BETH & JACK LICHY
Beth and Jack Lichy are originally from NY and met in graduate school at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. They became KMS members in 2000. Jack is the Chief of Pathol-ogy at the VA Hospital in DC. Beth worked in the KMS shul office for 13 years and is cur-rently a lactation consultant (IBCLC) at Sibley Memorial Hospital. Beth and Jack are the parents of Esther, David, z"l and Jesse. The Lichys are thrilled to be living just a few blocks away from grandson David Lindell, and his parents Esther and Yosef who are also KMS members. Jesse is a graduate of UMD, and has been working at NIH and getting his
pilot's license. The David Lichy Kollel Library at MJHBA memorializes our son who had just finished sixth grade when he passed away. Beth co-founded a national breastfeeding organization, Breastfeeding USA, and leads a free moms' group which meets at Holy Cross Resource Center. She enjoys reading and studying Jewish texts. Jack has been a fan of classical music dating back to his days playing the violin in his high school orchestra. He also enjoys keeping our garden deer-free and taking walks with our dog, Lexi. Beth has served on several KMS committees and is currently co-Chair of the Seuda Shlishit Committee. The Lichys chaired a Kiddush Committee for over ten years. Beth is grateful for the years she spent learning from Rabbi Bieler and appreciative of the excitement Rabbi Weinberg has brought to the shul community. The Lichys appreciate the many educa-tional activities available at KMS and have enjoyed seeing the shul's growth and development over the years.
NECHUMAH & AARON WERBEL Nechumah and Aaron made their way to Kemp Mill from Baltimore and Ann Arbor, respectively, via Washing-ton DC, Italy and Annapolis, being joined by Eliana and Mollie along the way. After a long career in govern-ment consulting, Nechumah moved to the non-profit world.
