*Special Announcement 

Dear JCM Members, 

We would like to extend a warm invitation to join us for the morning Shabbat service this Saturday, January 20th. This will be the first morning Shabbat service we've had in awhile. Sam Shnider will be leading the service but welcomes anyone who would like to assist. 

After the service, we will be hosting a brunch to honor our dedicated lay leaders and generous donors who have contributed their time, effort, and resources to our Shabbat services. Ed Finkel,the Managing Director of the Jewish Federation of North America will be joining us. Ed was instrumental in JFNA's contribution to the wildfire funds for the Jewish communities on Maui. The service will be from 10am-11:30am. Brunch to follow shortly thereafter. 

In observance of Shabbat, this gathering is a social event not a business meeting. Please RSVP to Kalo at jcmmauijews@gmail.com by 12pm on Thursday, January 18th if you are able to attend. If you have any questions, please contact Kalo. Friendly reminder that will also have service on Friday evening. We are eagerly looking forward to your presence and participation.

Mahalo! 

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!

Talmud Torah will meet on Sunday mornings from 10:30-12pm.
