ISRAELI KIDDUSH
Make sure to stop by our new Israeli-style kiddush table. Every week this table will feature the kinds of delicious foods found at kiddushes all around Israel - and now at KMS, too! (after the 8:45 minyan). KMS is taking part in this nationwide initiative called “Think Israel – Buy
Israeli” spearheaded by ACHI (American Communities Helping Israel) and their project called KLEE which encourages shuls, schools, JCCs and families to buy Israeli products on a weekly basis and proudly display them as an act of solidarity, and as a way of keeping Israel in the forefront of our hearts and minds. We encourage you to do the same in your homes! BAR/BAT MITZVAH DATE RESERVATION POLICY
KMS has clarified the wording of our Bar/Bat Mitzvah Date Reservation Policy. Please click here to see the new policy wording. The clarified wording allows for first-come, first-served reservations to be made slightly more than three years in advance of a simcha. We strongly recommend that you click on this link and familiarize yourself with the policy well in advance of that time frame. This clarification does not impact reservations that have already been made. Please contact the office with any questions.
CONDOLENCES Condolences to our members Sabine & Chaim Himmelfarb on the loss of Sabine’s mother, Margot Schlesinger, z”l. Sabine will sit shiva in Kemp Mill at her home, 1126 Kersey Road, on Wednesday (Feb 14) only.
