Cultural Work, Fraternalism, Inner Life- Material for a Discussion
- Description:
- In Yiddish. Notes on top say "For Itche" in Yiddish, and "File Bronx" in English. Speech for Bronx County Convention, reprinted as a pamphlet, probably for branch discussions. Material regarding culture ranges from ideological (quoting Olgin on the importance of cultural work animated by the latest and best knowledge and understanding) to practical (setting up a culture committee for the borough, not starting meetings too late, creating a dedicated money stream for cultural activities), and using culture to reach out to the broader community. Emphasizes that the Ordn is a fraternal organization above all. Gives a 'ten commandments' of fraternalism. These include the importance of setting a friendly tone, welcoming new members, socializing outside the Ordn activities, expressing concern for the sick and the impoverished, and comforting bereaved members and their families. Other suggestions include group birthday celebrations, family evenings, etc.
