YIVO's Max Weinreich Center for Advanced Jewish Studies, established in 1968, is dedicated to education and to the advancement of research in the areas of Jewish life and culture. Named after renowned scholar and YIVO founder Max Weinreich, the Center works to make YIVO's unique resources and its specialized knowledge available to universities and other institutions of higher learning, to encourage study and promote research concerning the life and culture of East European Jewry and related topics, to marshal the intellectual resources in this field of scholarship, and to assist young scholars in qualifying for work in this field.
The Weinreich Center offers graduate level seminars and fellowships
in the fields of Yiddish language and literature and Jewish history, ethnography,
and folklore. It sponsors public
lectures and scholarly conferences and oversees the publication of
journals and books.
Every year, students from all over the world attend YIVO's Uriel
Weinreich Program in Yiddish Language, Literature and Culture, an
intensive summer language course now run in partnership with New York
University.
