Hebrew will become a second, official language for those taking BA courses in literature at the Dijon University, beginning this academic year. This was stated here today by sources close to the central French town’s Chief Rabbi, Rav Joseph Touitou, on whose initiative the move was made. The first Hebrew lecture at this campus will be given in the week starting Oct. 25.
