Jewish women and labor activism

History, Social Justice

Get in the May Day spirit by exploring an inspiring moment in Jewish women’s history - when immigrant garment workers in the early 20th century transformed the American labor movement. Looking at the stories of Jewish women labor leaders, historical documents, and our own lives, we will consider how we feed the needs of body and soul and work for social change.
