OBITUARY
Sylvia Klein, a 70-year member of the Workmen’s Circle/Arbeter Ring, died December 21. She was 88.
Klein’s involvement with the Workmen’s Circle began as a student and camper. She served several terms on the organization’s national executive board and was chair of its national education committee. Klein also recorded a stint as its national vice president. In 2004, she received the organization’s lifetime achievement award. She was also a member of the Forward Association, which publishes this newspaper.
“Her family life, her social life, all revolved around the organization,” said Bob Kaplan, executive director emeritus of the Workmen’s Circle.
Klein is survived by two daughters, Seena Parker and Maxine Greenspan.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
