SUMMARY:Yiddish Culture & The Jewish Labor Movement: 1880s-1960s
DESCRIPTION:In this course we will explore the history of Jewish labor activism in the United States and its relationship to Yiddish culture. We will engage questions such as: How did Jewish Socialists and Communists relate to their Jewish identity? How did they think about Americanization and assimilation? What role did Yiddish culture play in Socialist and Communist organizing? How did Jewish identity and Yiddish culture interact with broader efforts toward anti-racism and multiculturalism? And how does this history help us navigate the present of Jewish and Anti-Racist organizing work? Beginning with the early Jewish labor movement in the 1880s and ending with New Left activism of the 1960s\, this four session course will take us through the salient turning points of Jewish labor history in the United States and how Jews navigated these pressing questions of identity\, community\, and social justice at different historical moments.\n\n\n\n\nMore Information and Registration Here!

SUMMARY:Rally in Support of Ceasefire in Israel/Palestine at City Hall Plaza
DESCRIPTION:RSVP here to join us at City Hall Plaza in Boston on Wednesday\, October 18 to mourn for the dead\, and fight for the living–both Israelis and Palestinians.  \nThis is a Jewish-led action\, sponsored by IfNotNow and co-sponsored by Boston Workers Circle and Kavod. \nWe welcome and encourage our non-Jewish allies to join us.  \n————————————————————– \n \n“No electricity\, no food\, no water\, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals\, and we act accordingly.” This promise\, from Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant\, is a direct call for mass killing and forced removal of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes.  \nThe Israeli military is preparing for a massive ground invasion of Gaza. Israeli and American leaders are dehumanizing Palestinians with vitriolic rhetoric that calls to mind the most hysterical days of Bush’s War on Terror. We know where this will lead: genocide. \nOur Massachusetts Senators and every American political leader must demand a ceasefire now. \nMany of us are mourning our Israeli and Palestinian friends and loved ones. We are in pain and grief\, trying to process a week of horrific violence that has left so many that we know injured\, traumatized\, kidnapped\, or killed. But we refuse to let our grief be weaponized to justify the murder of more Palestinians. As American Jews\, we demand a ceasefire now. \nNo genocide in our name.  \nThe time is now to mobilize to prevent this genocide from going forward. We demand that every political leader use their leverage to implement a ceasefire and use any possible tool to force Israel to halt its war on Palestinians in Gaza. \nRSVP here for more information\, and meet us at 4pm at City Hall Plaza on Wednesday\, October 18th.

DESCRIPTION:Celia Dropkin (1887-1956) is a dynamic writer whose work is exciting\, intense and confronting. Best known for her fierce and intimate poetry\, Dropkin brings the same bold\, unflinching voice to her short stories. Dropkin’s stories take the reader deep under the skins of sharply drawn characters\, casting a critical gaze on the settings and social circumstances that they encounter. In this course\, we will read a selection of Dropkin’s short stories in the original Yiddish\, and will discuss the themes\, characters\, contexts and stylistics of these works. \nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:Strategic Planning Community Coversation
DESCRIPTION:Over the summer\, BWC began a strategic planning process to help us co-create a shared vision for where our community is headed as we set new 3-year strategic priorities. Our new strategic priorities need to be shaped by the many perspectives within our community. To make that happen\, we need to hear from you! \nAll BWC members are invited to join the strategic planning committee for an update on the strategic planning process\, a presentation on themes that came up in this summer’s environmental scan (which included an all member survey and interviews with members\, partners\, and staff)\, and a discussion on what you would like to see the organization focus on in the next 3 years. We need your voice in the mix as we write our next chapter together\, so keep an eye on your email for when we send out further information to all BWC members. Not yet a member? Join today!

