From Emma Goldman to Noam Chomsky, from the Freie Arbeiter Stimme to Anarchists Against the Wall, there is a rich history and tradition throughout the world of Jewish anarchism, Yiddish-language antiauthoritarianism, and Hebrew self-determination.

antizionist/nonzionist haggadah

says on the tin, looking for a haggadah that anyone recommends, doesn't have to be 100% anti/non (like I don't think prayers necessarily have to be altered because they can be looked at certain ways) but something along those lines or something any of yall just recommend (i put my faith in you). if your recommendation is short or has options for a shorter service that's extra helpful. I know a queer antizionist haggadah went around a few years ago so if anyone has that id appreciate it!

[Documentary from 2011] Paul Goodman Changed My Life

(Not finding any easily accessible videos online, but if you dig it’s probably around)

Paul Goodman, whose best-selling 'Growing Up Absurd' made him the philosopher of the New Left in the 1960s, was also a brilliant poet, out queer (and family man) in the 1940s, radical pacifist and visionary. His ideas and stubborn integrity helped many find a moral compass in the '60's -- and can do so again today.

Is it possible my Jewish great-great-grandma was part of an anarcho-communist group in Bialystok?

Shana tova! I have been going through my family tree, and under my great-great-grandma Ida's name it says "b. 1888 Bialostok (sic) ... Member of Russian undergd. against Czar. Had to leave. Spoke 7 languages fluently." Obviously this sounded badass so I investigated, and while googling Bialystok I saw something about Chernoe Znamia, the "Black Banner" which was an anarcho-communist group that was predominantly very young Jews (mostly teenagers) in Bialystok that was founded in 1903, when Ida would have been 15. So, I've been wondering if it is possible if she could be part of this group, and have a few questions that I thought people here could help me investigate :)

  1. Were there lots of other "Russian underground anti-Czar" groups in Bialystok around that time that she could have been a part of?
  2. Is it possible that there is some kind of record of the membership of Chernoe Znamia/other potential groups that I could check? (I feel like an anarchist group runs by teenagers would not keep attendance but I thought I would ask.)

Any insight or direction to interesting sources would be appreciated! Thanks so much!

Here is some other stuff that may be relevant:
- My dad compiled the family tree in the 90s based off of conversations with family members who have since passed away.
- The only thing my grandpa remembers is that Ida moved from Bialystok to live with an aunt in Paris before coming to the US.
- On the family tree it says her first kid was born in 1907 in Newark, when she was 19. I looked at Ellis Island records but haven't found anyone who resembled her on their ledger.

ps this is my first reddit post ever :P
