All important news about the state and fate of Yiddish at Sydney Uni:
The Dan Goodrdige Lectureship for Yiddish Studies is endowed.
So, we're here to stay for four more years -- at least.
Note at the bottom of the article, this tidbit for students: "former Mandelbaum House office bearer Nathan Zusman left an endowment for Yiddish studies, which the Mandelbaum Trust would use to establish a yearly Yiddish scholarship."
Good news, indeed. And keep an eye out -- there may be more on the way.
