Its fourth building, located on Holmes Road, was designed by Kivett and Myers architects in the Modernist style, considered "striking for its exterior profile and massing and its combination of natural and industrial forms to create an appearance rooted in both primeval nature and futuristic design."[3] Completed and dedicated in 1967, it was demolished after the congregation relocated to Overland Park in 2000.[3][4]
The senior rabbi is Stephanie Kramer, the rabbi is Caitlim Brazner and Rabbi Rachel Rothstein, and the rabbi emeritus is Arthur P. Nemitoff.[2]