SUMMARY:Neighborhood Tashlikh
DESCRIPTION:Everyone welcome\, children & families\, especially! \nTASHLIKH — (You shall cast away) is based on biblical passages – most notably from Micah (7:9) “You will hurl all of our sins into the depths of the sea”. The traditional word for “sin” is “khet”.  A more modern translation goes back to the original meaning of “khet” from archery — “to miss the mark”. \nWe throw pebbles into the water to represent our “sins” and those burdens\, regrets\, disappointments\, old thinking\, missed opportunities\, excuses\, or rationalizations that interfere with our living full lives. At the same time\, we embrace hope to do better and set our intentions on hitting our marks in the coming year. \nWhat to throw? We suggest bringing pebbles to throw because bread\, even challah\, is not good for the ducks and geese. \nDetails will be shared closer to the holiday! \nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:Circle Book Group
DESCRIPTION:This is an open group that welcomes all readers interested in expanding their understanding of the wide variety of Jewish experiences throughout history and across the world. The Zoom information for this meeting will be shared closer to the event via email. To make sure you’re on the Book Group email list\, contact the Circle Book Group committee co-chairs at bookgroup@circleboston.org Click here to learn more\, see our current book of the month\, and view books we’ve read in the past. To make a donation for the Book Group\, visit this page. \nThis month we are reading East West Street by Philippe Sands.  \nAbout the book:A profound\, important book\, a moving personal detective story and an uncovering of secret pasts\, set in Europe’s center\, the city of bright colors—Lviv\, Ukraine\, dividing east from west\, north from south\, in what had been the Austro-Hungarian Empire. \nA book that explores the development of the world-changing legal concepts of “genocide” and “crimes against humanity” that came about as a result of the unprecedented atrocities of Hitler’s Third Reich. \nIt is also a spellbinding family memoir\, as the author traces the mysterious story of his grandfather as he maneuvered through Europe in the face of Nazi atrocities. This is “a monumental achievement …  told with love\, anger and precision” (John le Carré\, acclaimed internationally bestselling author). \nEast West Street looks at the personal and intellectual evolution of the two men who simultaneously originated the ideas of “genocide” and “crimes against humanity\,” both of whom\, not knowing the other\, studied at the same university with the same professors\, in “the Paris of Ukraine\,” a major cultural center of Europe\, a city variously called Lemberg\, Lwów\, Lvov\, or Lviv.

SUMMARY:Antisemitism: Reclaiming the conversation
DESCRIPTION:6 sessions | April: 20\, 27\, May: 4\, 11\,18\, 25\nThursdays 7:00-8:30 PM ET | HYBRID\nAs we navigate a world with rising white nationalism\, antisemitism\, and threats to democracy\, it can be difficult to distinguish real threats from fear tactics.

SUMMARY:Building Secular Life Cycle Rituals
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a workshop to examine the role of life cycle rituals in supporting our secular community. How can we support each other at significant points in our lives\, both happy and sad? What can we learn from Jewish traditions? How can we build community-wide involvement and infrastructure to make ritual a regular part of our individual and communal lives?  \nYou will learn about the role of ritual in the lives of BWC members and have the opportunity to experiment with crafting your own rituals. You are welcome if you are interested in the role of ritual in a secular community or have expertise in ritual development or facilitation.  \nThis is a one-time workshop which will lead to the formation of a group of BWC members/leaders committed to making life-cycle rituals an active part of our community life. \nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:Advanced Brenendike Verter: Yidishe Dikhterins In Ukraine Nokh Der Revolutsye
DESCRIPTION:Level: The class is suited to advanced speakers and readers of Yiddish including students in past advanced BWC Yiddish classes.. We will discuss the poems and poets in Yiddish\, in a supportive environment that encourages each person to speak Yiddish freely and fearlessly to the best of their ability. \nMaterials:  Provided by instructor.   \nInstructor: Hinde Ena Burstin \nAvantgarde Yiddish women poets were trailblazers in the development of secular Yiddish literature in post-revolution Ukraine. The daring themes and imagery of many of their poems signified a fiery break with the restrictions of the past. In this course\, we will read a selection of these poems\, and will discuss the themes and stylistics\, as well as the biographical\, sociohistorical and literary contexts of the poems. We will explore ways that these poets transgressed gendered expectations in their subversive verse. \nברענענדיקע ווערטער: ייִדישע דיכטערינס אין אוקראַינע נאָך דער רעװאָלוציע \nייִדישע דיכטערינס האָבן קרעפֿטיק גענומען דאָס וואָרט אין אוקראַינע אין דער נאָך-רעוואָלוציע \nתּקופֿה. זיי האָבן זיך אויסגעצייכנט מיט די באַזונדערקייטן פֿון זייערע טעמעס און בילדער\, און \nמיט זייערע שעפֿערישע שפּילערײַען מיט ווערטער און קלאַנגען. זייערע אָריגינעלע לידער זײַנען \nאַ וויכטיקער צושטײַער צו דער אַנטוויקלונג פֿון וועלטלעכער ייִדישער ליטעראַטור. \nמיר וועלן צוזאַמען לייענען די פֿלאַמיקע פֿערזן פֿון פֿאַרשיידענע דינאַמישע דיכטערינס\, און וועלן \nאַרומרעדן די טײַטשן\, טעמעס און סטיליסטיק פֿון די לידער\, און די קאָנטעקסטן אין וועלכע די \nלידער זײַנען דערשינען.

