Wednesday, August 27 to Tuesday, September 2, 1997
Berkshire Hills Emanuel Camps, Copake, New York

Yugntruf - Yough for Yiddish
presents:
1997 YIDISH-VOKH (all-Yiddish retreat)
Wednesday, August 27 to Tuesday, September 2
at Berkshire Hills Emanuel Camps, Copake, New York

Why is Yugntruf's Yidish-vokh the best summer camp?

Everyone knows that the annual yidish-vokh run by Yugntruf, Youth for
Yiddish is one of the most enlightening, entertaining, relaxing and
affordable summervacations around, whether you go for the whole week
or part of the week. But why? We asked a number of well-known
personalities...

Yosl Young Yiddishist, student and lover of mame-loshn: Other
Yiddish camps are great, but they don't speak enough Yiddish. At the
yidish-vokh, though, everyone speaks it, in an inspiring cultural
setting, with the creme-de-la-creme of the Yiddish world on hand.
My favorite activities; informal lectures by experts on the language,
literature and Jewish history; Yiddish discussion groups on topics
like "Should Jewish children go to secular schools or Yeshivas?",
"Should there be Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem?", and
"Entering the 2nd century of the Forverts." There are Yiddish
classes, too. And how many places can you go where the vast majority
of the Yiddish speakers is young?

Simkhe Sportsman, Yiddish athlete: I love the fact that I get to play

lots of koyshbol (basketball), netsbol (volleyball), hilke-pilke
(softball), and to swim and row daily.. And what a place to jog!

Reyzl Rustic, Yiddish nature-lover: I just love sitting by the
gorgeous lake, breathing in the fragrant flowers and trees, strolling
down hiddenpaths, gazing at the stars and listening to the silence of
nature.

Brokhe Bottomline, bookkeeper: You're missing the real reason!
For as little as $ 225.00, you can stay an entire week, food,
gratuities and round-trip bus travel included! And college students
can get work-study discounts ($125.00). Did I mention it's
affordable?

Soreh Sociable: There's lots of hanging around, shmoozing and
laughing.
Some have become lifelong friends, and even spouses.
(I hope I'm next.)

Kalmen Clapper: clap-clap-clap-clap-clap, bravo, bravo, bis, bis,
hurrah,banzay... [Translation: Talent show! Klezmer band!
Folk-dancing! Campfire singing! Yiddish films!]

Mr. & Mrs. Genug Shoyn Kinder: We love our children. But often we
love them even more when they're productively occupied and out of
our hands, like in the yidish-vokh's part-time, well-run child-care:
sports, arts and crafts, treasure hunts, and skits, all in Yiddish.

Yitskhok Yid: And I feel at home with the kosher food and the
synagogue on the premises.

These are some of the answers we've received.
Come find out for yourself!

CALL FOR PAPERS -- Persons interested in presenting a paper
should submit a one-page abstract, by November 1, 1997

The Yiddish and Ashkenazic Studies Program of the Department
of Germanic Languages and Literatures, at The Ohio State
University, in cooperation with the College of Humanities; and the
Jagiellonian University, in cooperation with the Faculties of
Philosophy and Philology, announce an international
conference on Yiddish and Ashkenazic Studies

ASHKENAZ: THEORY AND NATION

26-29 MAY 1998 THE JAGIELLONIAN UNIVERSITY, KRAKOW, POLAND

This conference focuses on aspects of Ashkenazic Jewry as
nation. Papers may be from any discipline (e.g., literature,
history, linguistics, cultural studies, social anthropology, folklore,
geography, demography, sociology, etc.), and should employ
the theory or methodology of the relevant discipline to the
analysis of Ashkenaz as nation. Papers dealing with Ashkenaz
from a cross-cultural perspective are welcome as well. Papers
presented will be thirty minutes in length, including the
discussion period. Persons interested in presenting a paper
should submit a one-page abstract by 1 November 1997 to:

Professor David Neal Miller or Dr. Annamaria Orla-Bukowska
Yiddish and Ashkenazic Studies Institute of Sociology
The Ohio State University Jagiellonian University
314 Cunz Hall ul. Grodzka 52
Columbus, OH 43210-1229 31-044 Krakow
USA Poland

or by e-mail to: ashke...@brooklyn.net

Abstracts should include title of paper, author(s), affiliation(s),
address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address.
Notification of acceptance will be sent by 30 November 1997.
North American scholars may submit abstracts by 1 October
1997 for notification by 30 October 1997.

Ashkenazic Studies focuses upon the culture and civilization
of Ashkenaz. Ashkenaz (alternatively: Erets Ashkenaz 'the
land of Ashkenaz') is the indigenous name of the home territory
of Central and Eastern European Jewry. From its compact origins
some 1000 years ago in the ShU"M communities along the
Rhine, Ashkenaz grew to cover the second-largest unbroken
language and culture area in Europe. From the outset,
Ashkenazic Jewry defined itself as distinct both from the other
emerging European peoples and cultures with which it was
coterritorial, and from other Jewries. Ashkenaz developed a unique,
internally consistent, and culturally advanced European civilization.
Sharing a confession with non Ashkenazic coreligionists,
Ashkenazic Jewry also participated in the millennia of cosmopolitan
Jewish textuality (sacred texts, commentary and responsa,
commercial contracts, domestic agreements, etc.). Ashkenazic
culture is characterized by a national language (Yiddish); religion
(Judaism); textual tradition; material culture (architecture, dress,
foodways, routes of trade and migration); systems of education,
social welfare, dispute adjudication; politics and ideology; national
literature; high and popular culture.

Please be advised that the 2nd European Conference on Jewish
Education, MA'AYAN II - which had been scheduled to take place
this summer outside Zwolle, Netherlands - HAS BEEN POSTPONED
UNTIL SEPTEMBER in order to take advantage of an unrivalled
learning opportunity for Jewish educators throughout Europe.

DISCUSSIONS ARE UNDERWAY AIMED AT JOINING FORCES
WITH LIMMUD, the British Jewish education conference, which will
take place from 23rd to 28th December 1997 in Manchester, England
(exact dates to be confirmed).

Limmud is the premier UK Jewish learning experience, both for
professional educators and lay persons, attracting over 1000
participants for a five-day, jam-packed programme featuring 600
individual sessions from over 200 of the best known and most
respected Jewish educators from Israel, the US and the UK
(see attached press clippings about their 1996 conference).

Ma'ayan Programme Co-ordinator Alastair Falk and the Limmud
Programme Team are investigating ways to create a specialised
"Ma'ayan Track" geared to the needs of teachers in European
Jewish schools. Participants will have the opportunity to take part
in this track as well as take full advantage of the exhilarating
learning opportunities, entertainment and ruach that Limmud has
to offer.

Further details and registration forms will be available this summer,
so be sure to look for our next mailing in September or keep an
eye on the ECJC website < http://www.ort.org/ecjc >.

If you have any particular suggestions or ideas, please do not
hesitate to contact us at the ECJC London Office.

We sincerely hope this change of plan does not cause you
any inconvenience and we are certain that Jewish education in
Europe would benefit enormously from a combined
MA'AYAN / LIMMUD experience!
