Links/Resources - listening to Yiddish, learning materials/books

[Sedgwick]

I recently came across the following. (For those pages that are not in English, you can use Google Translate to understand what they are offering.)

1. Kan (formerly Voice of Israel) - Israel Radio - "Reka channel" - foreign languages radio broadcasts.
   Audio.

https://www.kan.org.il/live/radio.aspx?stationid=10
choose "Yiddish". Then choose a date, and press Play button.

They broadcast 1 hour a week in Yiddish, on Friday afternoons.
They archive the radio programs. It seems they save the last 6 months' worth.

Seems to be mostly Israeli current events/politics, and discussion of religious / holidays / Torah topics. Two main announcers.

Nice to hear the speech, even though so far I understand only some words here and there.

1. Israel's National Authority for Yiddish Culture.
   The pages are in English, Yiddish, Hebrew.

Main English page:
https://yiddish-rashutleumit.co.il/en/
has info, links etc.

Their page
https://yiddish-rashutleumit.co.il/en/t ... ctionaries

Has links to see PDF textbooks (Weinreich, D Katz etc.), courses, dictionaries etc. (Multiple Languages to Yiddish)

Their Hebrew and Yiddish pages have more links, to radio, press etc.

1. Israel Ministry of Education - page for high school matriculation studies/tests in Yiddish as a subject:

Main page:
https://cms.education.gov.il/educationc ... mafmar.htm

The page is in Hebrew.
Has sample tests, presentations etc.
The most interesting page:
https://cms.education.gov.il/EducationC ... taliem.htm

This has links to self-learning materials, workbooks etc., some with video/audio.
Some books are in Hebrew, some in English.
Including Shalom Yiddish textbook in English, and Mein Yiddish Buch and other workbooks in Hebrew.

Hope this is helpful. Sorry if the information was posted in the past on Duolingo forum - I had not seen it a year ago.

I was revisiting Sedgewick's post of May 2022, where he made available links to yiddish language learning in Israel.

I looked closer at the dictionaries and found some that maybe useful for yiddish duolingo.
Here's a link for all dictionaries: https://yiddish-rashutleumit.co.il/en/t ... ctionaries

In my opinion, the Weinreich dictionary is ideal for duolingo learning.
The Harkavy was published in 1927, and is still in use today, and includes Hebrew.
