Want to be a Shabbaton Sponsor?

We are looking for Sponsoring donors willing to contribute $180 per person or business to underwrite the costs of this wonderful community learning opportunity. The more sponsorships we have to meet programming costs, the greater the donation that can be made to the American Joint Distribution Committee to restore and maintain a Jewish cemetery in a once vibrant Jewish community. These communities, once bright lights of Jewish life, were snuffed out by the Nazis from 1939 to 1943.

As we rejoice with music and tradition, we can provide the dignity that once graced the hallowed ground of the Jewish Cemetery of Dubiecko, Poland, re-mark names for those who once had matzevot - grave stones - that now level the road to the San River, and where 160 innocent victims are buried in a mass grave.

All sponsors will be noted on all programs, promotional materials, and press releases. Sponsorship checks should be made out to:

FJCC Rabbi's Discretionary Fund: Dubiecko Cemetery Fund
And mailed with the name(s) as you would want it to appear in the program and advance releases to:
