Frank and Yetta Chaiken Center for Jewish Studies opens at UD

     Frank L. and Yetta Chaiken of Wilmington have established an
endowment for the purpose of advancing and perpetuating Jewish studies
at the University of Delaware.
     The Frank and Yetta Chaiken Center for Jewish Studies, located at
231 South College Ave. has opened and provides a home for the
University's Jewish Studies Program and a place for students and
faculty to meet, work and socialize.
     The new center is one of the benefits of this endowment, which
also will help expand courses, develop seminars and bring guest
lecturers to the campus.
     The Jewish Studies Program was established at the University in
1990. Sara Horowitz directs the program, and its multidisciplinary
curriculum includes courses in literature, history, philosophy,
Hebrew, sociology and political science.
