A Sermon by Rabbi Raanan Mallek
The Empathetic Imperative - Kedoshim ואהבת לרעך כמוך And you shall love your neighbor as yourself -Leviticus 19:19 Being commanded to love by the Torah is a challenging theological concept for us to wrap our heads around. How can we be commanded to love? Is this not a personal feeling we manifest as a result of our personal choices? Perhaps the Torah is asking of us something else. The command “ואהבת” - “and you shall love” really means to care for and protect, to be loyal. It is all about how we show love, not with feelings but with action. Read More HERE
Any changes and additions will be posted on the website calendar.
Do you have a vision for the future of JCM? Do you have a pet project you want to see implemented? Is there something you don't like that you want to see change?
I invite you to consider serving on the JCM Board of Directors. Serving on the Board of Directors is the way to quit kvetching and do something to actually create the future you want!
We are seeking candidates to serve on the JCM Board of Directors, for the upcoming term starting July 1. You must be a voting member of JCM and a Maui resident to serve on the board.
If you are interested please email board@mauijews.org for more information.
