Rabbi Hillel Medalie, spiritual leader of the Jewish community of Antwerp, has been appointed chaplain for Jewish students at the Catholic University of Louvain. There are 150 students at the university, practically all of them American.
This is the first time that contact has been established between the Jewish students at the university and the local Jewish communities. Plans are also under way for the opening of a kosher restaurant in a community center in Louvain.
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.
