Thank you to all who attended our meaningful Tisha B'Av services.
After Tisha B'Av comes the Shabbat called “Shabbat Nachamu.” Nachama means comfort or consolation. It is a Shabbat of healing, and picking up the pieces. It is the Shabbat after Tisha B’Av, following three intense weeks between the 17th of Tammuz and the 9th of Av.
On the evening of the 9th of Av, we spent time reflecting on the meaning of the day and how many times throughout history we were effected negatively by this difficult day. After such challenges, we need healing and this is what this Shabbat is for.
We all have firsthand feelings of division and feelings of destruction. This year, Shabbat Nachamu comes right when we need it, at the end of a difficult week when we have been shattered into tiny pieces.
Mourning is a healthy way to deal with the experience of death and destruction. We come to a consciousness of Eternity when we meditate on death... and this is a good thing. Life never dies. Life cannot be destroyed, broken, or shattered. Life is eternity, continually donning and shedding guises. [READ MORE BY CLICKING HERE...]

You all are much appreciated for taking time out of your busy lives to come together for a community member.
A few weeks ago, friends from the Church of Latter Day Saints paid us a visit. After learning that our JCM Community Garden needed help with watering, they volunteered to take on the task along with one of our members Hana Lynn. Mahalo elders James Cook, Ryan Smith and Hana for your kokua! We still need volunteers to give our humble little garden some TLC so that it can really flourish! Also give our volunteers a break. Let us know how you can help Mahalo!
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 our ask and our reminder to you that we do not exist without you.
