For 4 years, Kumzits Everywhere has created free Jewish music events where Jews come together from all walks of life to make lifelong friendships and sing their hearts out to Hashem.  People who have experienced our Kumzitses tell me all the time how the experience fills a huge void, and for many it has become a need to attend.

There is one problem- There are many out there who are less fortunate and are unable to attend.  They may be sick and confined to a hospital bed, have a genetic disability and can’t leave their residence, or perhaps they are experiencing the difficulties of old age.  Whatever the hardship, these people need the connection even more than the rest of us, but they get much less of it.  I know someone in a nursing home right now and when I think of the amount of time they spend alone sitting on a bed with nothing to do, it makes me really sad.

I’ve said in the past, if Kumzits Everywhere doesn’t bring the kumzits to those who can’t come to us, it will all be a waste.  Please help us in sending musicians to the sick and elderly.  In many cases they have been forgotten and neglected.  Let’s heal their loneliness by showing that we love and care about them.

Each Kumzits costs $300.  All this money is paid to the musician(s) to cover their time and travel expenses.  The kumzits lasts 1 hour and in many cases may recur on a consistent basis.  Our aim for this campaign is to organize 1000 kumzitses.

Thank you for you time and contribution.  You have no idea the good you doing.

Sincerely,

Shlomo Mehlman

Campaign by
Kumzits Everywhere Bikur Cholim
NY, USA

My name is Shlomo Mehlman. I grew up in Silver Spring, MD and went to high school at the Yeshiva of Greater Washington. When I was 18 I moved to NY and attended Yeshiva University. I fell in love with New York and have lived here ever since. In 2015 I started a group called Old School Jewish Music. My aim was to make Onegs in Flatbush, NY on Friday night after Shabbos dinner for people to sing their hearts out while making new friends. Years later I wanted to add instruments to the events so I started a group called Kumzits Every Night. My aim was to create a platform where people can post about local kumzitses so there is something soulful to do every night of the week. Additionally, I organized and led free kumzitses once a week. Not long after I had started KEN I had achieved my goal. It wasn't enough, however. I felt bad for the people who didn't live in NY and didn't have their own kumzits community, so I started Kumzits Everywhere. The new aim was to build kumzits communities around the world. Today there are several- 5 Towns, Monsey, Lakewood, S. California, and S. Florida. I have been fortunate enough to lead kumzitses around the country, from my hometown Silver Spring, MD to Seattle, WA. In 2021 I realized the need to fund and grow Kumzitses Everywhere so I created Kumzits Everywhere, LLC, which is a multipurpose company ranging from audio/video production, kumzits music lessons, Photography (mostly for Jewish dating profiles), and of course making kumzitses and building kumzits communities. In 2022, Kumzits Everywhere, LLC introduced Shabbos Club, where my wife and I host 20 people in our house for Shabbos, so people always have a place to go and friends to spend shabbos with. Kumzits Everywhere has no intention of slowing down. Now it's time to bring the love to the sick and elderly. In fact, it's long overdue. Thanks for reading, Shlomo Mehlman Owner | Kumzits Everywhere, LLC
