Institute of Jewish Studies

In the light of the tragic fate
of most of the Jewish institu-
tions of higher learning in Eur-
ope, the University's Institute of
Jewish Studies has taken on all
the greater significance as the
center of Hebrew learning for
world Jewry. So that the whole
range of Jewish history may be
encompassed in the culliculum,
additional courses were insti-
tuted.
