Support Cantor Kliger's Vision
Music sets the tone and rhythm for our Jewish lives. Joyous when we celebrate. Comforting when we are in need. Cantor Kliger’s vision is to elevate our musical and musical worship experiences at PTS by offering outstanding music more often, including a Shabbat band on the bimah twice a month, more frequent artists in residence, top-notch Purim Shpiels, and other interactive musical programs.
In honor of Cantor Kliger’s installation, show your support for Cantor Kliger’s vision by sponsoring music at PTS. Our goal is to raise $250,000. Here's an example of what your contribution can do:
| $100,000 | Sustain outstanding music at PTS | |
| $25,000 | One year of Shabbat bands or audio tech staffing | |
| $15,000 | Artist-in-residence for one weekend | |
| $5,000 | Special guest for an evening | |
| $1,800 | Shabbat band for two Friday nights | |
| $1,000 | Audio tech for a special program | |
| $500 | Staff for a rehearsal |
