By order of the Ministry of Education all rabbis in the country, with or without pulpits, will be obliged to undergo an examination in general education and in Jewish theology before February 20.
The examination will cover such subjects as the Bible, Talmudic literature, the Shulhanaruch, a prief volume containing a digest of all Jewish law; synagogue liturgy and other related subjects. The general examination will cover questions in the Rumanian language, Rumanian history, geography and so on.
This order affects a great number of rabbis in the new provinces of Bessarabia, Bucovina and Transylvania where many of them studied before the war under Russian and Hungarian regimes.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
