Fall 2024: Seminars & Electives (in Yiddish)

YIVO’s seminars & electives (in Yiddish) are held live, weekly on Zoom for 10 weeks (10 total sessions, 1.5 hours each). Conducted primarily or entirely in Yiddish, these courses explore topics such as Ashkenazi Jewish history, literature, creative writing, queer theory and gender studies, music, and culture.

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.
