The Jewish workers of Warsaw celebrated Yom Kippur this year by transforming it into an anti-clericalist day, the “Naje Folkscajtung”, the daily organ of the Jewish Socialist Party, the Bund, writes. Besides the imposing mass meeting held on Yom Kippur night, it says, we had an inaugural meeting at the trade union headquarters of a Jewish Socialist Freethinkers’ Society. The project has been under consideration for a long time to carry on an atheist and anti-clericalist activity among the Jewish working masses.