SUMMARY:Antisemitism: Reclaiming the conversation
DESCRIPTION:6 sessions | April: 20\, 27\, May: 4\, 11\,18\, 25\nThursdays 7:00-8:30 PM ET | HYBRID\nAs we navigate a world with rising white nationalism\, antisemitism\, and threats to democracy\, it can be difficult to distinguish real threats from fear tactics. This course is to help discern our path for building Jewish safety and a vision for a multi-racial\, multi-ethnic\, multi-cultural world\, as well as being able to identify what impedes and divides us\, both currently and historically. \nOver six sessions\, a range of outstanding speakers and facilitators will teach the history of antisemitism and its connections to other forms of oppression\, as well as how we can take action to fight antisemitism rooted in our progressive values. \nCourse sessions: \n\n4/20 – “From Anti-Judaism and Anti-Semitism: Is There a Difference?” with Dr. Shaul Magid\n4/27 – “Antisemitism and White Christian Nationalism” with Ben Lorber of Political Research Associates\n5/4 – “A Black Jewish Perspective on Fighting Racism and Antisemitism” with Rebecca Pierce\n5/11 – “How has Antisemitism divided our movements for Justice in the US?” led by Sophie Ellman-Golan\n5/18 – “Antisemitism and Israel/Palestine” led by Emma Saltzberg from Diaspora Alliance\n5/25 – Facilitated Reflection + integration\n\nEach class will also include a 15 minute schmooze period at 6:45 before the class begins. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:1for3 Speaks at Palestine Solidarity & Jewish-Muslim Solidarity Joint Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Tuesday\, April 11th at 7:15-8:45 pm on Zoom for a special joint meeting of the BWC IPC Palestine Solidarity Committee and the Jewish Muslim Solidarity Committee! We’ll be hearing about 1for3.org‘s exciting plans to expand early childhood education in the UN-run Aida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem\, Palestine. The Boston Workers Circle has had a long relationship with 1for3.org\, a Massachusetts-based non-profit that focuses on four primary challenges in the lives of Palestinian refugees: Water – Food – Health – Education. In past years\, BWC has participated in 1for3’s Walk for Water\, raising money and awareness about the critical impact of the occupation on the need for water and the inequitable distribution of water in Israel/Palestine. Right now our friends are asking us to support early childhood education in the Aida Camp by fundraising for the Expansion of the Zahrat Al-Yasmeen Kindergarten. Nidal Al-Azraq\, executive director of 1for3\, and Katherine Hanna\, founder of the kindergarten program\, will join us to share more about their plans to add a third classroom. We’ll learn about the kindergarten’s innovative inclusive\, play-based and trauma-informed curriculum\, which provides a space “where children can be children” and find joy\, hope\, and healing amidst the harshness of the occupation. So please\, come listen\, learn\, and help BWC support this important and wonderful effort! Register here.

