Wikipedia:Jewish Labour Bund Task Force

Welcome to The Bund on Wikipedia Project's Wikipedia Task Force. The Bund on Wikipedia Project (דער בּונד אויף וויקיפעדיע פּראָיעקט) is a project that was established in order to create and edit pages about the Jewish Labour Bund, or Bund, on Wikipedia. Our Project seeks to assist professional and non-professional researchers of the Bund, as well as to preserve the memory and legacy of the Bund through Wikipedia. This Project/Task Force was established in August of 2009. Formally, it is a task force under WikiProject Judaism and WikiProject Organized Labour. Please see our website for more information.
