<br /><br /><br /> Hello again! There are still scholarships available to students who are<br /> interested in attending our program, "The Plays of Sholem Asch." Would<br /> you mind sending out a reminder to the Jewish Faculty listserv? Here is<br /> the information again:<br /><br /> The Yiddish Book Center has a limited number of scholarships available<br /> to students who would like to attend our weekend program "THE PLAYS OF<br /> SHOLEM ASCH [1]," running NOVEMBER 1-3, 2019 IN AMHERST, MASSACHUSETTS.<br /><br /> Yiddish writer Sholem Asch is perhaps best-known for his early play, Got<br /> fun nekome_ (_God of Vengeance). Its heady mix of themes--including<br /> prostitution, lesbian romance, and religious hypocrisy-- brought Asch<br /> fame and notoriety. But the rest of Asch's extensive dramatic output has<br /> been almost entirely forgotten. His more than twenty plays explore<br /> interfaith love, the Jewish underworld, Messianic dreams, and class and<br /> power in the Jewish world.<br /><br /> This program includes four lectures, readings, and kosher meals, and<br /> will be led by three leading scholars of Asch and the Yiddish theater:<br /> Professor Joel Berkowitz of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee;<br /> Yiddish Book Center Bibliographer David Mazower; and actor, translator,<br /> and author Caraid O'Brien.<br /><br /> _Currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate students are eligible to<br /> apply for a scholarship that will cover the entire cost of the weekend<br /> (lectures, meals, and events, though not accommodations). To apply,<br /> students should email Margaret Frothingham at<br /><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:mfrothingham@yiddishbookcenter.org">mfrothingham@yiddishbookcenter.org</a> with a brief (150-300 words)<br /> description of where they go to school, what year they are, what they<br /> are studying, and why they would like to attend this program. We want to<br /> know how this program would contribute to their course of study. The<br /> deadline to apply for the scholarship is OCTOBER 4. Please note:<br /> Students who have previously been awarded a weekend program scholarship<br /> are not eligible to apply._<br /><br /> Thanks so much,<br /><br /> Margaret<br /><br /> FROM: Margaret Frothingham<br /> SENT: Friday, September 06, 2019 1:33 PM<br /> TO: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:jskolnik@german.umass.edu">jskolnik@german.umass.edu</a><br /> SUBJECT: Opportunity for students at the Yiddish Book Center<br /><br /> Hi Jonathan,<br /><br /> The Yiddish Book Center is offering scholarships for students in the<br /> 5-colleges to attend our weekend program, "The Plays of Sholem Asch", at<br /> no cost.
