Celebrate 125 years of the Workers Circle.
For 125 years, we have been at the forefront of fighting for justice, equality, and democracy. Rooted in the traditions of Yiddishkayt, we've nurtured a love for Yiddish language, music, and stories, keeping this rich cultural heritage alive for new generations.
We invite you to be part of our history and future.

Bringing History Online
We launched a new initiative to digitize the Call. The online collection of this Workmen’s Circle material will enable readers to explore the daily lives and circumstances of Yiddish-speaking immigrants, learn about their assimilation in twentieth-century America, and conduct historical and genealogical research. Visit: www.circle.org/thecall for more info.
