Chanukah approaches, we at the Goldreich Institute would like to wish you a
very happy Festival of Lights. As you reflect on this last year, I hope
you have good memories from being a participant in the first Tel Aviv
International Yiddish Program. It was a great pleasure for us to host you
during the month of July, in our total immersion in Yiddish language and
culture. We are now making preparations for our second year, and we wanted to
inform you as early as possible about the dates: June 25 to July 19. Once
again, the program will be a partnership of the Goldreich Family Institute for
Yiddish Language, Literature, and Culture, Beth Shalom Aleichem, and Yung
Yidish. It will include concerts, sing-alongs at the beach, the Shabes Tisch,
walking tours, and workshops. Prof. David Roskies will be joining us again, and
this time there will be two series' of lectures in English : one by Prof.
Michael Stanislavski of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Columbia</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> and another by Prof. Justin Cammy of <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Smith</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">College</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>.
There will also be lectures in Yiddish, of course.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

On behalf of Prof. Avraham Novershtern, Mendy Cahan, and myself, I would
appreciate your spreading the word to your friends and colleagues, encouraging
them to apply for the coming summer. And if you'd like to improve your Yiddish,
please come back. You are always welcome. In the attachment, you will find the
text of the program as it is now advertised on the Tel Aviv University Overseas
Program website. Please forward it to anyone who might be interested. If you
have any questions, please contact our new Summer Program Coordinator, Adina
