About the Series Thank you to the founding donors: The Haramati Family Anonymous Louis & Manette Mayberg Leah & Michael Bandler Mira & Ted Mordfin Deena & Benny Berkowitz Naomi Baum & Saul Newman One of KMS’ founding principles is “Commitment to the State of Israel.” Dinah and Rav Amnon zt”l Haramati have embodied Sharon & David Butler Jill & Kurt Pauly that commitment in their life stories, from teaching and Barbara & Mel Ciment Daniel & Daphna Raskas impacting the lives of over ten thousand students to graciously bringing their learning of and commitment to Tziyonut and Sarah & Richard Dine Jeanne & Jonathan Rosenberg Torah to KMS. Diane & Marc Engelhart Esther & Jack Rozmaryn

KMS has been blessed by their presence. Wherever they have Debi & Aryeh Furst Sharona & Leo Rozmaryn lived, the Haramatis have brought the history of Medinat Barbara & David Goldschlag Michelle & Jonathan Schneck Yisrael to life. Rav Amnon zt”l and Dinah Haramati lived and breathed Tziyonut, and they aimed to imbue us all with both Sue & Jacques Gorlin Julie & Yaakov Schorr a cognitive understanding of and an emotional connection to Felice & Michael Grunberger Sarah & Buddy Stern Israel as a core tenet in Jewish life. Cheryl & Ken Jacobson Sandi & Isi Teitelbaum The Haramatis have always been committed to Jewish Marsha & Yitz Kasdan Lori & Ed Tolchin redemption, rebirth and renewal. Just as Pesach marks the Erica & Barry Kolatch Joan & Joseph Vander Walde beginning of the Geulah and the return to Eretz Yisrael, the life of the Haramatis has been framed by the redemption of Robin & Michael Lauer Elana & Rabbi Weinberg Bnai Yisrael through the creation of Medinat Yisrael and the Donna & Jeffrey Lawrence Shanna & Gary Winters teaching of Torat Yisrael. Rav Haramati’s life can be framed by his passing before Pesach, the chag when we celebrate the first Ahava & Ephraim Leibtag Fran & George Wollner redemption, and Yom Ha’atzmaut, the chag when we celebrate Ina & Larry Lerman the heroism of the Haramatis and others who founded Medinat Yisrael.

KMS is excited to be continuing their legacy through a special lecture series between Shabbat HaGadol and Yom Ha’atzmaut/ Yom Yerushalayim, focused on “MiGola LeGeula.” To donate to the Educational Series visit www.kmsynagogue.org KMS is grateful for this opportunity to honor the life’s work Kemp Mill Synagogue of the Haramatis and imbue our community with an enduring 11910 Kemp Mill Road, Silver Spring, MD 20902 commitment to Torat Eretz Yisrael and Medinat Yisrael.