SUMMARY:Advanced Brenendike Verter: Yidishe Dikhterins In Ukraine Nokh Der Revolutsye
DESCRIPTION:Level: The class is suited to advanced speakers and readers of Yiddish including students in past advanced BWC Yiddish classes.. We will discuss the poems and poets in Yiddish\, in a supportive environment that encourages each person to speak Yiddish freely and fearlessly to the best of their ability. \nMaterials:  Provided by instructor.   \nInstructor: Hinde Ena Burstin \nAvantgarde Yiddish women poets were trailblazers in the development of secular Yiddish literature in post-revolution Ukraine. The daring themes and imagery of many of their poems signified a fiery break with the restrictions of the past. In this course\, we will read a selection of these poems\, and will discuss the themes and stylistics\, as well as the biographical\, sociohistorical and literary contexts of the poems. We will explore ways that these poets transgressed gendered expectations in their subversive verse. \nברענענדיקע ווערטער: ייִדישע דיכטערינס אין אוקראַינע נאָך דער רעװאָלוציע \nייִדישע דיכטערינס האָבן קרעפֿטיק גענומען דאָס וואָרט אין אוקראַינע אין דער נאָך-רעוואָלוציע \nתּקופֿה. זיי האָבן זיך אויסגעצייכנט מיט די באַזונדערקייטן פֿון זייערע טעמעס און בילדער\, און \nמיט זייערע שעפֿערישע שפּילערײַען מיט ווערטער און קלאַנגען. זייערע אָריגינעלע לידער זײַנען \nאַ וויכטיקער צושטײַער צו דער אַנטוויקלונג פֿון וועלטלעכער ייִדישער ליטעראַטור. \nמיר וועלן צוזאַמען לייענען די פֿלאַמיקע פֿערזן פֿון פֿאַרשיידענע דינאַמישע דיכטערינס\, און וועלן \nאַרומרעדן די טײַטשן\, טעמעס און סטיליסטיק פֿון די לידער\, און די קאָנטעקסטן אין וועלכע די \nלידער זײַנען דערשינען.

SUMMARY:Voter Rights Phone Banking
DESCRIPTION:Join Boston Workers Circle and Workers Circle National for weekly Wednesday evening phonebanks! The Wisconsin Supreme Court election will be held in April. Recently\, the Wisconsin Supreme Court outlawed absentee dropboxes in a state that already has very restrictive Voter ID requirements\, making it harder for Black\, low-income citizens to cast their ballots. Join us as we call Black voters in Milwaukee to provide crucial information they need to vote in a race that will impact voting rights\, abortion rights\, and democracy for years to come. No experience is necessary and you can make calls from anywhere. \nWe phonebank in partnership with the Center for Common Ground\, a people of color-led organization that fights voter suppression and empowers underserved communities to connect voters of color with the information they need to vote by mail and to vote early in person. Our calls support on-the-ground efforts to reach Black voters by the NAACP\, Black Voters Matter\, and Mi Familia Vota. \nSign up here.

SUMMARY:Voter Rights Phone Banking
DESCRIPTION:Join Boston Workers Circle and Workers Circle National for weekly Wednesday evening phonebanks! The Wisconsin Supreme Court election will be held in April. Recently\, the Wisconsin Supreme Court outlawed absentee dropboxes in a state that already has very restrictive Voter ID requirements\, making it harder for Black\, low-income citizens to cast their ballots. Join us as we call Black voters in Milwaukee to provide crucial information they need to vote in a race that will impact voting rights\, abortion rights\, and democracy for years to come. No experience is necessary and you can make calls from anywhere. \nWe phonebank in partnership with the Center for Common Ground\, a people of color-led organization that fights voter suppression and empowers underserved communities to connect voters of color with the information they need to vote by mail and to vote early in person. Our calls support on-the-ground efforts to reach Black voters by the NAACP\, Black Voters Matter\, and Mi Familia Vota. \nSign up here.

SUMMARY:Advanced Brenendike Verter: Yidishe Dikhterins In Ukraine Nokh Der Revolutsye
DESCRIPTION:Level: The class is suited to advanced speakers and readers of Yiddish including students in past advanced BWC Yiddish classes.. We will discuss the poems and poets in Yiddish\, in a supportive environment that encourages each person to speak Yiddish freely and fearlessly to the best of their ability. \nMaterials:  Provided by instructor.   \nInstructor: Hinde Ena Burstin \nAvantgarde Yiddish women poets were trailblazers in the development of secular Yiddish literature in post-revolution Ukraine. The daring themes and imagery of many of their poems signified a fiery break with the restrictions of the past. In this course\, we will read a selection of these poems\, and will discuss the themes and stylistics\, as well as the biographical\, sociohistorical and literary contexts of the poems. We will explore ways that these poets transgressed gendered expectations in their subversive verse. \nברענענדיקע ווערטער: ייִדישע דיכטערינס אין אוקראַינע נאָך דער רעװאָלוציע \nייִדישע דיכטערינס האָבן קרעפֿטיק גענומען דאָס וואָרט אין אוקראַינע אין דער נאָך-רעוואָלוציע \nתּקופֿה. זיי האָבן זיך אויסגעצייכנט מיט די באַזונדערקייטן פֿון זייערע טעמעס און בילדער\, און \nמיט זייערע שעפֿערישע שפּילערײַען מיט ווערטער און קלאַנגען. זייערע אָריגינעלע לידער זײַנען \nאַ וויכטיקער צושטײַער צו דער אַנטוויקלונג פֿון וועלטלעכער ייִדישער ליטעראַטור. \nמיר וועלן צוזאַמען לייענען די פֿלאַמיקע פֿערזן פֿון פֿאַרשיידענע דינאַמישע דיכטערינס\, און וועלן \nאַרומרעדן די טײַטשן\, טעמעס און סטיליסטיק פֿון די לידער\, און די קאָנטעקסטן אין וועלכע די \nלידער זײַנען דערשינען.

