3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has 

posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames.

The summer of 2009 marks the tenth anniversary of the Vilnius Summer

founded at Oxford in 1982 and relocated to Vilnius in 1998). We plan to 
celebrate with the best program ever. The faculty comprises Mr. Hanan

Jerusalem); Prof. Dov-Ber Kerler

Indiana); Dr. Maria Krupoves <http://www.goldenland.com/krupoves.htm>

<http://www.linkedin.com/pub/4/2a3/284> (Director of Yivo in Buenos 
Aires); Prof. Anna Verschik 
<http://www.jewish-languages.org/averschik.html> (Tallinn University & 
University of Helsinki, Finland). The academic advisors are Prof. Dovid 
Katz <http://www.dovidkatz.net/>, who founded the original program at 
Oxford, and Prof. Sarunas Liekis 
<http://www.versus.lt/Pub/default.aspx?Page=WriterDetails&ID=112> 
<http://www.versus.lt/Pub/default.aspx?Page=WriterDetails&ID=112>, who 
has directed the Vilnius Yiddish Institute since its inception. In 
addition, there will be a rich program of cultural activities, 
historical walks, concerts, workshops, seminars, panels and the renowned 
////shabes-tish//. There will be a visit to a former shtetl in the 
company of a Yiddish speaking survivor who grew up there before the war.
