JVL Introduction
The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York organised a discussion recently on “Bundism’s Influence Today”.
The Bund was a secular, socialist, anti-Zionist party embedded among Jews in the old Russian empire and then particularly powerful in Poland between the wars.
It promoted a diaspora-oriented perspective as a nationally conscious group that was not nationalist, but rather Jewish and secular.
It has, as programme panel moderator Jack Jacobs and others argued, much relevance for us today.

Really thoughtful and enlightening. Thank you.
An enlightening article. Learning about the Bund indicates a way in which we as Jews should tackle the issues of the day.
