TEENS***TEENS***TEENS***TEENS An event all for you...see Monday, January 17
Rabbi Raanan Visit
We look forward to welcoming Rabbi Raanan for a one week visit. This is his final interview to see if he is the match to be our next rabbi. We know that COVID cases are surging and we understand if you are not comfortable coming to meet him. We will do our best to provide Zoom (keep in mind that sound may not be perfect) and we will have strict protocols in place.
It is our intention that on Monday, January 17, the board will vote on whether to offer Rabbi Raanan a contract and Rabbi Raanan will determine if he sees Maui as his new home. Please reach out to a board member if you have comments, praise, or concerns after any event this week.
Indoor seating is limited to 50 people. In order to be both safe and inclusive during in-person indoor events, attendees need to pre-register and show at the door either a vaccination card or a proof of a negative COVID test within 48 hours. Everyone is required to wear a face mask that has two or more layers and completely covers the nose and mouth. Reservations for each event will close 24 hours prior to allow us adequate time for set up.
ZOOM will be used to stream as many of our services as possible. We know that it can be difficult to hear sometimes, and we will do our best to make it enjoyable for everyone.
I would like to think I thought of everything... but if I missed a detail, please ask. I will add to the calendar and descriptions throughout the week...Please check the calendar often.
