It was so wonderful to celebrate the holidays together. We had a packed sanctuary, all who wanted an aliyah had one, we made new friends, caught up with old friends, and it is the start of a sweet and wonderful year at JCM. 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.

 

Rabbi Emanuel Ben-David and Sam Shnider along with Gabbais Sheri Levin McNerthney & Simon Vojdani provided us a holiday of celebration, prayer, study, and community.

UPDATE:

YOU ARE ALL AMAZING...YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE

We asked and you responded. We are so humbled by the generosity of our community. We are well on our way to reaching the $60,000! The amount we raised will all be tabulated and reported next week. MAHALO AND TODA RABA

Air Conditioning!

 

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 Our AC system is outdated and not functioning at full efficiency due to leaks and lack of suction so the hot air gets mixed with the cool air.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.
