was looking for traces of the Progressive Musical Benevolent Society on jpress (historical NY mutual aid society for klezmer musicians) and coming up with nothing, but I did keep finding Arbeter Ring Musical Branch 615 ads & coverage in the late 1910s into the 1920s.👀 I don't completely understand its structure, did all A.R. branches also serve as mutual aid societies? Or is it possible this one was just a cultural org.?

My friend Seb Schulman is teaching a class in #Yiddish about the history of the language in #Quebec.
"Montréal and its environs have long been an important point on the map of global Yiddish culture. In this course, we'll take a deep dive into the history, literature, music, theatre, and culture of this unique centre of Yiddish creativity."

My friend Zisl (who I was posting about lately) is teaching a #Yiddish song workshop through the Workers Circle this fall. When I follow through to the link I see there are also other Yiddish music courses being offered by Josh Horowitz (klez accordionist), Josh Waletzky (Yiddish songwriter), Polina Shepherd (UK based choral director and composer), etc. Check it out.

In today's newsletter from Workers Circle, Jewish Culture for a Just World:
"...In 2021, Texas lawmakers passed a wide-ranging voter suppression law, Senate Bill 1. The law made voting even more challenging in a state where it was already difficult — particularly for Black and Latino voters and for people with disabilities, limited English proficiency, or limited literacy.
S.B. 1 imposes new requirements and penalties for vote assisters, deterring volunteers from aiding voters at the polls. It also makes it a crime to compensate or receive compensation for helping people vote by mail, which prohibits, for example, civic organizations from supporting community members who have trouble filling out the forms. Under one provision of the law, a vote assister must sign an oath affirming that the voter qualifies to receive help “under the penalty of perjury” — a requirement that Cole called “offensive.”
