Save the Dates! 
Rabbi David Friedenreich is coming back to Maui

We are delighted to welcome Rabbi David Freidenreich back to JCM next week - Friday, Aug 2nd and Saturday, Aug 3rd.

For those who remember him, last year he led a Saturday morning Shabbat service followed by a special Torah Study to help the Jewish community heal from the wildfires and the Hamas war that began on Oct. 7th.

This visit, Rabbi David will lead services on both Friday evening and Saturday morning, focusing on reflecting on last year's events and moving forward together towards a hopeful and brighter future.

There will be a Potluck Dinner on Friday evening and a light brunch on Saturday. More details to follow.

Rabbi David is with the Center for Small Town Jewish Life, and his visit is supported by the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation to help our community grow. Thank you Rabbi David for sharing your time and wisdom with us.  

We are looking forward to your presence in welcoming him back. 

Mahalo!

 During a recent trip to the  
 Mainland, Kalo had the delightful
 chance  to connect with two   families who vacationed on   Maui and attended Shabbat   service at JCM a few weeks   back.

 Edwin and Deborah Harris   originally hail from St. Louis,MO   but relocated to Southern   California a decade  ago. Ed,a   Rabbi and Psychologist runs his   practice in Santa Monica, while   Deborah serves as a Chaplin at   Holy Cross Medical enter in   Mission Hills.Together, they co-   founded the Playa Vista Jewish   Center. Kalo spent a lovely   afternoon at their favorite lunch   spot getting to know each and   discussing the possibility of Ed to   assist with High Holidays. 

 Sheldon and Emily Lodmer who founded the Malibu Jewish Center
 and Synagogue have been regular visitors to Maui for over 25 years
 Their recent trip was particularly special as three generations of the
 Lodmer family got to spend it together. 
  
 Kalo attended her first Shabbat on the Beach with Sheldon and 
 Emily where she was warmly welcomed by members of the Malibu
 Jewish Center and Synagogue who showed empathy for the people
 of Maui as they experienced their own devastation during the Malibu   Woolsey Fires in 2018.

 Following a heartfelt joyous service, the Lodmers gave a tour of
 their home, which had been beautifully renovated after the fires.
 Their story can be found on page 49 of Malibu Times, accessible
 through this  link: 
https://issuu.com/colonymagazine/docs/mtm_home23_november_3663fcd3acf6 6d.

 Mahalo to the Harrises and Lodmers for their gracious hospitality
 towards Kalo, their donations that help sustain JCM, enabling it to
 serve both Jewish residents and visitors, and most importantly,
 for sharing the spirit of Aloha.

 We look forward to their next visit to Maui and their return to
 JCM.

Any changes and additions will be posted on the website calendar.
