Rabbi Raanan is on Maui!
We are so happy he is here, and we look forward to everyone meeting him. All events are posted on the calendar as well.
Pre-registration is mandatory for all events. Registration will close 24 hours prior to each event and be removed from the registration form.
Thank you for understanding that this is to both help us get ready and keep our entire community healthy.
TEENS***TEENS***TEENS***TEENS An event just for you...see Monday, January 17
Rabbi Raanan's visit is finally here. 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 be on 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.
In order to be both safe and inclusive during in-person indoor and outdoor 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.