SUMMARY:Voter Rights Phone Banking
DESCRIPTION:Join Boston Workers Circle and Workers Circle National for weekly Wednesday evening phonebanks! The Wisconsin Supreme Court election will be held in April. Recently\, the Wisconsin Supreme Court outlawed absentee dropboxes in a state that already has very restrictive Voter ID requirements\, making it harder for Black\, low-income citizens to cast their ballots. Join us as we call Black voters in Milwaukee to provide crucial information they need to vote in a race that will impact voting rights\, abortion rights\, and democracy for years to come. No experience is necessary and you can make calls from anywhere. \nWe phonebank in partnership with the Center for Common Ground\, a people of color-led organization that fights voter suppression and empowers underserved communities to connect voters of color with the information they need to vote by mail and to vote early in person. Our calls support on-the-ground efforts to reach Black voters by the NAACP\, Black Voters Matter\, and Mi Familia Vota. \nSign up here.

SUMMARY:AFREJ Learning for Action Series
DESCRIPTION:As we mark the 60 year anniversary since the Boston Workers Circle moved from Dorchester to Brookline\, the Acting For Racial and Economic Justice Committee (AFREJ) will are leading a Learning For Action series around the book\, The Death of an American Jewish Community: A Tragedy of Good Intentions. \nIn the past few years\, we in AFREJ have been learning about reparations and participating in reparative actions. As well\, we’ve co-sponsored workshops for the Ujima Fund\, a solidarity economy project led by working-class people of color that works to build political and economic power in Dorchester\, Roxbury\, Mattapan\, and Jamaica Plain. Through this work\, we have widened our concept of reparations in two ways: first\, recognizing that the Jewish exodus from and subsequent corporate and governmental disinvestment in these neighborhoods calls on us as Jews to localize our reparations work in these communities. Second\, our support for Ujima and other solidarity economy enterprises connects to our commitment to “full” reparations\, that is\, repair that transforms systems and guarantees non-repeat. \nWe began the series on November 17 and over the next 3 sessions — through a combination of group discussions of the book and guest presenters that will provide more historical and current context of this text — we hope to deepen our understanding of what happened in these communities and how we can continue to support their political and economic empowerment. \nBWC is a member-run community which means we can’t do this work without you! Please contribute any amount you are comfortable with at http://bit.ly/bwcpassthehat. When you access the link type AFREJ L4A in the Other box in the first section. Your donations will go towards providing an honorarium for both of our guest speakers! \nRegister Here: bit.ly/afrejl4a

SUMMARY:Intermediates – Yehoyash’s Yiddish translation of the Tanakh
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an early evening weekly reading group studying Yehoyash’s Yiddish translation of the Tanakh\, in the book of Breyshis (Genesis). Brush up on your biblical vocabulary\, take a stroll down to Mitzrayim with Yosef and his brethren and shvestren\, practice your reading fluency by chanting repetitive verses about the long lives of the ancestors who begat named sons and nameless daughters\, and role play as an ancient sage or shtetl melamed by attempting to explain and expand upon the meanings of these ancient verses.  \nLevel:  This section is intended for continuing BWC intermediates.  New students who have experience reading and speaking Yiddish within or outside of a classroom setting and who want a facilitated reading class are welcome to join. Grammar will be reviewed as it comes up in the text.  \nMaterials:  Provided by instructor.   \nInstructor: Abby Howell

SUMMARY:Building Democracy in Boston & Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Now that we have caught our breath after the Democrats squeaked by in November and Rev. Warnock was reelected by the people of Georgia\, it’s time to take stock of the fight for democracy.

