Dear Friends and Colleagues, 

We are pleased to announce the dates of the upcoming NAOMI PRAWER KADAR
INTERNATIONAL YIDDISH SUMMER PROGRAM AT TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY:  JULY 1 TO
JULY 26, 2018. 

 We would appreciate your circulating the attached information among
your colleagues and students and encouraging students to apply. 
WE HAVE SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS JOINING US FROM ABROAD.


The Naomi Prawer Kadar International Yiddish Summer Program is a joint
project of Tel Aviv University, The Naomi Foundation, and Beth Shalom
Aleichem, and is administered by the Goldreich Family Institute for
Yiddish Language, Literature, and Culture. 

Inspired by the quality of the students we have hosted in previous
years, the continuously high enrollment for the program (over120
students from 16 countries in 2017), the dedication of our teaching
staff, and the generous commitment of the Naomi Foundation, we look
forward to once again hosting students from around the world and
throughout Israel this summer. 

We are happy and proud to announce that in the 2017 Yiddish Summer
Program we introduced an ADVANCED SEMINAR FOR RESEARCH STUDENTS, which
was very successful and highly praised by its participants, and which we
plan to continue this summer. 

Here are two samples of graduate student responses to the seminar: 
Ekaterina Kuznetsova, Regensburg University: "It was an enriching
experience, which gave me inspiration and new insights to apply to my
research work. My Yiddish skills improved significantly, classes were
veryinteresting, and the level of discussion was very high. Without any
doubts, it was a brilliant idea to organize an advanced research
seminar, which brought together researchers from different countries."
Danny Luzon, Berkeley: "The Advanced Seminar was wonderful -
comprehensive, profound, interesting, thought provoking, and knowledge
expanding. I very much hope that this format will continue in the coming
years." 

We wish to bring to your attention an article by Prof. Justin Cammy of
Smith College, about our Summer Program, which has just appeared in _In
geveb_:

Many of the best students in the program learned about it from their
teachers or colleagues, so we thank you for your support in the past and
we ask for your help with enrollment for this summer.
