If you don't give today, how can we be here tomorrow?
You may not need us every day, or even every week. But when you want us, you need us to be here.
Please give a gift to JCM for a successful 2023. We rely solely on donations/memberships to pay for dynamic programming, our bills and the Rabbi's salary. Your gift now will ensure that our dynamic leadership team has the resources we need to be here for you and your Maui Jewish community.
Give with joy, give with pride, give today.
P.S. We're not spending money and using resources to send out letters, this is this our ask and our reminder to you that we do not exist without you.
I am very thankful to the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation for their sponsorship of the Nitzavim Hawai'i program that brought Rabbis and other Jewish leaders to Oahu to continue important conversations that you can read about HERE. This was after they supported a visit to Maui by their main speaker, Rabbi David Freidenreich of the Center for Small Town Jewish Life.
One of my central take-aways that is of special relevance to where we are as a congregation is learning how to move from SWOT to SOAR. SWOT analysis is a strategic planning technique used to help an organization identify Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats related to future planning. This technique is designed for use in the preliminary stages of decision-making processes and can be used as a tool for evaluation of the strategic position of organizations like JCM. SOAR, on the other hand, looks at Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Results and is an alternative technique inspired by appreciative inquiry.
Talmud Torah - open enrollment Wednesdays 5:00pm - 6:00pm We have a dozen students from ages 6-13 in three different classes. It's not too late to join the learning and the fun!
Our Mission: Our school seeks to inspire children to develop a rich Jewish life through a love of pluralistic learning and developing friendships in a diverse community.

At that time we will be discussing: The Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff
Grace Healey finds an abandoned suitcase tucked beneath a bench. Grace opens the suitcase, where she discovers a dozen photographs--each of a different woman. Grace takes the photographs and leaves the station.
Grace soon learns that the suitcase belonged to Eleanor Trigg, leader of a network of female secret agents who were deployed out of London during the war. Twelve of these women were sent to Occupied Europe as couriers and radio operators to aid the resistance, but they never returned home, their fates a mystery.
A light is shined on the incredible heroics of the brave women of the war and weaves a mesmerizing tale of courage, sisterhood and the great strength of women to survive in the hardest of circumstances