Join us to hear from panelists leading this critical work locally and nationally\, and learn how to take action to protect and strengthen democracy here in the Boston area and beyond.  \nWe will have the following amazing speakers: \n\nSayer LaGalle\, Senior Advisor of Stakeholder Engagement for All Voting is Local / All Voting is Local Action\nAvir Waxman\, Director of the Massachusetts Political Cooperative\nNoah Wagner\, Campaign Director of IfNotNow\nAaron Dockser\, Field Representative Organizer for the Massachusetts Teachers Association\n\nThis event is pay-what-you-can (suggested donation of $5 to $10+).  Donate Here.  \nRegistration is required: Register Here.

As well\, we’ve co-sponsored workshops for the Ujima Fund\, a solidarity economy project led by working-class people of color that works to build political and economic power in Dorchester\, Roxbury\, Mattapan\, and Jamaica Plain. Through this work\, we have widened our concept of reparations in two ways: first\, recognizing that the Jewish exodus from and subsequent corporate and governmental disinvestment in these neighborhoods calls on us as Jews to localize our reparations work in these communities. Second\, our support for Ujima and other solidarity economy enterprises connects to our commitment to “full” reparations\, that is\, repair that transforms systems and guarantees non-repeat. \nWe began the series on November 17 and over the next 3 sessions — through a combination of group discussions of the book and guest presenters that will provide more historical and current context of this text — we hope to deepen our understanding of what happened in these communities and how we can continue to support their political and economic empowerment. \nBWC is a member-run community which means we can’t do this work without you! Please contribute any amount you are comfortable with at http://bit.ly/bwcpassthehat. When you access the link type AFREJ L4A in the Other box in the first section. Your donations will go towards providing an honorarium for both of our guest speakers! \nRegister Here: bit.ly/afrejl4a

SUMMARY:London in Yiddishtown with Vivi Lachs
DESCRIPTION:Yiddishist and historian Vivi Lachs presents her newest book\, London Yiddishtown! In this talk\, Vivi will introduce you to the ups and downs\, the humour and the tensions of Jewish life in London’s East End of the 1930s and 40s through three of its local Yiddish writers. Vivi will talk about the East End and read excerpts of her translations of their stories: Katie Brown’s hilarious sketches about generational conflict\, Summer Lisky’s gripping stories of combating fascism in London\, and Arnold Kaizer’s comic satire of community and synagogue antics. These stories are told with humour\, intensity\, and passion. This talk will be in English; no Yiddish\, London\, or any other knowledge necessary. \nVivi Lachs is a historian of the Jewish East End\, a Yiddishist\, a performer and a researcher at Queen Mary University. Her books on the subject are Whitechapel Noise: Jewish Immigrant Life in Yiddish Song and Verse\, London 1884-1914 and her latest book London Yiddishtown: East End Jewish Life in Yiddish Sketch and Story\, 1930-1950 is partly a result of a 2019 Yiddish Book Center translation fellowship. Vivi is a popular speaker and performer and sings with the bands Klezmer Klub (Whitechapel\, mayn Vaytshepl) and Katsha’nes (Don’t Ask Silly Questions). She runs the Great Yiddish Parade bringing Yiddish songs of protest and union activism of the 1890s back onto the streets of London and leads tours in the local area. \nCopies of London Yiddishtown will be available for purchase and signing. \nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:History of Yiddish Music
DESCRIPTION:Never heard of Naftule Brandwein? No problem. Welcome to your turntable intervention. \nJoin Seattle renegade klezmer Miles (Mai Li Pittard) for your five-class guided tour through the 500-year adventure of Yiddish music: the hits; the stories and scandals; and Miles’ controversial argument for a recent new\, distinct ‘revival’ wave. This interactive listening and historical lecture class will focus on recordings\, “needle-dropping” standards in different eras to showcase the changes in bands’ styles and conventions in groove over time\, and hit a solid selection of must-hears through history (including recent releases!)\, with some special spotlights on queer artists throughout history. This class is not quite music appreciation and not quite history–more like an elevator pitch for the through line and relevancy of modern klezmer and Yiddish music\, and the widely-known conspiracy from Big Klezmer to get you hooked on the good stuff (and the stories behind it). Everyone will leave this class with at least one new weird historical story and a solid listening list that will change your life. No experience necessary; only enthusiasm required. Registration information can be found here.

