BEERSHEBA — In his
recent remarks in Stoc-
kholm, Yiddish writer and
Nobel Prize winner Isaac
Bashevis Singer referred to
his mother tongue as "a
dying language." However,
at Ben-Gurion University,
it is not dead yet. In fact, it is
showing vigorous signs of
life.
Three years ago, the uni-
versity established a Yid-
dish Culture Studies pro-
gram as a division of the
Humanities and Social Sci-
-ences departments. Each
year enrollment has
climbed, to the present total
of approximately seventy
people studying the litera-
ture, culture, and traditions
of a once flourishing Euro-
pean Jewish society.
Two courses are being of-
fered this semester. One fo-
cuses mainly on Sholem
Aleichem's Tevye stories
and the other deals with I.L.
Peretz, the Yiddish author
whose Hasidic tales have
delighted generations of
Jewish audiences. Students

Pakistan Blames
Zionist Influence
for Aid Cutoff

NEW YORK — Pakistan
charged the U.S. govern-
ment with forming its
foreign policy under the
influence of "Zionist circles"
after Washington last week
decided to cut off aid to that
country on, the suspicion
that it was trying to develop
nuclear weapons.
Denying that such a nu-
clear program was under
way, the ministry of foreign
affairs attributed the U.S.
policy to the influence of
"Zionist circles" who feared
that an atomic bomb de-
veloped in this Islamic
country would be used by
"the Moslem world" to
menace Israel.
An official of the foreign
affairs ministry called the
Washington action dis-
criminatory, but would not
clarify the nature of Pakis-
tan's nuclear projects that
aroused Washington's sus-
picion.

are given the option of read-
ing the texts in the original
Yiddish or in Hebrew trans-
lation. The course is taught
primarily in Yiddish with
occasional explanations in
Hebrew.
An expanded program in
the future may feature the
works of other well-known
writers from the past.
