Welcoming Shabbat with Lecha Dodi in Maui, Hawaii

On November 8, Cantor Bryce Megdal of Los Angeles visited the Jewish Congregation of Maui/Beit Shalom Synagogue in Hawaii to lead a special Shabbat service followed by dinner under the stars.

Since September 2013, Cantor Megdal has been one of two B’nai Mitzvah teachers at Kehillat Israel (KI) Reconstructionist Synagogue of the Pacific Palisades. In May 2015, she received a Master’s Degree in Jewish Studies with an Emphasis in Music in Jewish Life from ARJCA, and in August 2015, she transferred into the Cantorial Program.  

The Jewish Congregation of Maui maintains a warm, friendly environment for all Jews, regardless of personal affiliation or observance level. As the only synagogue on this beautiful island, it is non-affiliated. Its doors are open for any Jew who wants to have a place to worship and connect with other Jews.

Beit Shalom has a kosher dairy kitchen, and is also a Shomer Shabbat facility. The sanctuary has both mixed and separate seating areas, with a mechitza available. The congregation welcomes visitors with a spirit of Aloha and does its best to ensure that everyone is comfortable and feels at home.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
