That’s why we are calling for an immediate embargo on US arms to Israel. Join us in calling on Biden and Harris to do the right thing and end this Administration’s disastrous policy of arming Israel’s war and occupation against Palestinians. \nRSVP to our action on Sun 8/18 at 4PM in Boston  \nThe call for a ceasefire and arms embargo is a moral and human imperative\, as well as a necessity as dictated by preexisting American and international law. We are witnessing a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza\, with a reported >40\,000 Palestinians killed\, including\, a truly staggering amount of children\, and public health and infrastructure destruction that will lead to the indirect death of hundreds of thousands Palestinians.  \nThe time is now to act! Register to join our action on Sun 8/18 at 4PM to support the movement for arms embargo. For Gaza\, for the lives that are stake\, and for freedom for all.  URL:https://circleboston.org/event/boston-says-not-another-bomb/ LOCATION:TBD – Registrants will receive location details via email.

See Shule e-mail for details. \nBook Description:In Ashkenazi Jewish folklore\, a golem is a humanoid being created out of mud or clay and animated through secret prayers. Its sole purpose is to defend the Jewish people against the immediate threat of violence. It is always a rabbi who makes a golem\, and always in a time of crisis. \nBut Len Bronstein is no rabbi—he’s a Brooklyn art teacher who steals a large quantity of clay from his school\, gets extremely stoned\, and manages to bring his creation to life despite knowing little about Judaism and even less about golems. Unable to communicate with his nine-foot-six\, four hundred-pound\, Yiddish-speaking guest\, Len enlists a bodega clerk and ex-Hasid named Miri Apfelbaum to translate. \nEventually\, The Golem learns English by binge-watching Curb Your Enthusiasm after ingesting a massive amount of LSD and reveals that he is a creature with an ancestral memory; he recalls every previous iteration of himself\, making The Golem a repository of Jewish history and trauma. He demands to know what crisis has prompted his re-creation and whom must he destroy. When Miri shows him a video of white nationalists marching and chanting “Jews will not replace us\,” the answer becomes clear. \nThe Golem of Brooklyn is an epic romp through Jewish history and the American present that wrestles with the deepest questions of our humanity—the conflicts between faith and skepticism\, tribalism and interdependence\, and vengeance and healing.

Beginning in 1931 with a false accusation of rape against nine Black teenagers\, the case went went on to invigorate a nascent Civil Rights movement\, earn the international support of Communist Party\, and establish itself as a watchword among various strands of the American Left. It inspired reaction from the contemporary world of arts and letters as well\, most famously by poets Langston Hughes and Richard Wright and novelist Harper Lee\, who adapted its events in To Kill A Mockingbird. \nThe international\, politically-oriented Yiddish intelligentsia of the Thirties was no less galvanized\, producing a body of creative response that passionately took up the themes of the trial\, juxtaposing its American injustices with a diversity of images\, tropes and language imbued with their own distinct histories of oppression. \nWild Burning Rage and Song: Replies to Scottsboro brings this world alive as a concert-lecture featuring Professor Amelia Glaser\, author of Songs in Dark Times: Yiddish Poetry of Struggle from Scottsboro to Palestine (Harvard University Press)\, composer/vocalists Heather Klein and Anthony Russell\, and composer/pianist Uri Schreter\, performing their new settings of Yiddish and English poetry written in response to the pervasive climate of race prejudice that gave birth to the Scottsboro trials—and other injustices to come. \nRegister Here.

How then\, when we have a strong critique of Israel’s actions (especially in the past few months) or perhaps even of its foundation as a religious or ethnonational state\, can we connect meaningfully with our Jewish heritage and find a home in the larger Jewish community?

With courage\, guile\, and nerves of steel\, these “ghetto girls” paid off Gestapo guards\, hid revolvers in loaves of bread and jars of marmalade\, and helped build systems of underground bunkers. They flirted with German soldiers\, bribed them with wine\, whiskey\, and home cooking\, used their Aryan looks to seduce them\, and shot and killed them. They bombed German train lines and blew up a town’s water supply. They also nursed the sick\, taught children\, and hid families. \nYet the exploits of these courageous resistance fighters have remained virtually unknown. \nAs propulsive and thrilling as Hidden Figures\, In the Garden of Beasts\, and Band of Brothers\, The Light of Days at last tells the true story of these incredible women whose courageous yet little-known feats have been eclipsed by time. Judy Batalion—the granddaughter of Polish Holocaust survivors—takes us back to 1939 and introduces us to Renia Kukielka\, a weapons smuggler and messenger who risked death traveling across occupied Poland on foot and by train. Joining Renia are other women who served as couriers\, armed fighters\, intelligence agents\, and saboteurs\, all who put their lives in mortal danger to carry out their missions. Batalion follows these women through the savage destruction of the ghettos\, arrest and internment in Gestapo prisons and concentration camps\, and for a lucky few—like Renia\, who orchestrated her own audacious escape from a brutal Nazi jail—into the late 20th century and beyond. \nPowerful and inspiring\, featuring twenty black-and-white photographs\, The Light of Days is an unforgettable true tale of war\, the fight for freedom\, exceptional bravery\, female friendship\, and survival in the face of staggering odds.  (Source: HarperCollins) URL:https://circleboston.org/event/circle-book-group-6/ LOCATION:HYBRID — Boston Workers Circle\, Brookline\, MA\, United States CATEGORIES:Circle Book Group GEO:42.340959;-71.12092 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231104T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231104T183000 DTSTAMP:20260419T204705 CREATED:20231101T134509Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231104T134315Z UID:10001018-1699117200-1699122600@circleboston.org SUMMARY:Community Havdalah DESCRIPTION:These last three weeks have been full of so many complex emotions for our community.

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!

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.

A Besere Velt (a better world) – is the Yiddish Chorus of the Boston Workers Circle. We are a vibrant 80-member intergenerational community chorus that weaves the heartache and irrepressible idealism of Yiddish music into a vision of justice for the 21st century. Our songs contain the history\, culture and progressive values to inspire us to action today.  \nWhen you join A Besere Velt\, you become a custodian of a centuries-old cultural legacy and join a warm\, welcoming community sharing a passion for music\, culture\, and heritage. Our powerful message is progressive and universal. We sing the songs of the workers\, activists\, artists and all who struggled for freedom and justice – struggles that continue today.  \nAll are welcome\, ages 13 and up. There are no auditions; no need to be able to read music. You don’t have to be Jewish\, nor do you need to know Yiddish. Come sing with us! Email abv@circleboston.org for more information and plan to join us for our open rehearsals on October 1st & 15th in Brookline.  \nFor more information about BWC and for samples of ABV performances check out our website: circleboston.org/arts URL:https://circleboston.org/event/a-besere-velt-yiddish-chorus-open-rehearsal/ LOCATION:Temple Beth Zion\, 1566 Beacon St\, Brookline\, MA 02446\, USA CATEGORIES:A Besere Velt END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231001T104500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231001T121500 DTSTAMP:20260419T204706 CREATED:20230718T161946Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230718T161946Z UID:10000700-1696157100-1696162500@circleboston.org SUMMARY:Circle Playtime DESCRIPTION:Circle Playtime is a free playgroup for families with children ages 2-5 years old. Each session includes fun age-appropriate activities\, filled with music-making and storytelling related to a Jewish or social justice holiday.
