Description:
A series of Speakers Guides to political topics. "Anti-semitism in the United States," "Palestine and Zionism," (requires supplementary materials from Moses Miller and Alexander Bittleman), "The Jewish Community in the United States," and "Help Rehabilitate the Jewish People." The "Plan for Educational Activities" is expected to be incorporated into all lodge activities.
Notes:
The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
