Book Club starting soon!

Our first Book selection is...

Just an Ordinary Girl by Heather Samuels

Heather is a long-time JCM member, and we are proud to kick-off our Book Club with her new novel...

She will be signing books at Barnes & Noble on Saturday, October 19 @ 1pm so stop by get her book and get reading. We will let you know as soon as we have a date for our first meeting.

Air Conditioning reminder!

Yes, it's hot at the shul. Our AC system is outdated and not functioning at full efficiency due to leaks and lack of suction so the hot air gets mixed with the cool air. Our system runs on a cooling element that will be discontinued as of Jan 1, 2020, so the decision was made to not sink any more money into the system.

We use portables mixed with our central system which works ok for smaller groups in the shul, and when we have many people, our system can't keep up with the heat
generated in the building. This is a high priority.

When (not if) we raise the $60,000 from the above challenge, the Bonus Gift of $30,000 we receive will allow us to get a new, energy efficient system for the shul. The system won't cost us that much, so we'll have other uses for that gift as well...

Thank you for your generosity in making sure we provide you and our community a comfortable and cool shul.

AND...if you have anyone you would like to come give us a bid on our new system, please email admin@mauijews.org with their contact information, and we will give them a call.

We are so excited about 5780 and what this year will hold for all of us. We look forward to see you all in this new year.

APOLOGIES:

We had a miscommunication with Tashlich at the beach on Monday. We sincerely apologize for anyone who was at the beach and we were not there. Thank you for your understanding, and if you would still like to have a small ceremony before Yom Kippur, we would be happy to help you. We feel terrible about the error, and we ask for your continued trust and faith in JCM.

JCM joins the Maui community in the mourning of

Robert Bluh.

May his memory always be for a blessing.

Giving to Shul (usually with a tabbed note card) is customary at the holidays. Because we do not have tickets (we welcome everyone- for free) it makes collecting your donation at our service tricky. We ask that you give as deep as you can in an amount that is meaningful to you and your family. Our little corner of egalitarian and inclusive Judaism must continue; and that is up you...and me... and all of us. Together, we can ensure that our Jewish children grow up on Maui with a Jewish community that is inclusive and welcoming of everyone. We appreciate gifts big and small, sustaining gifts to our 1800 club, and your membership.

Mahalo and Toda Raba!

JCM has received a generous challenge gift of $30,000 from a lead donor.

A Message from the President

We have entered the Hebrew month of Elul, a time of deep spiritual potency as we prepare for the High Holidays. We are called upon to enter these days thoughtfully and to consider what they mean. This is time set aside in the Jewish calendar to reflect on and repair our relationship with ourselves, with each other, and with G-d.

In the spirit of Elul, I ask you to reflect on your relationship with JCM. What does JCM mean to you? JCM has an incredibly exciting future. Do you want to be part of it?

Now during Elul/September, you have an extra-special opportunity to be part of JCM’s future. Every dollar you give to JCM counts toward the matching challenge gift made possible by the generosity of an anonymous donor. Plus, a percentage of your contribution to JCM made via the Foodland Give Aloha program will be also matched by Foodland. So during the whole month of Elul, your contribution to JCM can be tripled.

There is no better time for you to reaffirm the perpetuity of Jewish life on Maui.

Shana Tovah U’Metukah - May you be blessed with a sweet and good New Year.

A Message from the President

Wow, what an awesome Shabbaton weekend! It was so beautiful to see us all come together with such joy and celebration. On Thursday evening we learned some very surprising Talmud passages related to the little-known holiday of Tu B’Av. On Friday evening we brought in Shabbat with song and dance and an amazing Shabbat dinner under the stars. Saturday we celebrated Shabbat with Rabbi Shalom’s rousing melodies, heartfelt prayer, inspiring Torah study, and more delicious food. On Saturday evening we bid Shaloha to Shabbat as Rabbi Shalom’s stories captivated the children with rapt attention, followed by more song and of course more great food.

May we all enjoy many future Shabbat celebrations together.

Kol tuv,

Sheri

Sacred community can be a powerful antidote to our troubled world. Sacred community is the wellspring for the sense of connection and higher purpose that we are all seeking. Jewish life is all about building sacred community.

The vision of our JCM leadership is to create joyful Jewish sacred community on Maui. We are currently reviewing resumes for over 25 applicants for our open Rabbi position. A primary quality we are seeking in a new Rabbi is skill and experience in community building.

