Intermediate Yiddish: Virtual
2026-04-28 19:00 - 20:30 | Zoom
Build confidence in your Yiddish – reading, speaking, and listening, in a supportive and welcoming classroom of intermediate Yiddish students. We’ll focus on building reading fluency, comprehension strategies, dictionary skills, and making meaning from texts while enjoying selections from the canon of Yiddish literature. In this class, you will find abundant opportunities to stretch and grow your Yiddish. We’ll read slowly, translate continuously, and look up every unfamiliar word as we read (in Yiddish) and discuss (in English and Yiddish) literature together. This semester, we’ll continue reading the memoirs of 19th-century feminist icon Puah Rakovsky, whose spellbinding tell-all memoir describes her experiences of arranged marriage, teen motherhood, rejecting her religious upbringing, divorcing her parents’ son-in-law, starting a career, and becoming one of the world’s first women’s rights activists.

Counting the Omer Playwriting Workshops

Who: Writers of all kinds! No playwriting experience necessary.
What: As we count the days from Pesach to Shavuot, we invite members of our creative Jewish community to attend a series of low-stakes, reflective playwriting workshops. Each week, we will engage with text as a group, then each write a two-page play based on the corresponding sefirot. These plays can connect to each other, or each can exist in its own little world — the journey is ours to discover!
We hope to share some of these plays with our community on Shavuot – details TBA!
When: Tuesday nights, April 14th – May 19th, 7-8:30pm
Where: Hybrid – Boston Workers Circle (6 Webster Street in Brookline) and Zoom
How: Register here.
Please bring: Your writing implements of choice, maybe some yummy snacks (hot tea provided!)
With support from Nehar Shalom members and the BWC’s Graggernicks

It is especially focused on Muslims’ and Jews’ mutual interest in continuing to learn about and engage with one another, including on difficult issues, all the while recognizing our common interest in opposing all manifestations of Islamophobia and antisemitism, by standing together in the face of any form of ethnic harassment. The JMSC engages in political action, community education, and cooperative efforts with Boston area Muslims and Jews to foster its goal of deepening Jewish-Muslim understanding and solidarity. Our work is based on our belief that human rights are universal and human communities and individuals share the same rights and responsibilities toward one another.

Fradl Shtok (1890-1990) continues to inspire and entice us with her brilliant observations and way with words. Her stories remain fresh and relevant, a century after they were written. Shtok’s poems are crafted with breathtaking precision and passion and her essays are illuminating. Studying Shtok’s texts in Yiddish enables the reader to savor tthe sensuous sounds, wordplay and musicality that are present throughout her work. Her ironic humour, depth of perception and unique writing style will surely engage students in our discussions.

Jews Demand: ICE Out!
2026-04-30 12:00 - 13:00 | 315 Harvard St, Brookline, MA, United States
On April 30, Jews around the country will gather to demand ICE OUT, anchored by a mass action in New York City. We’re doing this because we stand with immigrants and reject ICE brutality and violence. We want ICE out of our schools and workplaces, out of our parks and streets, out of our places of worship, and out of communities everywhere. Grounded in our sacred teachings, we will make the moral case that this system is both a failure of policy and of conscience, and that it does not have to be this way. Jews demand: ICE Out! Local stand-outs are organized by JALSA. Bring signs and wear BWC T-shirts if you can. Contact Judy Somberg, judy.somberg@gmail.com, for more information.
More information from Bend the Arc here.
Noon to 1 pm at 315 Harvard St, Brookline, and 5:30 to 6:15pm at 696 Centre St. JP

The BWC Immigration Committee will be joining the De-ICE Hanscom coalition for their weekly afternoon standout on the first Friday of the month, from 1:30 to 3:00 PM. This gathering takes place at the Hanscom Rotary, located at the intersection of Hanscom Dr. and Old Bedford Rd. in Lincoln, MA.
Event Details

Time: 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM
Location: Hanscom Rotary, Lincoln, MA
Parking: Available along Old Bedford Road or Hanscom Drive (please do not impede traffic or block bike lanes).

Purpose of the Standout
The De-ICE Hanscom coalition organizes peaceful standouts aimed at eliminating ICE transport flights from Hanscom Field. These flights are reportedly used to expedite the removal of immigrants from New England, which undermines their ability to seek effective legal representation.
Coalition Groups Involved
The standout involves several coalition groups including:

Concord Indivisible
Greater Assabet Indivisible Network (GAIN)
Indivisible Acton Area
Jewish Alliance for Law & Social Action (JALSA)
Lexington Alarm
Maynard Indivisible

Sustaining Life in the West Bank, Palestine: Supporting the Work of 1for3
2026-05-17 16:00 - 18:00 | Hybrid: Zoom & BWC Building
REGISTER HERE: bit.ly/SustainingLifeEvent
Please join Boston Workers Circle on Sunday, May 17 from 4:00 – 6:00PM to learn about and support the humanitarian work of locally-based Palestinian organization 1for3. Since its founding in 2013, 1for3 has worked to meet the water, food, education, and health care needs of Palestinian communities in the West Bank. Especially now, while Israeli settler violence, apartheid legislation, and the annexation of Palestinian land escalate rapidly, the role of local communities in broadening awareness and building strong support for 1for3’s life-sustaining efforts has become more urgent than ever.
During the event, four local residents who participated in a 1for3 delegation to the West Bank in October 2025 will share what they witnessed and learned. They will focus on the challenges faced by Bethlehem’s Aida Refugee Camp and surrounding West Bank communities, as well as on 1for3’s current work to restore and expand access to education and badly needed health care services.
The presenters include Diane Abrams from the Health for Palestine Team of 1for 3, Ali Huda from the Design PalestineTeam; and Katherine Hanna and Ilene Carver from the Education Team of 1for3. Circumstances permitting, Nidal al Azraq, executive director of 1for3, may report on his latest trip to the West Bank and provide an update on conditions there.
A Q and A period will follow the presentations, as well as information on how to learn more about and donate in support of 1for3’s work.
This is a hybrid event, taking place at the BWC Building at 6 Webster Street in Brookline and on Zoom. (Location shared upon registration.)

Do you want to start writing in Yiddish but have questions about creating in a language you are still learning? Have you been making art in Yiddish for a while and want feedback on your latest project? Do you want to be part of the first audience for new Yiddish art and support artists with your feedback? Then join us at Di Nest!
Di Nest is an arts incubator for Yiddish creativity. Join us to share your own projects and/or to help workshop community members’ works in progress. IF YOU WANT TO WORKSHOP A PROJECT, PLEASE EMAIL LILYE AT YIDDISH@CIRCLEBOSTON.ORG BEFORE THE MEETING. Emailing at least a couple days before Di Nest is especially appreciated.
Projects in any medium that are in, or prominently feature, Yiddish are welcome–including original works and translations into Yiddish. Di Nest is open to Yiddish speakers and students of all levels. Whether you’re just starting to create in Yiddish or have been doing so for years, you’re welcome to attend!
Each session will include time to workshop material from several participants. Attendees are invited to bring a project to share—but we also welcome attendees who join us to listen, learn, and offer feedback.
Sharing a Yiddish work-in-progress can be daunting, so we will ask ALL attendees to briefly unmute and introduce themselves.
Di Nest is open to Yiddish speakers and students of all levels. Whether you’re just starting to create in Yiddish or have been doing so for years, you’re welcome to attend! Sessions will be in a mix of Yiddish and English.
This program is a collaboration between Boston Workers Circle and Rad Yiddish.
