  1. The main accomplishment of Joseph – and Leah and her sister Sara and Sara's husband, Markus Kaswan, and the Jewish Socialist Bund in Czernowitz generally – was the creation of Morgenroit [managed with help of American donations], a vocational school that taught dressmaking to girls and furniture making to boys in addition to high school level subjects generally. Two grand buildings were built, one including classrooms, workshops, a great library, a cafeteria and dining room, a gym and other spaces, the other one an opulent theater normally used for films but equipped to be transformed into a grand opera house.

  2. Abbreviation of "Algemeyner Yidisher Arbejter Bund in Lite, Polyn un Rusland" – "General Jewish Workers' Union in Lithuania, Poland and Russia"; Jewish socialist party foundet in Russia in 1897. Return
