Spring 2024: Reading Yiddish

YIVO’s reading Yiddish courses are held live, weekly on Zoom for 14 weeks (14 total sessions, 1 hour 50 minutes each). These classes focus on reading and writing in Yiddish, and not on listening and speaking in Yiddish. Those interested in obtaining Yiddish reading proficiency for academic purposes or archival research are strongly encouraged to enroll in these courses.

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, syllabus, handouts, etc.) will be posted to Canvas.

This spring, YIVO is offering one level of reading Yiddish.
