Jewish Soviets and collectives in Crimea must in the future conduct official business in the Yiddish language in accordance with a decision of the Crimean Zik.
The Zik declares that in the past a number of Soviets and collectives failed to use the Yiddish language because of the lack of proper terminology. A special consultation bureau has now been opened in Freidorf which will assist the collectives and Soviets. Special courses will be conducted on how to write protocols, certificates and other documents in the Yiddish language, it was announced. A handbook of regulations will also be issued.