One of our Rabbi candidates, Rabbi Shalom Bochner, will be visiting Maui to facilitate a joyful weekend celebration of Jewish life August 15-18. The theme of this celebration is Tu B’Av: the Jewish Holiday of Love.

Join us for one or all of these Tu B’Av events. Details are on our website, mauijews.org.

A Message from The President:

Because We’re Jews

To everyone who has renewed your membership to JCM during our current membership drive, thank you. Mahalo nui loa. Toda raba for supporting Jewish life on Maui.

To everyone else, what are you waiting for?

Why become a member of JCM right now? The answer is pure and simple: Because we’re Jews.

When my aunt and uncle (ob”m) from Israel visited me on Maui 15 years ago, they made a donation to JCM. Why? Because we’re Jews. We are an outpost of Am Yisrael - the people of Israel- in the most remote spot on earth.

Maybe you’re thinking you want to “wait and see what happens”. Maybe you’re thinking you’re “not the synagogue type”. Maybe you’re just plain by a past encounter with JCM, or by the present transition.

Membership in JCM is not like a gym membership. It is not a transaction for services. Membership in JCM is a statement of principle. When you become a member of JCM you are making a personal declaration of support for Am Yisrael. When you are a member of JCM you are saying “I care about being Jewish, and Jewish survival in the world is important to me”.

I’m asking you to renew your membership today. Because We’re Jews.

Kol Tov,

Sheri

Traveling JCM Shabbat !

"The Schechinah traveled ten journeys...from the wall to the city; and from the city to the mountain close and from the mountain to the wilderness..."

To get more people involved in Friday night services, JCM is looking to host Shabbat services once a month in people's homes and other venues throughout the community.

Get a chance to host your own Friday night service - have input on the prayers, songs, and set up. Lead sections of the prayers, and invite all those close to you, and all those who will be inspired to come.

Thinking of hosting? Contact admin@mauijews.org or Sam at samshnider@gmail.com.

Rabbi Bochner Shabbaton Weekend

August 15-18

Click here for details

A Message from The President:

Will JCM survive past this coming Sukkot? It’s up to each of us.

The JCM culture of depending on a handful of angel donors for survival is poisonous. Our entire community must have ownership in JCM - “skin in the game” - in order for JCM to thrive. My top priority right now is membership. We are having a membership call-a-thon Tuesday evening with the goal of 100% renewal for current members. I want to follow this up with a membership campaign targeting everyone who has ever been a member of JCM. If you are reading these words, and you have not yet renewed your membership for our new fiscal year of July 1, 2019-June 30, 2020 then I am asking you to renew or re-join now. It’s easy. Surf on over to mauijews.com and simply click on Join.

I want to make it crystal clear to the community that we are indeed talking about survival here. If we want a full spectrum of Jewish life to survive on Maui for all the Jewish babies being born and raised here — if we want to preserve an example of Jewish life where girls can sing out loud and be counted equally — then each person needs to stretch their pocketbook and give, whatever that means for them.

If you have ever been a member of JCM during its over 20-year history, then I know you care. You care about about Jewish continuity. You care about the Jewish people. You care about Jewish survival. We the members of JCM are the stewards of our little corner of the Jewish people. If you are a Jew on Maui, if you are a Jew who has ever visited Maui and been amazed (“there are Jews on Maui???”), if you are a Jew who wants to visit Maui (isn’t that everyone???) then I’m inviting you to be part of our Maui Jewish ‘Ohana.

Part of the challenge here is that we want to know what we are giving for. To that end, I want to give each of us a clear picture of what JCM could look like. I am personally financing, along with Dr Eve Berman, a Shabbaton weekend in mid-August with a visiting rabbi I know from the mainland. His name is Rabbi Shalom Bochner. He is currently the Rabbi of a Conservative shul in Modesto, CA, where over the past six years he took a congregation in a crisis situation not unlike ours and rebuilt it into a thriving community.

Rabbi Shalom specializes in building “many pathways” into Jewish life. He is a community builder. He is solid and steady. He is a genuinely caring person. I personally think he is the ideal Rabbi model for JCM. I am bringing him here because I want our community to experience his approach. My goal is to present a clear vision of what is possible for our community, so that everyone is motivated to give generously to make that possibility a reality.

The Shabbaton is scheduled for the weekend of Tu B’Av - the “Jewish Valentine’s Day” - August 15-18. There are several different events planned: details are on our website, mauijews.com. I ask you to plan on attending some or all parts of this very special Shabbaton. It’s going to be joyous, inspirational, uplifting, and a lot of fun!

