We are excited to announce the opening of the Kfeirian Swag Store!
The Kfeirian Reunion Foundation relies heavily on the generosity of our members to support and maintain our programs. We provide college scholarships to Kfeirian students, food boxes to those in need living in Kfeir, Lebanon and support to ensure our goal to continue our annual Kfeirian Reunions to reach 100 years and beyond. If you have donated to the Kfeirian Reunion recently, please accept our sincere thanks. We are grateful to have you as part of our family.

On behalf of the Kfreirian Reunion Foundation, welcome to the Kfeir.com website.
This website contains a wealth of knowledge of the heritage of our families who immigrated from the village of Kfeir, Lebanon to the United States of America. Please feel free to browse through the various pages of our history, past reunions, recipes and many other family related documents and stories.
Our heritage has bound us together. My grandparents, Kallel and Emily Bassett, came to this country in the late 1920’s looking for opportunity to build a life in the free world. They did not speak English and they came to Ellis Island, NY on a ship not knowing what lay ahead but they were determined to follow their dreams, as did so many of our relatives. I have always admired their bravery in making such a big move.
Memories of my childhood center around getting together on weekends with our extended family and socializing, listening to Arabic music and sometimes dancing in our homes. It is very evident that we are a social people and I cannot imagine my life growing up without being surrounded by so many family members. It is not surprising that the founders of our Reunion created the Kfeirian Reunion officially in 1932 so that we can have a special weekend to spend with each other on a yearly basis.
We have just celebrated our 91st Kfeirian Reunion and as I attend each year, I am overwhelmed with the experience and love that I feel being together and sharing our lives. From discussing our ancestry and how we are related, to eating wonderful Lebanese food and dancing to live Arabic music, we celebrate the common bond that we were all born and raised into, so many miles from our homeland.
We are on our way to celebrating 100 years of our heritage and I look forward to meeting more and more of my cousins in the years to come!
