Our programs, our mission, need your support!
Without your help, the many programs and services we offer to the community, most at little or no cost, could not continue. Please make a donation today.

Mural Restoration Fund:

In 1998 we dedicated the Yidishkayt mural on our building, on the 90th anniversary of Workmen’s Circle in Southern California. Our mural is a living landmark for Jewish Los Angeles and truly one of the finest murals in our mural-rich city. It not only beautifies our building but expresses so well what we do here—social justice, Jewish values, Yiddish culture, our progressive sense of history, our positive vision for the future.

In the years since, rain and weather, earthquakes and the rumbling of heavy trucks have all taken their toll. In a word, our mural needs some restorative attention. We have contracted with world-renowned Nathan Zakheim Associates (NZA), really the best in this field, whose father Bernard Zakheim, a significant New Deal-era artist, was active with The Workmen’s Circle in the Bay Area. He was on the organizing committee for the “First Yiddish Art Exhibition” in San Francisco in June of 1930. Nathan grew up with Workmen’s Circle values and traditions. His work for us is basically just costs.


We invite all our members, neighbors, friends and readers, from near and far, to contribute toward the mural restoration. Donations of $500 or more will earn you a name inscription on the wall.


Chair Plaques:

A beautiful way to pay tribute to a friend, teacher, or family member. Your engraved brass plaque will be seen by the hundreds of people who use our Center every year. English, Hebrew and Yiddish engraving possible. Contact us if you would like help with wording.

Tributes & Celebrations

Honor a simkhe, a milestone or the passing of a loved one with a donation to The Workmen's Circle. Your tribute will be published in Der Arbeter Briv and an acknowledgement will be sent to the person or family you are honoring.

Planned Giving

Remembering The Workmen's Circle in your will is one of the most significant and meaningful forms of donation. Your donation will extend your lifetime of work for a better and more beautiful world into the next century and the next generation. Please contact us at 310.552.2007 if you would like guidance on this type of donation.

Program Specific Support

Make a donation directly to the programs that have touched your life! Our Yiddish classes, choruses, film series, holiday programs, are all subsidized by donors like you so that people from throughout the Los Angeles community can experience welcoming, progressive Jewish culture and tradition, regardless of their ability to pay. Earmark your donation to the program of your choice and it will be used directly to keep Yiddish classes running, choruses singing, and our Peysakh seder alive!

All donations to the Workmen’s Circle are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. All checks should be made payable to "The Workmen's Circle" and mailed to 1525 S. Robertson Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90035.
