Our annual 6-week summer intensive
The YIVO-Bard Uriel Weinreich Summer Program in Yiddish Language, Literature, and Culture, established in 1968, is the oldest intensive Yiddish summer program in the world.
Our 6-week program offers classes from beginner to advanced levels and a wide variety of cultural and enrichment activities. Under the auspices of theYIVO Institute for Jewish ResearchandBard College, the program offers peerless instruction in the Yiddish language and an in-depth exploration of the literature and culture of East European Jewry and its diaspora communities. The Weinreich Program treats Yiddish as a living language and emphasizes spoken Yiddish. We believe this approach will be helpful to all students, whether they plan to make Yiddish an integral part of their daily life or use it mainly for research.