Kol tuv,

Sheri

Rabbi Bochner Shabbaton Weekend

August 15-18

A Message from The President:

First of all, thank you. I am honored to be entrusted by you to serve as our community as President at this critical time of transition. Our primary task is clear: rebuilding relationships. Our previous Board, under the tireless leadership of Ellyn Mortimer, guided our community on the first steps of this transition. We now have the opportunity to build on this foundation to guide our community to greatness.

It starts and ends with relationships; rebuilding broken relationships and building new ones. Everything we do must be focused through the lens of building relationships. Many in our community regard JCM membership as a transactional proposition: I pay you x dollars, you provide me with services and programming (a Bar mitzvah, High Holiday services, etc). I want us to guide our community away from this fee-for-service view and toward a relational view: my membership of x dollars supports Jewish life on Maui, creates a place where I can connect with my tribe.

We have tremendous potential. We CAN create the vibrant, egalitarian and inclusive Jewish community that we all want. We can create a true Kehilah - a sacred community - which infuses each of our individual lives with purpose and deep connection. Our job as Jews is and has always been to carry the torch of morality, of right living in the world, of serving something greater than ourselves. We Jews call that nameless something “Hashem” - “The Name”.

Join me in building Jewish community on Maui. Join or renew your membership today. And please consider giving an extra Gift From the Heart. The need is critical. The time is now.

All the best,

Sheri Levin McNerthney

Words of Wisdom

by Sam Shnider

This week’s Torah portion is Shelach (Numbers13:1 to 15:41) which recounts the story of the spies-twelve representatives, one from each tribe, who were sent to scout the land-and concludes with the mitzvah of Tzitzit, the fringes on the corners of a Talit, and the mitzvah of wearing the Talit itself.

The spies were sent to “scout” the land:

When Moses sent them to scout the land of Canaan, he said to them, “Go up there into the Negeb and on into the hill country, and see what kind of country it is.

Are the people who dwell in it strong or weak, few or many?

Is the country in which they dwell good or bad? Are the towns they live in open or fortified?

Is the soil rich or poor? Is it wooded or not? And take pains to bring back some of the fruit of the land.”

New Rabbi Job Description is Complete...Click here to read it.

We are excited to see who will be our next leader. If you want to be involved in this process, please let us know. Once we receive resumes, there will be a vetting process and the strongest candidates will be shared with the members. We plan to have enough funds to bring the finalists to Maui to meet everyone and get all of your feedback.

High Holidays...they are quickly approaching. Sam and the Board of Directors are working on the details of the upcoming holidays to ensure that they are meaningful for everyone. We will get the schedule posted as soon as we have one. If you have any ideas or input on the holidays, please let us know at admin@mauijews.org

Everything that we work on is for the whole of the congregation. Because of that, we welcome your input, your ideas, and your participation. We want to be doing the things that will bring you to JCM, so let us know

To achieve both of these endeavors, we need your help.

We want to offer our new rabbi the best possible salary package to join our congregation, and we need donations to help us pay for a visiting Rabbi for the High Holidays... it's up to all of us. I read on Facebook and hear from our congregants that you want a full time rabbi- now is the time to show you mean it.

Do you have a condo JCM could use to house a visiting Rabbi? We are looking for August 16-18 and September 27- October 10.

Join, Renew, Donate, Participate... it matters.

Words of Wisdom

by Sam Shnider

This week's portion is Beha'alotecha (Numbers 8:1-12:16). It is full of many ideas and topics for meditation, which seem almost disconnected in their multifaceted variety: a description of the lighting of the menorah and the eternal light; a ceremony that launches the Levites onto their careers as spiritual teachers; an account of how outcasts were given a second opportunity to join the community in the observance of passover; an account of the pillar of fire and the pillar of cloud and the orchestration of moving a camp of over a million persons with a system of bugle calls and beacons; and the order of the movement of the people by tribe, each tribe with its flag and its general.

Traveling JCM Shabbats!

"The Schechinah traveled ten journeys...from the wall to the city; and from the city to the mountain close and from the mountain to the wilderness..."

To get more people involved in Friday night services, JCOM is looking to host Shabbat services once a month in people's homes and other venues throughout the community.

Get a chance to host your own Friday night service - have input on the prayers, songs, and set up. Lead sections of the prayers, and invite all those close to you, and all those who will be inspired to come.

