Yiddish and Jewish Culture: Learn it and Live it this summer!

Apply by February 1!

The Steiner Summer Internship Program offers college students a tuition-free, seven-week immersion in Yiddish culture. The goal of the program is to provide a new generation with Yiddish language literacy; substantive knowledge of the history, literature and culture of Jews in central and Eastern Europe and beyond; and practical models for preservation, research, translation, and artistic expression.

Each intern will participate in two required courses, with undergraduate college credit awarded through the University of Massachusetts. Limited housing subsidies are available, based on need. The Steiner Internship Program runs from June 6 to July 23, 2010, and is open to all full-time university students. Please note: Students who are not enrolled in a degree-granting program as of January 1, 2010 are not eligible.

The Steiner Summer Internship Program for college students is made possible by a generous gift from David and Sylvia Steiner.
