Maui Jews News

Today Rabbi Raanan Mallek represented the Jewish Congregation of Maui at the Veteran's Cemetary in Makawao. 

O Sovereign of the Universe, bless the United States of America. Safeguard it and its ideals of freedom and liberty. Bless our Veterans, our Defenders of Liberty, who braved danger. Grant healing and recovery to those who have been wounded.
And let us say Amen.

Thank you to those who volunteered and donated towards
Shavuot by the Fire at JCM. It was a delicious
​​​​​​​and wonderful celebration.
Big Mahalo to Jeffrey Pinchuk who donated
fantastic cheesecakses for the occasion.

We are pleased to announce that we have raised the $10,000 for the matching challenge!
Please give today for
JCM's tomorrow

Please meet our Board Member of the week....

Aloha JCM Members.
I am Barbara Cooper, a lifelong learner and educator.  My first introduction to JCM was as single adult in 2005, at a time when I had a different focus on life. More recently in 2014, I moved back to Maui with my family of four.  As a mother of two teenage children, recently B’not Mitzvah at JCM, I feel the need for Pluralistic opportunities for our older youth.

Growing up in the Reform Movement and NFTY, I spent evenings at my synagogue and summer at camp building relationships with my Jewish peers and forging my Jewish identity. As a board member, I would like be part of our synagogue’s emphasis on bringing together our next generation and their families. JCM should be more than a house of worship; it should be a house of community. I am ready to be part of the change.

Feel free to say Aloha to Barbara if you ever see her at JCM or throughout town! 

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.
