I rise today to acknowledge the life and achievements of Gershon Jacobson. the veteran Yiddish journalist. who founded and published the Algemeiner Journal. I am saddened to report that Mr. Jacobson passed away on May 29. 2005. He is survived by his loving family and his many friends. who have established the Gershon Jacobson Jewish Continuity Fund to serve as an anchor for the perpetuation of Mr. Jacobsons legacy. Mr. Jacobson was one of our Nations most respected and influential journalists. He was born in Moscow in 1933 and soon emigrated to France. where he began his writing career. He then moved to America and immediately began working for the New York Herald Tribune. In the 1960s.
