on Maui that allows girls/women to the Torah- our community is necessary.
p.s. We don't like the word member either, but that's how it is widely recognized when you invest and commit to a community...so for now, we'll use the word member.
Become a member today.
JCM is on a path to 100...100 members.
When we get to 100, we will have a bonus gift of $20,000 to our rabbi fund.
