Dr. E. Tcherikower, the well known Jewish historian who was in London recently in the interests of the Yiddish Scientific Institute and went back to Berlin for the meeting of the Dubnov Fund, at which the decision to publish the Dubnov Yiddish Encyclopaedia was taken, is returning to London at the end of this week to resume his propaganda work with a view to setting up in London a section of the Yiddish Scientific Institute, to raise funds for the promotion of its work, and also for organising a group of workers in London to conduct historical and other research work in connection with the Yiddish Scientific Institute in relation to Jewish life and developments in this country.
In the course of his recent stay in London, Dr. Tcherikower attended a number of private and public gatherings at which he enlisted considerable support for the Institute. A reception was also given him by the Jewish Workers’ Circle, with the participation of several other Jewish organisations here, at which the Haham Dr. Gaster was in the chair. Dr. Tcherikower hopes to extend the circle of Friends of the Yiddish Institute in London and to establish a permanent London Section.
