Admission to this talkback is included with your purchase of a ticket to the March 9 performance of Golda's Balcony. 

The talkback on March 9 will feature Rabbi Marc Baker, President and CEO of Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston (CJP). At CJP, Marc leads the organization in its mission to inspire Jewish life and ignite positive change in Greater Boston, in Israel, and across the globe.

Under Marc’s leadership over the last four years, CJP has raised more than $200 million in annual support and $17 million in emergency funds for COVID-19 relief, humanitarian support for Ukraine, and immigrant and refugee crises.  Leading with compassion and integrity, Marc welcomes and encourages the inclusion of diverse voices and perspectives. He collaborates with leaders, volunteers, and community partners to advance CJP’s strategic priorities of caring for the most vulnerable, creating broad and deep engagement with Jewish life, enhancing connections to Israel and the Jewish People, and ensuring a thriving and sustainable Boston Jewish community.
