Ahava ‘Āina: Healing Our Community

We will address the long-term mental and emotional effects of Puna residents impacted by the 2018 Kīlauea eruption through a series of talk stories and wellness events led by social workers and faith leaders.
Founded and led by Rabbi Rachel Ahava ‘Aina is a 501c3 nonprofit.


Our mission is: Tikun Olam – To heal the world, be of service, share Jewish culture and tradition with our community and all beings, and establish the first Jewish Community Center and Synagogue on the Big Island of Hawai’i, in oneness and love, for the highest good of all.
