JCM Town Hall Meeting - Sunday, May 7 11am-1pm
Calling all JCM stakeholders who are interested in helping to envision JCM's future! We are inviting you to the first of a series of town hall meetings. This month, we will be focusing on our "Why" and guiding values for JCM. We’ll also spend time imagining future possibilities for our congregation that recognize the unique moment JCM is in. Brunch is served, and we will have time to eat, enjoy each other’s company, and feel at home in the synagogue. Come for the conversation, stay for the schmear, shakshuka and schmooze. Our goal here is to explore together where JCM is heading - come help us positively envision the future and make your own voice heard.

RESERVE THE DATE! SATURDAY, MAY 20, 2023, 12:00 PM TO 2:00PM at BARNES & NOBLE BOOKSELLERS KAHULUI, MAUI Diana Saltoon presents My Sister Meda, A Memoir of Old Singapore
My Sister Meda, A Memoir of Old Singapore by Diana Saltoon describes her family growing up in Singapore within a Sephardic Jewish Community during pre-war and post-WW2.
Diana depicts the history of an enclave of Sephardic Jews that arrived and settled on the island, calling their community the Mahalla. This memoir revolves around the author’s family, love, relationships, and particularly her sister Meda. The author brings to light a Singapore that few in today’s world know and the phenomenal harmony that existed between the country’s diverse, multicultural population under the umbrella of colonial rule. She then shows a darker side of Singapore – the Japanese occupation of the island during WW2, and in particular, her family’s internment at Sime Road Camp. But it is her sister Meda who changes their lives and ultimately provides a way for the family’s exodus from the East to the West.
“…this rich mosaic – combining a historical and cultural portrait with an interesting and curious family saga – is both touching, educational, and entertaining. The way that old Singapore opened its doors to foreigners fleeing persecution is an inspiring story.” -Ilene Moskowitz, Israel
