YOU CAN HELP

Ticket sales alone will not cover the costs of putting on the Boston Jewish Music Festival. We need your help. Please make a tax-deductible donation to BJMF. Your generosity helps thousands of people, young and old, connect to their Jewishness through the power and creativity of Jewish music.

Here are just some ways you can help:

Light Your Divine Sparks for $100

Divine Sparks 2 CD live recording that captures the amazing spiritual and musical energy of our 2012 major event (featuring Frank London, Cantors Yaakov Lemmer, Aaron Bensoussan, Gaston Bogolmoni, Elias Rosemberg and rabbinical student Jessica Kate Meyer). These cd’s capture the soaring spirit and artistry that made this an unforgettable evening for everyone who was there. We thank the musicians for agreeing to make the recording available as a fundraiser for BJMF. This is a limited edition so act quickly.

Donate What You Can

BJMF is blessed to have supporters who have generously given from $10 to over $18,000. Each gift, whatever the amount, has a tangible, positive impact for the festival. Everything you give goes to celebrating, advocating, and presenting outstanding Jewish music.

Support at any level makes an enormous difference to us. But, this year, we are offering the following sponsor packages.

Congregational Memberships

Each year, a more congregations join the list of BJMF financial supporters. And each year, their donation helps make the festival possible, enabling us to reach more of our community and involve them in a profoundly Jewish experience. The cost of renting venues, paying artists, and planning events continues to climb; our staff of two has put together this Festival each year on a largely volunteer basis, and frankly, we’d welcome compensation for the long hours of work that makes it all come together. We hope your congregation believes that fostering the spread of outstanding Jewish culture is an important contribution to our community. If so, we hope you’ll consider the growing list offering congregational support.  

For temples with less than 200 families, we suggest a $180 partnership level. For synagogues with 400 or more families, we suggest $500. And for congregations with more than 750 families, we suggest a donation of $1000. Your synagogue, in turn, will be recognized in the BJMF keepsake program at the appropriate level. You can donate online at http://bostonjewishmusicfestival.org/donate/ or send a check made out to BJMF to Joey Baron, BJFM, 123 Gould Street, Needham, MA 02494. (Contributions are tax deductible: we are a 501(c)3 organization). If you would like to discuss the possibility further, please feel free to call us at (781) 883-2091.
