Social Justice: There, Where We Live, That is Our Country – History & Ongoing Life of the Jewish Labour Bund
Sunday December 22, 2024 2:30pm - 3:45pm EST
507 - Hebrew Union College
There, where we live, that is our country – the history and ongoing life of the Jewish Labour Bund w/ Jeyn Levison
The General Jewish Labour Bund (the Bund) was founded in Vilna in 1897 and is still active today—a movement rooted in three pillars: socialism, doikayt (here-ness in Yiddish—the concept that Jews live and work in solidarity wherever we live); and yidishkayt (Yiddish language and secular Jewish culture).

In this four-part session, we will explore all three pillars, with a deeper focus on the doikayt and yidishkayt that also grounds Yiddish New York. We will explore and discuss what the Bund can offer us today, and what our history teaches us about the times we now live in.

Presenting Molly Crabapple (upcoming book: a history of the Jewish Labor Bund); the documentary film Bund: The Hope and the Past; the NYC and Melbourne chapters of the Bund (Maddan, Strawberry Leaf, Dvora Zylberman); and Josh Waletzky (teaching Yiddish Bundist songs throughout the week).

Session will be presented on site at Yiddish New York and online via Zoom. Masks required to attend this session.
