United Jewish Socialist Workers Party (Yiddish:
פֿאַראײניקטע ייִדישע סאָציאַליסטישע
אַרבעטער־פּאַרטיי, fareynikte yidishe sotsialistishe
arbeter-partey) was a political party in Poland and Ukraine. Its followers were generally known as
fareynikte (פֿאַראײניקטע). Politically
the party favoured personal autonomy for the Jewish community.[1]
The party upheld the ideas of building a secular Jewish
community.[2]
The party was founded in May 1917 through the merger of two
groups, the Zionist Socialist Workers
Party (Socialist-Territorialists) and the Jewish Socialist Workers
Party (the Seymists). Both of these groups had emerged out of
the Vozrozhdenie group. As of early 1918, Fareynikte was
the largest Jewish autonomist political party in Ukraine.[1][3]
In the 1917 elections in Russia, the party obtained around 8% of
the Jewish votes.[4]
Fareynikt Moishe Zilberfarb was Deputy-Secretary of
Jewish Affairs in the General Secretariat of
Ukraine, the main executive institution of the Ukrainian People's Republic
from June 28, 1917 to January 22, 1918.[5]
Fareynikte ran some Yiddish newspapers in Ukraine. It published
the Naye tsayt in Kiev
September 1917-May 1919.[1]
Prior to the publishing of Naye tsayt, the party published
Der yidisher proletarier from Kiev.[6]
In Poland, dissidents from the Fareynikte party joined
the Communist Party of
Poland.[7]
