Linker Leyenkrayz (Radical Reading Group)
The Workers Circle (formerly the Workmen's Circle/Arbeter Ring) has a long history in the Jewish labor movement. While it was historically connected to the socialist movement, did you know that it also had two dozen anarchist branches? And that those branches existed not only in the United States, where the organization was based, but also in Canada and England? Join Workers Circle Yiddish Culture and Social Justice Organizer Yasha Giner for a special collaborative program with @RadYiddish to discuss these forgotten radicals and what their approaches to social justice and community organizing can teach us today!

Five curious little gefiltes are sneaking out of their jar and heading for New York City, much to Mama Gefilte's dismay! And this month they're arriving in America for real. We're thrilled to be part of the American premiere week of Gefiltlekh finf (Five Little Gefiltes). It's a lively new Yiddish-language animated short, adapted from Dave Horowitz's picture book. As the gefiltes go on their big-city adventures, each sibling shows what it means to act with integrity and good character.
