The Jewish Socialist Verband (JSV) was a

Bolshevik Revolution.[1] With the disaffiliation of the JSF from the Socialist Party of America in 1921, the minority opposed to this formed the JSV, which became the SPA's Jewish language federation.[2] Prominent members of the JSV at its foundation included Jacob Panken, Otto Branstetter, Benjamin Feigenbaum, Charles Solomon, Baruch Charney Vladeck, Alexander Kahn and Abraham Cahan (editor of the Jewish Daily Forward).[1]

In 1936 when the Socialist Party split, the JSV joined the "Old Guard"

It still was in existence at least until the early 1980s.
