January 2022 In Person Services Cancelled

Due to the high rate of Covid-19 infections we are currently experiencing in Hawaii, we are cancelling in person services planned for January. The Temple Reopening Committee will continue to monitor Covid-19 infection rates, along with CDC, federal and state health recommendations on a monthly basis, and will resume in person services when it is safe to do so.

We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we try to balance the need for in person services with the health and safety of all of our members.
