The Israel Folkdance Festival of Boston was sprouted in 1977 based on the founders' wish to create a great thing by sharing. The Festival continues to be organized on a volunteer basis by the Board of the Directors and the performers. It is sponsored by Campus Activities Complex at MIT.

Every Festival is preceded by a free and open to the public dance and ice cream party held the night before, typically in the Newton or Brookline area.

The Board of Directors as of 2022 is:

  • David Beckman
  • Aaron Bental (né Beckman)
  • Janie Chefitz
  • Shira Frager
  • Susan Gruber
  • Ruth Leah Kahan
  • George Kirby
  • Alexis Maharam
  • Renee Myers
