Your 2020-21 membership dues (Sept. 1, 2021- Aug. 31, 2022) are an essential part of the funding that allows the American Society for Jewish Music to continue to operate. Membership dues support the annual Chanukah Concert and our contemporary concert Music in Our Time, among others during the season. The sessions of the Jewish Music Forum, both at home and "On the Road" are also supported by dues from members. And, importantly, the information and access we provide without charge to the St. Petersburg Score Collection, the Charlie Bernhaut Collection of Jewish and Cantorial Recordings, as well as a host of other activities and services which help keep Jewish music alive. You can join the Society, or to renew your membership online, or download the membership form and mail it in.
