<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">We would appreciate your circulating the attached information among your colleagues and students and encouraging students to apply. </span></span><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The Naomi Prawer Kadar International Yiddish Summer Program is a joint project of Tel Aviv University, The Naomi Foundation, and Beth Shalom Aleichem, </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">and is administered by the Goldreich Family Institute for Yiddish Language, Literature, and Culture. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Inspired by the quality of the students we have hosted in previous years, the continuously high enrollment for the program (over</span></span><span><span></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"><span></span>120 </span></span><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></span><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">students from 16 countries in 2017), </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">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 </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">and throughout Israel this summer. </span></span><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">We are happy and proud to announce that in the 2017 Yiddish Summer Program we introduced an <strong>Advanced Seminar for Research Students</strong>, which was very successful</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">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: </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Ekaterina Kuznetsova, Regensburg University: </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">“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 very</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">interesting, 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 </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">researchers from different countries.”</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">“The Advanced Seminar was wonderful – comprehensive, profound, interesting, thought provoking, and knowledge expanding. I very much hope that this format will </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">continue in the coming years.”</span></span></p>
