The man who introduced modern Hebrew to American university classrooms has died. Abraham Katsh, who persuaded New York University to add a course in modern Hebrew in the early 1930s, also later convinced Soviet officials to release thousands of Jewish documents, which he brought to the United States. The Polish-born Katsh, who immigrated to the United States in 1925, was 92.
