The History of the Workmen’s Circle in Montreal
For more than a century, the Workmen’s Circle played an important role in Jewish life in Montreal. The organization was one of the most important secular Jewish forces in the city and for many years fostered a rich cultural and communal life.
In our upcoming Zoom conversation (in Yiddish), we will meet the individual who led the Workmen’s Circle in Montreal in its final years:
Shaul (Sol) Edelstein
In the early years of the twentieth century there were a number of Workmen’s Circle branches. These branches carried out a rich cultural program: they ran schools, theater troupes, choirs, and organized many other cultural activities. Over the years the branches gradually closed, and the remaining activities came together in one house. In the past year the house itself also closed. With that, a long chapter in the history of the Workmen’s Circle in Montreal came to an end. In our conversation, Shaul Edelstein will speak about the branches, about the life and activities that took place in that house, and about his own experiences in the final years of the organization.
