126 years of fighting for frayhayt, glaykhayt un gerekhtikayt - freedom, equality & justice.

IMG_9146.JPG

The Jewish Labour Bund in Melbourne was established in 1928 and continues to enact its ideological focus of frayhayt, glaykhkayt and gerekhtikayt (freedom, equality and justice) today. The Bund focuses on creating and nurturing a strong sense of secular Jewish identity through Yiddish language and culture in our community. Learn more about our history here.

The Bund runs a number of cultural and political events throughout the year and is involved in wider community forums and rallies such as the Bono Weiner Lecture, Yiddish music performances and events for Jewish yom toyvim (holidays). We also have an extensive collection of events, lectures and entertaining videos through our Bund Online page.

Mir Zaynen Ale Brider: We Are All Brothers

“Mir Zaynen Ale Brider” is an opportunity to gather as a community to call for an end to injustice, discrimination and suffering. To decry the degradation and cruelty being inflicted on the civilians of Gaza. To reflect on shared grief and pain. To demand mentshlekhkayt and frayhayt above all else.

All proceeds from the evening will be donated to Standing Together.
