Hebrew University in Jerusalem received a donation from a Russian Jewish philanthropist to expand its academic research on Russian Jewry. The Nevzlin International Center for Research of Russian and East European Jewry, dedicated this week, will operate on a $500,000 annual grant from Leonid Nevzlin, a former president of the Russian Jewish Congress.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
