The Goldreich Family - Beth Shalom Aleichem Yiddish Summer Program, in 
cooperation with the Naomi Foundation and TAU International, will take 
place on the Tel Aviv University campus from June 27 to July 21, 2011. The 
program offers intensive Yiddish instruction at five levels. Language 
instruction will be supplemented by an afternoon program of lectures, 
conversation workshops, tours, and by evening cultural and social events.
Located minutes away from both the center of Tel Aviv and its beaches, TAU 
is the largest university in Israel, with significant resources in Jewish 
Studies, among them the Diaspora Museum and the Margulies Yiddish Book 
Collection. Students can enjoy Tel Aviv's diverse attractions: museums, 
cafes, Bauhaus architecture, the beach and the promenade, the old harbor, 
summer festivals, and clubs in this Mediterranean city "that never 
sleeps."

As students of the Tel Aviv University School for Overseas Students whose 
credentials are recognized by universities world-wide, participants will 
receive 80 hours of language and literature instruction (four credits) 
with highly qualified and experienced teachers in small classes.

Morning Language Instruction
Yiddish Classes will be held between 9.30-11.00 and 11.30-13.00 on the Tel 
Aviv University campus. Class placement will be determined by students' 
performance on a Yiddish proficiency test.

Yiddish I
Introduction to standard Yiddish conversation, grammar, and writing for 
both English and Hebrew speakers.

Yiddish II
For students who have attained basic Beginners' Yiddish, this class is 
divided into two parts, one on developing composition and conversational 
skills and the other on reading and discussing literary texts.

Yiddish III
For students whose knowledge goes beyond basic Beginners' Yiddish, this 
course is also divided into two parts, one on developing composition and 
conversational skills and the other on reading and discussing literary 
texts.

Yiddish IV
For students nearly fluent in Yiddish, this course will include a 
significant literature component as well as improving both writing and 
reading comprehension.

Yiddish V
This advanced course is designed both to improve fluency with emphasis on 
idiomatic usage of the language, and to analyze selected texts in modern 
Yiddish literature.

Lecture Series
A series of lectures in English on "Landmarks of Yiddish Literature" can 
be audited or taken for one additional credit (requiring written work).
Afternoon Academic and Cultural Program
Afternoon workshops, lectures and activities will be held on the Tel Aviv 
University campus. Activities will include conversation classes, a music 
workshop and concerts. There will also be opportunities to play klezmer 
music. Students are encouraged to bring their musical instruments with 
them.

Tours
Two weekend-trips to Jerusalem, the Negev, and the Galilee are organized 
by the TAU International (School of Overseas Students). The first trip 
will take place before the beginning of the program, June 22-26 and the 
second July 8-10.

Newly renovated dormitories adjacent to the campus are available to the 
participants.

A significant number of scholarships are available, and students are 
encouraged to download and complete the scholarship application form along 
with the registration form at
