Its Yiddish cultural programming includes lectures, readings, concerts, third Passover Seders, and the I.L. Peretz Workmen's Circle School, a supplementary program for children. Following World War II and the Holocaust and the continuing acculturation into American life of the descendants of its Yiddish-speaking Jewish immigrant founders, the Workmen's Circle, in Cleveland and nationwide, has been experiencing significant and continuous loss of membership. The Workmen's Circle's group health plan and death benefits, both of which are available on a non-sectarian basis, are the major source of membership. The collection consists of correspondence, ledgers, membership lists, minutes, and programs. http://norton.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS5088.xml Wed, 01 Jan 2014 12:00:00 GMT http://norton.wrhs.org/collections/view?docId=ead/MS4026.xml The Workmen's Circle (Arbeter Ring) is a fraternal organization designed to perpetuate Yiddish language and culture, seek social reform, and provide support and protection for immigrants.
