An American university received a $500,000 matching grant from the U.S. government to support its Jewish studies program. The money, given by the National Endowment for the Humanities to Johns Hopkins University, will go toward collections and a librarian for its Leonard and Helen R. Stulman Jewish Studies Program. The matching grant will go into effect if the program can raise $2 million from non-federal sources before 2009.
