- Translated Summary: A special issue for children published on the tenth anniversary of the Morgn Frayhayt. Includes an article "No More Hebrew" and an anti-religious cartoon: Aroys fun 'Hebrews' or, Escape from Hebrew, in which children leave their kheyder [cheder] (religious school) for an I.W.O. school, with a portrait of Lenin on the blackboard. The kheyder teacher tries to round them up and is triumphantly assaulted. Other interesting articles include presentiments of the coming war ("You have heard, children, of the war that capitalist Japan has waged on China..."); contributions from Betzalel Friedman, Itshe (Itche Goldberg), and Kalman Marmor; a report by Y. A. Rontsh on striking Kentucky miners visiting an Ordn Shul, and others.
- 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.
