Jewish Professional Society of Theatre Workers

Jewish Professional Society of Theatre Workers (Ebreju teātra darbinieku professionālā biedrība).

Registered on 17 June 1929 (Valdības Vēstnesis 1929.07.16.).

By decision of the People's Communist Party, the society was dissolved (Ziņotājs, 1941, no. 26).

Over the years, the members of the board and active members included Irina Baranovskaya, Anna Shermanis, Movsa Shurits, Rafael Shmorgon, Yudel Etmanis, Abram Levenberg, L. Leibovich, Markus Vegers, R. Smarogonsky, Meyer Yoffe, Leo Herzmark, and Yakov Blum.

The purpose of the society was to help and protect the material and cultural interests of Jewish theatre workers, as well as to promote their moral development.

From 1933 until its liquidation in 1940, the society held its meetings in Riga at 10b Marias Street, apartment 9.
