No Purim celebration is complete without a wild and wacky Purim Shpiel, costume finery, and loads of fun and games. The Boston Workmen's Circle annual Family Purim Party & Carnival, hosted by the Shule 7th grade class, features games and prizes for children under 10. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us on Sunday, March 4, 2018.

Tu B'shvat is a holiday that marks the "New Year for the Trees." Join us for a unique Tu B'shvat seder to celebrate our love of trees, with an emphasis on environmental concerns and food justice. Readings, songs, and poems will reflect the origins of the seder adapted to progressive secular Jewish life in the 21st century.
The Pew Research Center recently released a report on the increasingly secular nature of Jews in America - a report which has caused much consternation across the larger Jewish community. We're pleased to share a more optimistic take, in the form of former President Mike Felsen's wonderful article in Ha'aretz this week, describing how Boston Workmen's Circle fits into this trend.

At our High Holiday observances each year, we invite members of the Boston Workmen's Circle community to share d'vars - reflections that connect topics of personal interest or expertise to wishes, thoughts, and calls to action for the new year.
“The Workmen's Circle is my Jewish community because it allows me to express all the different aspects of my Jewish identity in one place. It’s where I act for change while being part of a larger, inter-generational community.”
