Prof. Samuel Rozhansky of Argentina, who is editing a 100-volume anthology of Yiddish literature from all parts of the world, was guest of honor at a reception recently given here by the South African Yiddish Cultural Foundation. The occasion was the publication of a volume of South African Yiddish writing which will be part of the anthology. Fifty volumes of the anthology have already appeared with the financial aid of Joseph Lifshitz, a Johannesburg businessman. Communal leaders praised Prof. Rozhansky for including South African Yiddish writers in the special volume titled, “Dorem Afrikanish.” The reception was held in association with the South African Jewish Board of Deputies.
