Thank you to everyone who participated in our morning of Chesed in memory of Gordon Lederman, z”l, who initiated and led these Chesed days at our shul in the most inspiring way. Thank you to all who contrib-uted to a Shabbat dedicated to his memory. May his memory continue to be a blessing. Click here for a short video showing some highlights from Sunday morning’s activities.
The Mothers Day project is sold out and the feedback has been wonder-ful. We want to thank committee members: Fran Wollner, Judy Pollak, Nurite Rosin, Sandi Teitelbaum and volunteers Ahava Leibtag and Lori Tolchin for their excellent work on this project. Happy Mothers Day!
In these weeks between Pesach and Shavuot we are learning Rav Leibtag’s introductions to each of the five books of Chumash. This week we are studying his introduction to Sefer Vayikra.
1. Please click here for Rav Leibtag’s introductory shiur for Sefer Vayikra, which provides a good basic framework of how to learn the Sefer as a whole.
2. Then click here for a shiur under the heading of Parshat Acharei-Mot, which will tie all the different parts of Sefer Vayikra together into one theme.
Where to Do the Learning:
You are welcome to learn through these materials at home and/or join us in the KMS beit midrash 45 minutes before Mincha this Shabbat at 7:00pm where Jennifer Raskas will give a shiur on this learning.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
In an effort to promote the warm community feeling we strive for here at KMS, we introduce you to two KMS members each week. We hope you enjoy meeting your fellow members and will use these brief bios as a catalyst to introduce yourself to others at KMS.
YEHUDIT AND MEYER SHIELDS Yehudit and Meyer Shields
moved to Kemp Mill during
the Great Baltimore Migra-
tion of 2013. Yehudit –
born and bred in Baltimore
– is a licensed Occupational
Therapist who sells real
estate, working as a buyers’
agent for the (KMS mem-
ber!) Ciment Team, and
Meyer – who grew up on
the mean streets of Toron-
to – does equity research on insurance companies and hopes to one
day own a food truck with a brick oven (which is probably not legal,
never mind wise). Their children are starting to scatter: Eliana lives
and teaches in New York, starting graduate school in a few weeks; Zev
is studying art at the University of Maryland; and Netani and Daniella
are students at the Berman Hebrew Academy, which they occasionally
even attend. All of the Shieldses remain overwhelmed by the warmth
and welcoming culture at KMS, by Rabbi and Elana Weinberg’s strong
and positive leadership, the growing list of shiurim and other learning
opportunities.
PANINA AND JACOB LICHT Panina and Jacob Licht met during college in Chicago and moved to Kemp Mill 16 years ago after several years in St. Louis. Panina spent her youth in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin where she relished having the most Jewish-sounding name in the farm belt. Jacob grew up in Mary-land and migrated to the Midwest for college, graduate school, and to meet Panina. Together, they strive to maintain a relaxed, friendly, wholesome Midwestern ethos. Panina and Jacob recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with their three daughters Hudi, Ayelet and Miriam. Hudi just finished her sophomore year in college and the twins are
currently in ninth grade at Berman and Sulam. While they believe their aufruf might have been the first one held at KMS, they have photographic evidence that Rabbi Bieler was their mesader kiddushin. Jacob’s parents were among KMS’ founding generation. Panina is a science educator who teaches and is the Administrator at Ashreinu Educational Programs, and is also a Chemistry and Biology whisperer for high school students. Jacob works on the business-side of the biotech industry, focus-ing on transactions and corporate strategy. The Licht family is fond of KMS’ community-driven vibe and its commitment to
special needs inclusion. They enjoy hearing drashot from both the Rabbi and their
fellow community members. Panina has served on the KMS Board and chaired the
Hospitality Committee, Jacob has served as Education VP and Treasurer, and they
believe their greatest contribution to KMS is the joint leadership of their Kiddush
Committee. Miriam can occasionally be heard quieting the crowd in the social hall
for Rabbi Weinberg to make kiddush.
