Aaron Zeitlin Gets NYU Literary Prize
Aaron Zeldin, Hebrew poet and
dramatist, has been named the
1970 recipient of the Irving and
Bertha Neuman literary prize
awarded annually by New York
University's Institute of Hebrew
Studies. NYU President James M.
Hester made the presentation at
a reception in Zeitlin's honor Tues-
day at Vanderbilt Hall, Manhattan.
The prize, which consists of a
citation and a cash award of SLOW,
was established in 1962 by Irving
Neuman, New York realtor, and
his wife to encourage Hebrew let-
ters.
This is the first time that the
prize will be given to an Arntfican
citizen and that the ceremony will
take place in this country. Zeitlin,
who lives in New York City, is
being honored, not for any one
piece of work, but for his entire
literary output—"more than a half
century of creative contributions
to Hebrew literature."
Son of world-renowned Hebrew
scholar and writer Hiilel Zeitlin,
Aaron Zeitlin was born in White
Russia and was graduated from
Warsaw University. His entire
family was exterminated in the
Nall holocaust.
'Tunis Rabbi Murdered
by Arab; Incident Linked
to Fanatic Moslem Sect
PARIS (JTA)—A rabbi was shot
to death and another Jew wounded
last week by a local Arab in the
Jewish quarter of Tunis.
The shootings were linked to an
ultra religious Moslem organiza-
tion, the Tunisian Association to
Safeguard the Koran, which issued
an appeal to all Moslems to "fight
for the liberation of the holy places
in Jerusalem and the stolen terri-
tories."
According to reports from Tunis
the assailant may be mentally un-
balanced. The shooting also was
linked to the absence of President
Habib Rourguiba, a moderate who
is undergoing medical treatment at
the Walter Reed Army Hospital in
Washington.
Zeitlin emigrated to the United
States in 1939. From 1950 to 1964,
he served as associate professor
of modern Hebrew literature and
language at the Jewish Theological
Seminary. In 1959, he was given
an honorary doctorate by that
institution.
Zeitlin has written extensively in
Yiddish as well as Hebrew, and he
is a frequent contributor to the
Yiddish press. He has translated
many works from English, Rus-
sian, Polish, French, Spanish and
German into Hebrew.
The panel of judges for this
year's award was headed by Dr.
Abraham I. Katsh, president of
Dropsie College and former direc-
tor of NYU's Institute of Hebrew
Studies. Serving with him were
Dr. Israel Biderman, educational
director of the Jewish National
Fund; Dr. Moshe Davis, head of
the Institute of Contemporary
Jewry at the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem; Prof. David Rudaysky,
acting director of the NYU Insti-
tute of Hebrew Studies; Dov Sa-
dan, Israeli writer and Hebrew
scholar, the 1964 recipient of the
Neuman award; and Justice Moshe
Silberg, permanent deputy presi-
dent of the Supreme Court of
Israel.
All of the previous award win-
ners have been Israeli writers.
The first recipient was the late S.
J. Agnon, who subsequently be-
came a Nobel laureate.
The study of the Hebrew Ian-
guge has been an integral part of
New York University's curriculum
since its inception in 1831. In 1933,
NYU became the first American
university to offer courses in mod
em Hebrew.
