[Susan Lerner <meydele...>]

LET'S LEARN YIDDISH TOGETHER!

FIRST EVER!   YIDDISHKAYT'S ONE-DAY INTENSIVE YIDDISH COURSE AT UJ ON 
NOVEMBER 11!

Building on such well-known models for intensive language instruction as 
the Workmen's Circle's Mameloshn and the intensive Yiddish summer courses 
at YIVO/Columbia and Oxford, Yiddishkayt L.A., in conjunction with the 
University of Judaism, offers Los Angeles' first-ever all-day intensive 
workshop in Yiddish, YIDDISH FAR ALEMAN/YIDDISH FOR ALL, the YIDDISH ULPAN.
         This exciting day of intensive instruction will be offered for the 
first time on Sunday, November 7 at the University of Judaism. Experienced 
and well-known language teachers, including Miriam Koral, Marion Herbst, 
Kaye Goodman, Fima Chesney, and Sheindel Leiberman Reich, will offer 
Yiddish language instruction in two 2-hour sessions at 4 different levels: 
Absolute Beginner (onheyber/no knowledge of Yiddish letter), Advanced 
Beginner ( a bisl/some ability to read Yiddish), Intermediate (a sakh), and 
Advanced (maven).   Participants will also have the opportunity to learn 
and sing Yiddish songs at several times during the day.  Following lunch, 
Prof. Eli Katz, noted UC Berkeley professor, will provide an overview of 
the history of Yiddish language and culture. The day will end with group 
singing, dance instruction, and a live klezmer band.  All this for only $75 
including lunch, advance payment ($85 at the door),  young people (ages 
12-18) pay $50 ($60 at the door), seniors (+65) and students pay $70 ($80) 
at the door.  Don't delay.  This program is sure to fill up quickly!  You
