The Yiddish Book Center’s Steiner Summer Yiddish Program offers college students a spirited exploration of Yiddish language and culture. In seven weeks of concentrated study, from June 8-July 25, 2014, Steiner students not only gain Yiddish language literacy and substantive knowledge of Central and Eastern European Jewish history and culture – they also participate in the lively world of Yiddish cultural preservation and production as it exists today at the Yiddish Book Center and beyond.

All accepted students receive free tuition for undergraduate credits through the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Intermediate Yiddish students receive free housing and living stipends in exchange for working with ongoing projects at the Center. Limited housing subsidies are available for beginner students, based on need. The 2014 Steiner Summer Yiddish Program is open to undergraduate and graduate students under the age of 26 without regard to race, color, religion, or national origin. No prior knowledge of Yiddish is required for beginner students.
Applications must be submitted by February 10, 2014.
