Maui Jews News

Story Time.....

Last Friday, we faced an unexpected situation that resulted in the last-minute cancellation of Shabbat services. Since we were unable to communicate this change in time, we had an arrival of visitors -Gavriel and Shayna Strauss with their two young daughters. Upon informing them of the cancellation, Gavriel stepped up to the bima to lead an impromptu Shabbat service, joined by our longtime member, Joe Narrowe, to accommodate those who wished to participate both online and in person.

We are grateul to Gavriel for leading last week's service and for offering to lead Shabbat services this week as a mitzvah. 

Please join us to welcome back Gavriel and his family back to JCM. 

Gavriel Strauss is a Spiritual Counselor and Relationship Coach who supports his clients in a somatic oriented process of healing and integration, on a path toward actualizing a more empowered Life Vision and Sacred Purpose. Gavriel is trained in IFS: Internal Family Systems therapeutic model, and is ordained as a Mashpiah (Spiritual Director/Companion) through ALEPH Ordinations Program. Gavriel organizes, facilitates and leads the Nelson Jewish community in Shabbat and holiday services, gatherings and rituals.

Having lived in the mountains of Tsfat for 6 years studying with some of the great modern Kabbalists, Gavriel is steeped in the Jewish mystical tradition. He weaves this knowledge together with progressive spiritual and therapeutic methods to form a comprehensive Jewish model of personal growth and tikkün olam (holistic healing of the world) called Path of Tikkün.
