Yom Ha’Atzmaut Kumzitz

Come together in celebration of Israel’s Independence Day with an uplifting Kumzitz led by Cantor Luis Cattan, accompanied by the incredible Shai Bachar & Dan Nadel.

Sing, connect, and immerse yourself in the soulful melodies of Israel as we mark this special occasion with music and community spirit.

A "kumzitz" (קומזיץ) is a Yiddish-derived Hebrew word meaning "come, sit down" and refers to a social gathering, often an evening event, where people sit together, sing, and share stories.
