Three of the 700 persons
who have taken a six-weeks
summer course in Yiddish
language, literature and
culture during the 16 years
it has been offered by the
YIVO Institute for Jewish
Research in New York have
been Japanese, according to
Samuel Norich, director of
the YIVO Institute.
Norich said 50 students
from the United States,
Canada, France, West
Germany and Japan com-
pleted the course this past
summer. It is co-sponsored
by the Institute with
Columbia University. He
said the course provides a
rigorous "immersion" Yid-
dish language experience
for students on elementary,
intermediate or advanced
levels and telescopes an
entire year of university
classwork into six weeks.
Participants in the 1983
course came from a variety
of fields, including
medicine, social work, jour-
nalism, Jewish history,
gerontology, music, Ger-
man language, sociolin-
guistics and librarianship,
he reported. In addition to
college and graduate stu-
dents, the 50 included doc-
tors, folksingers and histo-
rians.
Norich reported that
graduates of the summer
program now teach Yiddish
at Oxford University in
Cambridge; Queens College
in Belfast; Kochi University
and Tokyo University; and
Duisberg University in
West Germany. In the
United States, he added,
graduates teach at the Uni-
versity of Southern Califor-
nia in Los Angeles; the Uni-
versity of Michigan; Duke
The long days are no hap-
pier than the short ones.

Norich said 19 men, in-
cluding three non-Jewg; and
31 women, including two
non-Jewish women, took
the course during the 1983
summer. He added that the
five non-Jewish partici-
pants were academics with
one exception.
Norich said one of the
Japanese students will con-
tinue his studies next year
at Yale, and is studying
Russian Jewish history.
The other is a professor of
German at Tokyo Univer-
sity, who attended the
YIVO course on a Fulbright

One of the three Japanese

Yiddish textbook, as well as
excerpts from Yiddish liter-
ature, into Japanese. Dur-
ing the 16 years, the course
has had six non-Jewish stu-
dents from Northern Ire-
land; two from Oxford Uni-
versity; a Pole from the