The first "traveling shabbat" Friday night service will be held in Lahaina on July 12. We are working on coordinating a location, and have a few suggestions. Thinking of hosting? Contact admin@mauijews.org or Sam at samshnider@gmail.com.

JCM CHOIR forming now!

JCM mourns the loss of our friend

Miriam Katz

My mother Miriam Katz, passed on late Sunday afternoon. She is a member of JCOM.

It was a difficult day, but a beautiful ending to her long and wonderful life. Her breathing was different but she was not in pain. I knew the time was imminent. I am grateful that Noah and Lily were there.
Noah and Lily can look back on that day and be proud that they were there to send her off with love. My mother knew we were there. I was with her the whole afternoon. Sending her off was a sad but wonderful experience. I wish I could have had that with my father.
There is a lot to do as she will be going to Israel to be buried next to my father.
We will have an event on Maui at some point. Family and friends have been writing their experience in knowing her and I may create a memorial if you have something to add.
Here are photos of her at her best. ~Joel Katz

All About Elections

Thank you to everyone who came in to vote last week. It was wonderful to say hello to so many friends and finally meet some new friends face to face.

Off-island ballots have been sent. If you have not received yours and haven't let me know, please do, and I can get a new one out to you right away. Ballots are being counted during the Annual Meeting on June 23 at noon, so ballots must be received prior to that.

Also, please remember to vote both sides of the ballot. The proposed set of bylaws available here. You must be logged in as a member to view the election information. If you need a login reset, please email ellynmortimer@gmail.com.

From Ellyn Mortimer...

This week is all business:

Membership:

Your membership is up June 30. We are changing our membership to partner with our fiscal year of July 1- June 30. Dues are not increasing, and as always, you will not need High Holiday tickets or ever pay to pray. Thank you to everyone who renewed memberships, donated to our congregation, and has shown support... we will be making membership renewal phone calls in the next week or so. If you don't like a phone call, You may want to renew now. click here :)

Rabbi Search:

Our rabbi job description will be ready soon. It will be posted locally for anyone who wants to forward it on, and it will be listed globally. We have received a few unsolicited resumes, and once we have a good selection, we will have the search committee meet and select the finalists. We plan on bringing out final candidates for a Shabbaton weekend. If we can afford this, we will do it... and that leads us to...

Fundraising:

You are cordially invited to the kick-off meeting for the JCM Fundraising Committee 2.0. We're meeting at the synagogue on Friday June 14 from 12-1:47. We welcome your input, ideas, whatever you can do to help us move forward. Please rsvp or call/email with questions. Marc@improvmysales.com or 718 637-7890.

Security:

Two cameras have been added outside that are on a continued live feed. We now have motion sensors on all windows and doors, cameras inside that take clips as needed, and outside cameras that are always recording. Coupled with our new alarm system, we have made securing our shul a top priority.

Thank you everyone for your kind words, shows of support, voting, sending notes, attendance and participation, letting us know your priorities/wants/needs... THANK YOU!!!

Join, Renew, Donate, Participate... it matters.

Words of Wisdom

by Sam Shnider

The Parshah this week, Naso, ("Lift Up") contains one of the oldest of biblical texts that have still survived to this day - the priestly blessing, of Numbers 6:23-27. The Israel museum in Jerusalem has on display a tiny scroll, discovered by a thirteen year old Israeli schoolboy, who accidentally fell into a hidden cave in an excavation site headed by Gabriel Barkay at Ketef Hinnom in 1979. The tiny scroll took three years to unfurl with great care, and seven years to decipher. Once deciphered, the archaeologists found that it contained only the three verses of the priestly blessing - the same verses that we recognize. The scroll dates four centuries prior to the dead sea scrolls, to the times of Jeremiah.

From Ellyn Mortimer...

This is Election is taking up much of our time, I apologize for not writing and eloquent update on what has been happening this week.

Here are the quick details (well, as quick as a chatterbox like me can be).

I do want to let everyone know that people have responded, and membership renewals are coming in and we are on our way to the matching gift. Thank you to everyone who is excited with us for the future of JCM. I have loved seeing old friends nad meeting new ones this week when you come in to vote.

I also want to let you know we have installed two continual loop cameras at the entrances to JCM. While we do not want to live in fear, we do want to take great precautions for everyone's safety.

See you at our Beit Shalom voting booth!

Words of Wisdom

This week we read Parshat Bamidbar, count the 49th day in the cycle seven weeks, and continue immediately into the Festival of Shavuot, which begins on Saturday night June 8, and concludes on Monday evening.

