We will celebrate Lag BaOmer, the 33rd day of the Omer, with our annual kumsitz, on Memorial Day, Monday, May 27, in the BEKI courtyard. The folk-custom is to sing around a campfire at a “kumsitz,” meaning “come” and “sit.” We’ll sing niggunim—which have no words—as well as traditional American songs and Jewish songs from our song sheets, led by Max DuBoff. Come to sing and to roast a marshmallow for your s’mores.

In case of rain, check the BEKI website or email president@beki.org for an update. If necessary, we will delay the kumsitz until the next evening.
