PESACH 5778 AT KMS

**Please remember to clean out your cubby at shul before Pesach**

ART IN LOBBY We now have a new addition to our lobby: A commissioned piece of art made specially for KMS to reflect the themes of our shul and to enhance the space. Thanks to Sharon Butler and Fran Wollner for initiating the project, to Liz Diament for taking the lead in working with the artist, and to Jackie Rozmaryn for hanging the frame.

In this fiber artwork by Susan Levi-Goerlich, the artist sought to convey a multi-level message of the essential values of community, light and hope. Beginning with the abstract flame imagery of the Ner Tamid on the right side of the piece, and continuing through the 18 individualized composition squares depicted in the work, the artist projects the concept of individuals bound together, enriched and strengthened by their communal whole. That is KMS.

STRATEGIC PLANNING Announcing KMS Uplifts, a strategic planning initiative focused on KMS core values: engagement, warmth, religious growth, financial stability and improved physical spaces. See page 2 for more information.
