Yiddish-Vokh Scholarships/Yiddish-Vokh

Yidish-vokh is an annual weeklong Yiddish-language immersion retreat. It began in 1976 when Dr. Mordkhe Schaechter brought students from the advanced class from the Uriel Weinreich Summer Program to Camp Boiberik so they could spend a weekend immersed in Yiddish. Since then Yidish-vokh has evolved to become the only Yiddish-speaking vacation spot where students, families, and seniors from all levels of observance can come together for a week to speak only Yiddish.

Yiddish-Vokh Scholarships

In order to make Yidish-vokh affordable for as many interested students as possible, the organziers offer a limited number of “pay what you can” scholarships (supported by the Chana Yachness z”l Fund and individual donors). These scholarships are open to anyone.

Deadline for applications: June 21, 2025 | DETAILS
