A DROP-IN TALK STORY GROUP has been created to provide a safe space to share thoughts and feelings after the recent life changing events, including the Maui Wildfire tragedy, war in the Middle East with its immediate and multigenerational effects and all the hurt and chaos of being in the world at this time.

We may be feeling sadness, overwhelm, disorientation, stress, etc. Come listen and share with others.

Talmud Torah (our religious school) has started!
Children learn Hebrew, study Jewish history and holidays, learn songs and prayers, sing, dance, do creative crafts, and have a grand time with their Jewish friends. Some highlights of previous years are clay menorah making, planting a garden, presenting several wonderful Purim plays, and Israeli dancing.
Talmud Torah will meet on Sunday mornings from 10:30-12pm. Children ages 5-12 may enroll. Contact Kalo or Happy Lefton to register!!
Any changes and additions will be posted on the website calendar.
Whether you're a Maui local or visitor and would like to lead or participate in leading a service, it would be a wonderful mitzvah we would gladly welcome. For details please contact Kalo at jcmmauijews@gmail.com
