Registration now open for the Yiddish summer program in Paris
The Maison de la Culture Yiddish, located in the heart of Paris, is now accepting applications for its acclaimed summer program to take place from July 7 till July 25.
Mornings will be devoted to formal classes, divided into five levels, emphasizing language skills and, in the more advanced groups, studying literary and historical texts from different periods.
In the afternoons and evenings, the program will include informal cultural activities, such as Yiddish theater, singing, cooking, lectures, tutoring and tours of Paris.
Among the literary works that advanced students will be reading are the Don Quixote theme in Yiddish literature; the writings of the Yiddish author and historian Rokhl Auerbach; the memoirs of Glikl Hamel, a wealthy Hamburg merchant and businesswoman of the 17th century, and classic Yiddish children’s poetry.
