Students enroll in the intensive Yiddish program for 4 academic credits.
A vibrant summer program in Yiddish language and culture, launched in 2006, will
once again take place at Tel Aviv University. Under the auspices of the Goldreich
Family Institute for Yiddish Language, Literature, and Culture at Tel Aviv University,
Beth Shalom Aleichem, and Yung Yidish, this four-week program offers intensive Yiddish
instruction on campus at the beginners, intermediate, and advanced levels, as well
as a rich afternoon program of lectures, tours, theatre, concerts, museums, films,
and cultural events.
As students of the School for Overseas Students at Tel Aviv University, whose credentials
are recognized by universities world-wide, participants will receive 80 hours of
language instruction (four credits) with highly qualified and experienced teachers
in small classes and will be housed in dormitories adjacent to the campus. Language
instruction will be supplemented by lectures given by leading scholars in the fields
of Yiddish language, literature, and culture.
The Summer School's cultural program will include music and poetry workshops, Yiddish
theatre, meetings with Yiddish writers, events at the Yiddish Writer's hub Beth
Leivick, Beth Shalom Aleichem and Yung Yidish Cultural Center, musical performances
(including Klezmer), films, museums, and Yiddish walking tours. During leisure hours,
Tel Aviv offers museums, cafes, Bauhaus architecture, the beach and the promenade,
clubs at the old harbor and throughout the city, open air markets, summer street
festivals, and the charm of old Jaffa with its artist colony.
A significant number of scholarships are
available. To be considered for aid, please submit your completed Scholarship Form and program Registration Form. Scholarship requests
