Monday evening May 8 is Lag BaOmer, the 33rd day of the Omer. The folk-custom is to sing around a campfire at a “kumsitz,” meaning “come” and “sit.” We will gather at 7:30 pm in the BEKI courtyard. We’ll sing niggunim—which have no words—as well as traditional American songs and Jewish songs, led by Max DuBoff. We’ll have paper song sheets and (kosher fair trade) s'mores. Check the BEKI website for song sheets and recordings of the songs. The raindate will be Tuesday evening May 9. If the weather is uncertain, check the BEKI website or email president@beki.org for an update.
