MENDELE Yiddish Language and Literature Personal Notices and Announcements
To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests: 1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance. 2. Send material as plain text: no HTML, other coding, or attachments. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 10:31:35 -0500 From: Mikhail Iossel <[email protected]> Greetings, dear Mendele readers -- Some of you know of the Summer Literary Seminars (SLS), an independent literary and cultural program, one of the world's largest and most dynamic, held each year in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Nairobi, Kenya, among other locales. (Here is the link: www.sumlitsem.org <http://www.sumlitsem.org/>.) I am proud and delighted to be able to inform you that our newest program, to be held in the capital city of Lithuania, Vilnius (Vilna) next summer (from 19 July to 2 August 2009) will be featuring a unique self-contained option: the Jewish Lithuania Program (for details please see: http://sumlitsem.org/lithuania/jewishlithuania.html). Although including many facets of the rich Litvak heritage, there will naturally be a lot of emphasis on Yiddish language, literature, and folklore. In addition to the seminars and lectures offered by the program's director, Professor Dovid Katz of the Vilnius Yiddish Institute, Vilnius University, there will be an exceptionally rich and variegated program of guest presentations, assembled and moderated by Prof. Katz (details at: http://sumlitsem.org/lithuania/jlguests.html). The program is conducted in English, but in the event of Yiddish speakers and writers enrolling, Prof. Katz will be adding workshops and seminars conducted entirely in Yiddish. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions about this or any of our programs. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. SLS would be very glad to hear from you. Sincerely, -- Mikhail Iossel Associate Professor of English Coordinator of Creative Writing Concordia University 1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd. West Montreal, Quebec H3G 1M8 Canada (514) 848-2424x5210 Founder and Director Summer Literary Seminars www.sumlitsem.org <http://www.sumlitsem.org> _________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele.
