The 14th international Yiddish summer program at Tel Aviv University will take place from June 30 to July 25, 2019. The Naomi Prawer Kadar International Yiddish Summer Program is unique in offering Yiddish instruction at five levels, and in offering cultural programs both on campus and in the vibrant city of Tel Aviv.
