demanding a multiracial multicultural democracy for all our history for more than 100 years the workers circle has been at the center of progressive jewish culture and social action and we re continuing that journey in bold new ways toward the end of the nineteenth century jewish emigration from eastern europe to the united states reached explosive proportions many of the newly arrived immigrants has made great sacrifices and endured many hardships to reach the united states a land where they thought they would find welcome and have opportunities denied them in their homelands when they arrived many were shocked by what greeted them in america a land of freedom and opportunity to be sure but one too of exploitative labor practices blighted and overcrowded tenements ethnic rivalries and the daunting job of assimilating into an unfamiliar culture the newcomers recognized the importance of facing these challenges with a unified front and of keeping traditional and deeply held jewish values of community and social justice alive so a convocation of progressive minded jewish immigrants gathered in 1900 to found der arbeter ring yiddish for the workers circle over the past century the workers circle has shifted from a mutual aid membership organization to a 501 c3 nonprofit but we remain passionately committed to our core living principles jewish community an enlightened jewish culture and building and collectively engaging an activist community that fights for social and economic justice and civil liberties for all for years our social institutions played a crucial ameliorative role in the lives of american jews and through our camp schools and lively communities across north america we continue to play that role yiddish was once the primary language of our founders and the majority of our members today we are widely known and respected for leading the world s largest yiddish language program in the world which has served as a central force in the renaissance of fascination and creativity in yiddish culture including literature music and theater historically the workers circle raised a crucial voice in the struggles of american labor today we

forget that we stand on the shoulders of our eastern european immigrant founders whose fierce collective engagement allowed them to overcome so many obstacles in their path to freedom and opportunity in the united states we define our personal and organizational identities by pursuing equality fighting for human dignity and making the world a fairer place for all when our founders themselves people who were different and often excluded in an unfamiliar world arrived from eastern europe they created the workers circle to give their community a powerful voice we carry on their spirit of inclusion by welcoming and celebrating the diversity of jewish life and peoplehood in america celebration of our culture jewish life can be a celebration and a lens through which to see the world we
