Take a class and explore how Jewish history and culture continue to shape your life and the times in which we live. Throughout the year, YIVO offers courses in Yiddish and Jewish history and culture, both in-person and online.

In addition, two special programs provide the opportunity for more intensive learning experiences: The Uriel Weinreich Program in Yiddish Language, Literature, and Culture, established in 1968, is the oldest intensive Yiddish summer program in the world. The YIVO-Bard Program on Ashkenazi Civilization, the first of its kind, brings the knowledge of leading scholars in the field of Jewish Studies to both adult learners and for-credit students.
