Location

MIT Kresge Auditorium | Cambridge, MA

For 25 years, the A Besere Velt Yiddish chorus has created a culture of resistance, and brought us together through radical song. On June 10th at MIT’s Kresge Auditorium, Boston Workers Circle and A Besere Velt will be joining forces with Yiddish rock/folk star Daniel Kahn to present Freedom is a Verb, a concert that is sure to inspire and sustain our work for collective freedom. As Daniel sings:
Freedom is a verb
Something never finished, never done
It's something you must make
It's something you must take
It's something you must constantly become
At Freedom is a Verb we are thrilled to honor and celebrate: Progressive Jewish leader Nadav David, Boston Workers Circle Community and Yiddish community leaders Linda Gritz & Mike Katz, and labor leaders Jessica Wender-Shubow & the Brookline Educators Union. Each of our honorees actively lead our community towards freedom.
