Stanford University: Yiddish Quarters 1-3, Year 1, are currently scheduled for Mondays and Wednesdays Fall 2024 through Spring 2025. These are regular, undergraduate language classes. Any background in Hebrew or German can help a lot, but no prior knowledge is required and there are no prerequisites. They are small classes, and they are happy to have auditors. However, auditors must do classwork and homework as Stanford is intense and goes fast. If you have an interest, sign up! Or, contact Yankl at: jnlvtw@stanford.edu. See Yiddish offerings at Stanford.
Stanford also offers a Second Year Yiddish class if there is a demand, covering the history of Yiddish literature — in Yiddish. This class is for students who can already read to some degree. Questions or concerns? Contact Yankl directly.
UC Santa Cruz: Yiddish classes are offered at UCSC with the first quarter in Winter 2024 and interested students can also continue into a second quarter in Spring 2025. They may offer a third quarter depending on funds and students. All are welcome! Questions or concerns? Contact Yankl at: jlevitow@ucsc.edu and see The Center for Jewish Studies at UC Santa Cruz.
