We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated in our Passover seder. It was an amazing turnout and a deep sense of community filled the synagogue. A special thank you goes to the volunteers from Hale Kau Kau, Church of Latter Day Saints, and Ellen Levinsky, along with Minao and Meera Kamegai for their generous donation towards the cleaning of the synagogue and kitchen.
We also appreciate contributions from Eskimo Candy and Maui Farmer's Market. A big shout out to Mitch Berman for kashering our kitchen and to Rabbi Mendy from Chabad of Maui for his gift of Shmurah Matzah. Additionally, we also commend Sam Shnider and Cynthia Lebowitz for leading a vibrant and engaging seder. Kudos to our chef - Jade Arnold who hails from Threes Restaurant.
We would like to shine the spotlight on an exceptional yet humble individual who consistently goes above and beyond, not just for Passover but for all JCM events. From assisting with set up, food preparations and clean up to recruiting family and friends to assist. Combined with her dedicated spirit, she has made a remarkable difference. We are delighted to recognize JCM's board member - Barbara Cooper for another successful Passover seder. Mahalo, Barbara; your unwavering support at the Jewish Congregation of Maui is truly appreciated.
Here are some moments we've captured from our seder. If you have any photos or videos from the seder that you'd like to share, please send them to jcmmauijews@gmail.com or post them on our Facebook page, Jewish Congregation of Maui - Beit Shalom.
May you and your loved ones continue the celebration of Passover! Chag Sameach!
