The Jewish People’s College created by the Federation of Jewish Societies in France this week entered its fourth year of existence, with an expanded curriculum in Jewish and French history and in Yiddish, Hebrew and French literature.
New courses in French for immigrants have been established by this college, the aim of which is to spread the knowledge of Jewish life through its history and literature and to disseminate a knowledge of natural and social sciences among the Jewish immigrants in France and to make them familiar with the economic and cultural life of the country.
A cultural center for Jewish immigrants was also opened at the college in the form of a library named after Efim Pernikoff. The Pernikoff recently endowed a trade school in Tel Aviv.