The Festival of Shavuot is referred to alternatively as “the festival of the harvest” (Exodus 23:14), “the festival of first fruits” (Numbers 28:26), since the offerings on that day where made from the first harvest of the wheat, and ”the festival of the giving of the Torah” since Rabbinic interpretation marks the day as the day when the Torah was given, by calculating the days from the exodus from Egypt.

Words of Wisdom

by Sam Shnider

Parshat Bechukotai (Leviticus 26:3-27:34) which we read this week, begins with one of the greatest theological riddles of the entire Torah: an account of the Blessings and Curses. God tells the People of Israel that if they observe the commandments and follow the laws,
וְנָתַתִּ֥י גִשְׁמֵיכֶ֖ם בְּעִתָּ֑ם וְנָתְנָ֤ה הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ יְבוּלָ֔הּ וְעֵ֥ץ הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה יִתֵּ֥ן פִּרְיֽוֹ׃
I will grant your rains in their season, so that the earth shall yield its produce and the trees of the field their fruit.

Message From the President

by Ellyn Mortimer

It's time for the talk...

Do you want a synagogue on Maui?

Do you want a full time rabbi?

Join and donate today.

If you want a Jewish Congregation on Maui, you need to give and join today. Not next week or month, but today. Before we continue our work on a refreshed JCM, we need to know that it will be supported...if you have a money tree , we'll gladly take that too!

I am optimistic that I am not the only person who wants a synagogue with a full-time rabbi on Maui... now is the time to step forward and show that you want one too.

Join or renew your membership by June 20, and you will receive a $25 certificate to Five Palms or the JCM Judaica store.
Make a donation above and beyond your membership, and it will be matched up to $20,000. We have a donor who will match whatever you give... so if we can raise $20,000, we will actually get $40,000!
Join the 1800 Club and pledge $18/month

We are working on a warm, welcoming, community-driven, egalitarian, non-affiliated (accepting to all), vibrant, full-time conservative(ish) rabbi, executive admin, services, kosher, parties, holidays, classes, speakers, safe, beautiful, inspiring, loving shul...and it all comes with a hefty price tag. That's just reality.

Our goal is to have an administrator who along with the board and rabbi will set up and maintain a sustainable income model for our synagogue. It will always include each of us making a financial commitment, and we will not always be in the critical financial situation we are in today. Until we get to that point, we all need to make the decision if we are willing to step up to make sure we have JCM at all. If you don't want JCM, we will stop volunteering

For me and you, and our children, and visitors...the only egalitarian congregation on Maui...are you in, or we out?

With gratitude and aloha,

Ellyn

p.s.. My membership is up in September, and I renewed today, paid in full.

p.p.s. For those of you wondering about why we don't just ask our major donors... we need to show our major donors that our shul is worth their investment. If we all renew and grow our membership, they will see how dedicated we are in keeping JCM, and they will feel more confident joining us.

Words of Wisdom

by Sam Shnider

This week we read Parshat Behar, one of the final readings in Leviticus(25:1-26:2). The portion begins with the description of the Shemittah, or Sabbatical year. The Torah directs us in a particular relationship to the land - and teaches us that we never truly possess it.

שֵׁ֤שׁ שָׁנִים֙ תִּזְרַ֣ע שָׂדֶ֔ךָ וְשֵׁ֥שׁ שָׁנִ֖ים תִּזְמֹ֣ר כַּרְמֶ֑ךָ וְאָסַפְתָּ֖ אֶת־תְּבוּאָתָֽהּ׃

Six years you may sow your field and six years you may prune your vineyard and gather in the yield.

וּבַשָּׁנָ֣ה הַשְּׁבִיעִ֗ת שַׁבַּ֤ת שַׁבָּתוֹן֙ יִהְיֶ֣ה לָאָ֔רֶץ שַׁבָּ֖ת לַיהוָ֑ה שָֽׂדְךָ֙ לֹ֣א תִזְרָ֔ע וְכַרְמְךָ֖ לֹ֥א תִזְמֹֽר׃

But in the seventh year the land shall have a sabbath of complete rest, a sabbath of the LORD: you shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard. Leviticus 25:3-4.

