The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research invites you to two special summer programs:
Wednesday, July 30 at 7:00 pm: One Hundred Years since the Czernowitz Conference: Its Legacy and Its Implications for Today Join us for a symposium on the one-hundredth anniversary of the Czernowitz Yiddish Conference of 1908, which attracted writers, Bundists, Zionists, and other prominent thinkers from Europe and America to discuss language planning, the status of Yiddish, and its role for the Jewish people. The conference proclaimed that Yiddish was a national language of the Jewish people and called for the founding of an institute of Yiddish, which came to pass in 1925 with the founding of YIVO. Distinguished panelists Cecile Kuznitz (Bard College) and Jess Olson (Yeshiva University) will place the conference in its historical context and discuss the current role of Yiddish in Jewish life. Admission: Free Preregistration requested: 212-294-6138 (voicemail) or email [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** Wednesday, August 6 at 7:00 pm: The Sala-Manca Group The Sala-Manca Group was created by Lea Mauas and Diego Rotman, artists born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, who have lived and worked in Jerusalem since 2000.
