other activities[edytuj]
On August 22, in Śródborów near Otwock, during the International Seminary of Yiddish Language that is annualy held by Shalom Foundation, we had the opportunity to present the yiddish lebt project and the Yiddish dictionary to the people potentially the most interested in them. About twenty seminary participants took part in the prelection: students, as well as lecturers from Poland, Germany, USA, Israel and Lithuania. The project arouse interest, sometimes on the verge of disbelief that something like this exists. The most enthusiastic were Polish students of Judaic and German studies. Part of them initially declared the wish to join Wiktionary as editors.
