Since 1998, JUFJ has worked to put “labor” back into Labor Day by engaging our local Jewish communities in a collective conversation about our texts, our historical experiences, and the challenges facing workers today. We are providing congregations with a resource packet, working with congregations to arrange speakers, and planning follow-up events to help members of participating congregations learn more about some of the injustices facing Maryland workers today.
