Date: September 12, 2005 Subject: Vilnius Yiddish Institute As coordinator of the Vilnius Summer Program in Yiddish, I am very happy to let you all know that after missing (unfortunately) one summer, because of financial and administrative reasons (our institute was being integrated into the university long-term), we are now back in business in every sense of the word! Preparations have just been finalized for the 2006 summer program here at Vilnius University. The program will be held from 31 July to 25 August 2006. The teachers are Prof. Jerold Frakes (Los Angeles), Prof. Avrohom Lichtenbaum (Buenos Aires), Prof. Yitskhok Niborski (Paris), and Prof. Anna Verschik (Tallinn). The director is Professor Sidney Rosenfeld of Oberlin, Ohio. There will be a rich supplementary program of lectures, walking and bus tours, seminars, concerts and more, many led by bona fide Litvaks from the Jewish Community of Lithuania who have lived in the region their entire lives. The Vilnius Summer Program in a unique experience that complements rather than duplicates its fine sister programs in the West. This one-month summer course was founded at Oxford University in 1982, and moved by its founding director, Prof. Dovid Katz (now an advisor to the program) to Vilnius University in 1998. For further details as well as the new and correct address for Vilnius Program in Yiddish, Vilnius Yiddish Institute, Vilnius Summer Program in Yiddish please visit http://www.judaicvilnius.com/course.php. Please feel free to contact me about any question you may have. It will be my pleasure to help in any way possible. Olga Bliumenzon
