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:

The Secret Of Our Souls – A Kabalistic Love Story is a new musical drama set in the midst of the political and religious turmoil of eighteenth century Poland. The play is based on the life of the great Jewish spiritual master known as the Baal Shem Tov (Master of the Holy Name) and his wife, Chana, as known through legends and stories passed down to us about them. It depicts the origin of the Chassidic movement that brought the mystical treasures of Judaism and the Kaballah within reach of the common man. The drama culminates in an epic battle between the cosmic forces of good and evil for the soul of the Baal Shem Tov.
About the Authors:

They wrote the landmark ballet Caviar, which was performed by Louis Falco and his dance company at The New York Shakespeare Festival in Central Park and at the Ante Theater on Broadway.

The Secret Of Our Souls – A Kabalistic Love Story is a new musical drama set in the midst of the political and religious turmoil of eighteenth century Poland. The play is based on the life of the great Jewish spiritual master known as the Baal Shem Tov (Master of the Holy Name) and his wife, Chana, as known through legends and stories passed down to us about them. It depicts the origin of the Chassidic movement that brought the mystical treasures of Judaism and the Kaballah within reach of the common man. The drama culminates in an epic battle between the cosmic forces of good and evil for the soul of the Baal Shem Tov.
About the Authors:
Ben Goldstein and Phillip Namanworth have been writing songs together since they met in college. They wrote the landmark ballet Caviar, which was performed by Louis Falco and his dance company at The New York Shakespeare Festival in Central Park and at the Ante Theater on Broadway. They are the authors of the award-winning musicals Looice and The Adventures of Guess Again, which were performed at the Eugene O’Neill Conference and The Public Theatre and ran for ten years in repertory with The First all Children’s Theatre. They have written more than thirty songs for Sesame Street. Their songs have sold millions of copies and been heard in countries throughout the world.
