Spring 2024: Once-a-Week Yiddish

YIVO's once-a-week Yiddish classes are held for 12 weeks (12 total sessions, 1.5 hours each) and focus on listening, speaking, reading, and writing in Yiddish.

All of these classes meet live on Zoom, with the exception of Beginner I Yiddish (In-person), Beginner II Yiddish (In-person), and Beginner III Yiddish (In-person), which meet at YIVO in New York City. Additional levels of in-person Yiddish classes will be added in future semesters.

Prerequisites or expected level of familiarity with Yiddish is specified for each course. Enrollment is capped at about 15 students per class. All course details (Zoom link [if applicable], syllabus, handouts, etc.) will be posted to Canvas.

This spring, YIVO is offering ten levels of once-a-week Yiddish.
