| | Klezmer Review: In Love and In Struggle: The Musical Legacy of the Jewish Labor Bund |
 | | Here, instead, Cooper's narrative, describing the founding of the Bund in Vilna, turns the song into an expression of faith, a song about the Jerusalem of Lithuania, soon to become known as the locus of the Jewish worker's struggle to transform themselves, their community, and the world. |
 | | It is, after all, the 100-Year Anniversary of the founding of the Bund that provided the occasion for the concert that inspired this album. |
 | | And, if today, the Bund is less visible, we have unions, co-ops, and a new generation of organizations such as Jews for Economic and Racial Justice (JFERJ) to carry on the struggle. |
