Yiddish at Rutgers • 
Yiddish has been spoken around the world for over 1,000
years. Through Yiddish you can discover the culture of the
shtetl, immigrant Jewish life in America, old-world folklore,
progressive Jewish politics, hasidic tales, the beginnings
of modern Jewish literature, traditional women's religion—
and more.
Rutgers offers instruction in Yiddish Language and courses on Yiddish Literature
(in translation) and Culture. Yiddish language courses fulfill the language requirement
for the Jewish Studies major. Yiddish literature and culture courses count toward the
requirements for the Jewish Studies major and minor; some of these courses are also
cross-listed with other departments.
 See course listing.
