DROP-IN TALK STORY GROUP:  Mondays from 11:00 AM-12:30 PM.

Please join us at the Jewish Congregation of Maui
​​​​​​​634 Alulike St Kihei, HI 96753


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 have all been affected on beautiful Maui. Work, life and relationships have changed. We may be feeling  sadness, overwhelm, disorientation, stress, etc. Come listen and share with others.

It is fine just to be present and to listen. Please respect confidentiality to the greatest extent possible, especially not disclosing who is present or who spoke about a particular topic. 

Please email if you have any questions. We look forward to sharing with you!

Mahalo!   

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.  
Spring session begins Sunday, January 14th
Children ages 5-12 may enroll.
Contact Kalo or Happy Lefton to register!!