Words of Wisdom

by Sam Shnider

This week we read Parshat Emor (Leviticus 21:1-24:23). This section continues some of the themes from the previous portion, Kedoshim (18:1-24:22) which begins with the verse “you shall be holy,” giving the people of Israel the potential for sanctity and holiness in their own lives and their relations to others, including the ethical commandment “you shall love your neighbor as yourself,” and the commandments of honoring elders, and remaining in awe of your parents. The key to an understanding of the previous portion is an understanding of the word Kadosh (“sacred” or “sanctified” ) and how our relationship to our own soul and that of others creates the sacred in our lives.

Happy Mother's Day... Need a last minute gift?

Message From the President

I feel most connected to my grandfather when I'm at temple. When I was young, I asked him why every Friday night he held his little white prater book while we sang the kiddush over the wine. I mean, we all knew it by heart! He said that our eyes should read the words, that we should commit them to our brains each wek, and that he wanted to read the words that his father had read. This has stuck with me.

The High Holidays are the other time I feel connected to him. Playing with his talllis when I was young, thumb wars during those long services, candies from his tallis bag... and then when I left home and didn't have him next to me anymore, I had the words in the siddur, the words he read just hours before at shul in Minnesota to keep me feeling close to him and my family. We were Jews together no matter where in the world we lived. We were connected in our prayer, in our Jewish intention, and in the words we read, even when we knew them by heart.

My grandfather passed away just 4 years ago at 99 years old, and now I have his little white prayer book, and I read the kiddush every Friday night, even though I know it by heart. This is part of my connection to Papa.

I also think of him when I eat apple pie or buy a box of Sees candy nuts and chews or a million other things...but my connection to him, when I really feel him, is strongest when I'm reading the prayers.

This is why I need this shul... and I will do everything I can to keep this congregation and this building for me, for you, for my children, for your grandchildren, for our Jewish community.

The responsibility to keep Beit Shalom is up to all of us...

With much aloha,

Ellyn

P.S...call your mom. And if you can't, tell another mom in your life that she is doing a wonderful job. Your mom would be proud.

Words of Wisdom

This week we read Parshat Acharei Mot, Leviticus 16:1 to 18:30. The Parshah opens with a description of the service of the high priest in purifying the sanctuary and atoning for the people of Israel on the holiest of days - The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur).

The preface to the description of this sacred service does not designate it at all as connected with a holiday or particular time of year. Rather it is connected to the death of Aaron’s two sons (see Leviticus 10) - two young men at the peak of their lives, who were struck down for unclear reasons at the moment of the dedication of the temple.

Mahalo to Sam and Shayna for putting together a Memorial service in memory of Lori Gilbert who was killed in Poway, California on Saturday morning and in memory of those who were killed in Pittsburgh sox months ago.

May there memories always be for a blessing.

Message From the President

Happy Tuesday...Today I am thinking about Rabbi Glickman. Today is his last day as official Rabbi of Beit Shalom and the Jewish Congregation of Maui, it is truly the end of an era at Beit Shalom. I moved to Maui in 1994 and sat under a pergola in Kihei while lay-leaders led services, and it was lovely. My grandfather would have demanded a swift return to MN if he knew I wasn't in a shul with a proper ark and a Rabbi, so I didn't tell him. And then Rabbi Glickman saved the day. With so much dedication, he chose to become our leader and look how far he brought us. He did not do it alone, but he was our leader.

I can only reflect on what David has meant to me and my family...He tutored my oldest son for his Bar Mitzvah, even though it wasn't held on Maui and he didn't get to be part of the celebration. He helped me truly understand the meaning and significance of what a bat/bar mitzvah really meant. He held my daughter in our home and blessed her at her baby naming ceremony. Rabbi's children and mine went to Hebrew and Sunday School together and later formed a teen group that met upcountry. Rabbi Glickman called when I was getting divorced to see if I was okay and needed help. He was my rabbi, and he was my children's rabbi. His services were my connection to my grandparents and family who lived far away. Did I agree with everything? no... and that's ok, I don't have to agree with everything, and that does not take away the gifts he has given me as my rabbi. He was my rabbi, and no matter who comes as our next leader, Rabbi Glickman holds a place in Jewish life on Maui and in my heart forever.

In recent months others have also shared with me their stories of what Rabbi Glickman has meant to them. I am so glad that he has been so loved and revered in our community, and I hope that he will continue to be part of our Jewish life on Maui.

Thank you Rabbi for the Jewish community and congregation you helped create and nurture on Maui. I am grateful for you.

With love and aloha,

Ellyn

p.s. I wish Rabbi Glickman good health as he recovers from his recent surgery, and I am sure you all will join me in adding him to your good thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
