Dear Friends,
We are excited to introduce the new KSYM Vaad for the 2024 calendar year. See our new Vaad members, below (and reach out and say hi:)
We are looking forward to building on the successful Vaad leadership of previous years, and helping create a vibrant, engaged, and learned community.
We want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the outgoing Vaad members, Dov Katz, Dov Einhorn and Corinne Berzon for their hard work and dedication over their respective terms on the Vaad, and their exceptional leadership over the past three years.
Finally, if you have anything you want to discuss, please just reach out to me and the rest of the Vaad at our new, shared email address - members@ksym.org.il.

 Adina Cutler, Eventsadina.cutler@ksym.org.il An olah vatika and long-time Modiin resident, Adina is the proud mother of Aderet and Gavriel and this is her third year on the shul Vaad. Adina works in legal marketing and misses performing with Women In Theater. She would love to hear from those of you with ideas for events, youth programming or chessed initiatives. The success of these programs depends on volunteers. Please be in touch if you would like to organize shul programs and committees, such as the events and youth committees, mishloach manot, holiday parties (PG!), kids/teen events, and adult social activities (yes, even during times of social distancing). |

Moshe joined our community in 2015 when he made Aliyah to Modiin with his wife, Frances, and 5 children. As CIO of a US-based fashion company (where he’s worked for the last 24 years), Moshe’s career focus has been technology. In his “spare time” he serves as a volunteer police officer and unit head with the Modiin Police, as a volunteer firefighter and deputy unit head with the Modiin Fire Dept, and as an EMT, crew chief, and ambulance driver with United Hatzalah. He was active in his former community in Brooklyn, serving on various community and school boards and organizations and is eager to do all he can for our shul as a member of the Vaad.. |
