Language instruction is supplemented by lectures given by leading scholars in the fields of Yiddish language, literature, and culture.
Weekend-trips to Jerusalem, the Negev, and the Galilee, are offered and organized by the School of Overseas Students for an additional fee of 200$ each (limited to currently enrolled university students).
All participants of the Yiddish program have the opportunity to participate in a tour of the Diaspora Museum and a festive evening at the Tel Aviv beach and promenade.
Student housing for participants currently enrolled in a university is available in dormitories adjacent to the campus.
