A big mahalo to The Jewish Congregation of Maui my recent hire as the new Administrative Assistant! I am very happy to be here for the congregation as a whole. I plan to make everyone’s lives a little bit easier, and be a consistent presence around the Shul. Thank you to the Board of Directors for granting me this opportunity to serve my community once again, and thank you to the community for being so welcoming and supportive of my new role here!

Israeli Folk Dancing IS BACK!
Sundays, Starting in February!
3:00pm - 5:00pm
Led by Paula Wolk at JCM
Ages 16+

Since we are starting to dance on Feb.5, all are welcome to join us after the Tu B'Shevat activities.
Come learn some Israeli Folk dances.

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. We rely solely on
donations/memberships to pay our bills, our salaries, and programming. 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.
