Second Report from the AJ-KI Consolidation Committee The AJ-KI Consolidation Committee was formed to develop a plan for the consolidation of Louisville’s two Conservative congregations. The Committee, made up of an equal number of members from each congregation, is planning to present its final report to the congregations by June 30, 2008. Meetings with congregants of both shuls will take place prior to the completion of the final report in order to receive input and suggestions. The Committee continues to meet every Wednesday with subcommittees meeting regularly and reporting back to the main Committee. The staffs of both congregations were able to adjust schedules and have the mid-month newsletters mailed on the same day. Yashar Koach to them. They have also deftly fielded many requests for information from our subcommittees. Development of the final report will be based on certain joint assumptions agreed upon by the boards of each congregation. Those assumptions include that (a) the board of trustees and major committees of the new entity will be made up of equal numbers of congregants from both shuls, (b) Rabbi Slosberg and Cantor Lipp will retain their present positions, and (c) there will be a new name for the new shul. At this point in time the plans to renovate the AJ building have been put on hold and KI is proceeding with its plans to hire an interim Rabbi and an interim Cantor for a period of up to one year. Regardless of any long term decisions about consolidation, there will be no changes in the preschools through the 2008-09 school year.
