The holiday of Simchat Torah is in honor of the completion of the cycle of the Torah. We read the final verses of the Book of Books, reaffirm the eternal spirit of the Jewish people, and begin anew at the beginning of Genesis with the very first verses of creation. Everyone has a chance to take part in whatever capacity they wish to participate.

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 Our AC system is outdated and not functioning at full efficiency due to leaks and lack of suction so the hot air gets mixed with the cool air.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