SUMMARY:BWC Night of Action for Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Join Boston Workers Circle and the Palestine Solidarity Subcommittee (of the Israel-Palestine Committee) on Sunday\, December 4\, at 7 – 8:30pm ET\, for a night of learning and action in community on Zoom. Click here to register! \nWe will follow up on some of the actions BWC has taken together in the past and update our understanding of urgent situations like land theft\, expulsions\, and house demolitions in Masafer Yatta; ongoing Israeli settler violence in the West Bank; and the apartheid system designating vastly separate treatment for Israelis and Palestinians under the law in the State of Israel. \nOur actions may include contacting our legislators\, signing petitions\, making donations\, and more. All attendees are welcome to participate in or opt out of any actions we take as a group. This evening will give us a chance to come together as a community and put our new Israel/Palestine Principles into action. We at the PSSC hope to build a greater shared awareness of what’s happening in the region\, and of what Palestinians are asking international allies to do to support them\, to empower our community members to plug in and support desperately needed change from our homes here in Boston. \nRegister here to join us December 4!

Everyone will leave this class with at least one new weird historical story and a solid listening list that will change your life.

SUMMARY:Learning for Action Series
DESCRIPTION:As we mark the 60 year anniversary since the Boston Workers Circle moved from Dorchester to Brookline\, the Acting For Racial and Economic Justice Committee (AFREJ) will be leading a Learning For Action series around the book\, The Death of an American Jewish Community: A Tragedy of Good Intentions. \nIn the past few years\, we in AFREJ have been learning about reparations and participating in reparative actions. As well\, we’ve co-sponsored workshops for the Ujima Fund\, a solidarity economy project led by working-class people of color that works to build political and economic power in Dorchester\, Roxbury\, Mattapan\, and Jamaica Plain. Through this work\, we have widened our concept of reparations in two ways: first\, recognizing that the Jewish exodus from and subsequent corporate and governmental disinvestment in these neighborhoods calls on us as Jews to localize our reparations work in these communities. Second\, our support for Ujima and other solidarity economy enterprises connects to our commitment to “full” reparations\, that is\, repair that transforms systems and guarantees non-repeat. \nOver the course of 4 sessions — through a combination of group discussions of the book and guest presenters that will provide more historical and current context of this text — we hope to deepen our understanding of what happened in these communities and how we can continue to support their political and economic empowerment. \nRegister Here: https://bit.ly/dajc1117

SUMMARY:IDF Veterans and the True Cost of Occupation
DESCRIPTION:Co-Sponsored with New Israel Fund\, Temple Israel Boston\, and Dorshei Tzedek. \nAs the occupation enters its 56th year\, most Israelis are walled off from the reality of everyday life in the occupied Palestinian territories – literally and figuratively. New Israel Fund grantee Breaking the Silence was founded by a group of IDF veterans who wanted to break down that barrier to educate the Israeli public and spread the word among diaspora Jews worldwide about the moral and human costs of the occupation. \nJoin us for a conversation with two Breaking the Silence members and a screening of Mission: Hebron\, a 20-minute documentary by Rona Segal based on the testimony of Israeli soldiers who served in the largest Palestinian city in the West Bank. We hope this dynamic film will inspire you to get your question answered. \nSince 2004\, Breaking the Silence has published testimonies\, conducted tours in the West Bank\, and documented the harsh realities of the occupation through the voices of former soldiers. NIF is particularly proud to support Breaking the Silence’s efforts to bring the reality of the occupation to young Israelis before they begin their military service. \nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:Screening of "BOYCOTT"
DESCRIPTION:Thirty-Four states have passed laws criminalizing BDS (Boycott\, Divestment\, and Sanctions)\, a non-violent attempt to pressure Israel into ending the occupation. BWC’s principles stand against the criminalization of constitutionally protected free-speech. BOYCOTT\, this award-winning film\, produced by JustVision.org\, documents the cases of several people who have been caught up in their state’s Anti-BDS laws and delves into the court cases surrounding them. \nPremiering in Boston at the Palestine Film Festival in October\, the Anti-Anti-BDS subcommittee of BWC’s Israel-Palestine Committee has arranged for a screening for all of BWC on Nov 10th at 7PM to be followed by a discussion led by a staff member of JustVision. \nRegister Here.
