Join us on Sunday, Sept. 25 after 6pm services where we will learn about the tradition to place certain foodstuffs on the table that hint in some way to prayers and hopes for the coming year. Our Sages teach that we are to have the following foods: 1. Rubia - Fenugreek 2. Cartee - Leek or Cabbage 3. Silka - Beets 4. Tamarei - Dates 5. Kara - Gourd 6. Rosh - Fish or sheep head (vegan: making a head out of ground impossible meat) 7. Apples and Honey 8. Round Challah 9. Pomegranate We will briefly discuss together the reason for each food and come up with new ideas for the new year.
JCM will have a Maui Food Bank collection bin at our front doors starting Sept. 16 through Simchat Torah.
Family Shabbat: Sept. 17 @ 10am: Join Rabbi Raanan and Josh Kalkstein for a short and lively service.

A voice in the direction your community is heading
Children of paternal lineage are equally Jewish
