Workmens’ Circle longtime education director Philip Geliebter’s (died 1935) copy with his name gilt-embossed on the front cover (He is listed on the masthead). In his 1936 history of the Workmen’s Circle, written the year after Geliebter’s death, Maximillian Hurwitztranslates an earlier article by Gelebter, proudly describing the achievements and goals of the Workmen’s Circle’s educational programs: “In cultivating an interest in Jewish life and Jewish problems, in cultivating the knowledge of the Yiddish language and its literature, we have simultaneously cultivated the spirit of social mindedness. While acquainting the children, as well as the adults, with important epochs in Jewish history, with contemporary Jewish writers and Jewish literature, we have not neglected to acquaint them with the economic, political, and social problems of to-day, prompting them to think of a brighter future, a brighter tomorrow…. Jewish education should… have for its goals to make Jewish people realize the importance of identifying their economic and political security with the hopes and aspirations of the organized labor and socialist movement, of all progressive and democratic forces in society. [It] should be national in form, substance, and spirit, and international in its scope and aim (in Hurwitz: The Workmen’s Circle: Its History, Ideals, Organization, andInstitutions. New York: The Workmen’s Circle. Pages 163-5).“Formed in 1900 by Yiddish-speaking Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, The Workmen's Circle at first acted as a mutual aid society, helping its members to adapt to their new life in America. It provided life insurance, unemployment relief, healthcare, social interaction, burial assistance and general education through its branches throughout the US as well as through its national office. Soon, the organization was joined by more politically focused socialist Bundists who advocated the anti-assimilationist idea of Yiddish cultural autonomy, led by education in Yiddish and socialist ideals. The Circle formed the Folksbiene Yiddish theatre troupe and promoted Jewish arts and music, Yiddish school programs for children and Yiddish summer camps. It became influential in the American labor movement and grew to serve more than 84, 000 members through hundreds of branches around North America. It also became involved with the Yiddish newspaper The Forward and operated old-age homes, medical clinics and other services. Politically, the Circle moved away from socialism towards liberalism by the time of the New Deal” (Wikipedia, 2018) . SUBJECTS: Jews -- United States -- Periodicals.
