A controversy over the instruction of modern Hebrew is now holding the attention of the Jewish community of Budapest.
The directors of the Budapest Kehillah have issued instructions prohibiting the continuation of the instruction of modern Hebrew in the Budapest Jewish high school, the only school in Hungary in which. Hebrew was taught. This prohibition caused the protest of the parents, who held a meeting protesting against this decision. A delegation of the parents association appeared before the communal board, declaring that they would withdraw their children from the high school if the prohibition was enforced.
