Just before yuntif arrives on Sunday, April 28, you are invited to “Stories of Liberation,” an in-person Moth story night at BEKI, with host Paul Bass.

The program will follow the model of the Moth Radio Hour. The Moth, founded in 1997 by the writer George Dawes Green, gets its name from his memories of growing up in St. Simons Island, Ga., where neighbors would gather on a friend's porch to tell stories as moths flew in through the broken screens and circled the porch light.

The series, whose motto is “Moth stories are true, as remembered by the storyteller” debuted in 2009 and is aired on more than 500 public radio stations nationwide.

BEKI’s program, with engaging stories by several BEKI members, will end with a quick Maariv service around 7:30 pm.
