Kol Yisrael and Beacon Hebrew Alliance are proud to present a special tribute concert honoring the life and legacy of Pete Seeger on Sunday, May 3rd at 1 PM at Kol Yisrael campus. This afternoon of music and community will celebrate Seeger’s enduring impact as a folk icon, environmental advocate, and champion for social justice.

The concert will feature acclaimed musician David Bernz, a longtime collaborator of Pete Seeger and member of the Hudson River Sloop Singers. Bernz brings both authenticity and heartfelt connection to this tribute, performing beloved songs that have inspired generations to sing, reflect, and take action. There will be a special emphasis on folk songs for children

In the spirit of Seeger’s lifelong commitment to environmental stewardship, 10% of all proceeds will be donated to Hudson River Sloop Clearwater (Clearwater), the organization he co-founded to protect and preserve the Hudson River.

The Jewish Federation of Greater Orange County has an unforgettable evening on May 31st with bestselling author and political commentator Molly Jong-Fast , in conversation about her acclaimed memoir How to Lose Your Mother: A Daughter’s Memoir.

With signature wit and unflinching honesty, Jong-Fast shares a deeply personal story of family, fame, and the complicated bonds between mothers and daughters. The book explores love, loss, and the emotional realities of caregiving amid illness and aging. Both heartbreaking and darkly funny, this memoir offers a powerful, relatable reflection on what it means to grow up, let go, and redefine family. 

Join us for an evening of conversation, insight, and connection—where literature meets life, and no topic is off limits.
