MENDELE Yiddish Language and Literature Personal Notices and Announcements July 13, 2009
To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests: 1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance. 2. Send material as plain text: no HTML, other coding, or attachments. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. __________________________________________________________ To members of the Mendele list, 5 weeks ago, just before leaving for to attend my sister's khassene in London, my computer laptop was stolen. Although I had backed up all relevant documents pertaining to my PhD studies and other important data (including interviews), my saved and sent emails were lost. I'm a recent Mendele member - and I had some fantastic help from individuals on the list in the past months. Can I ask those who wrote privately to me if they could forward those emails again, so that I can store them on a remote server? All my questions were in regard to Yiddish songs, sung or heard by survivors in my doctoral study. Please reply to me privately: [email protected] Many thanks Joseph Toltz PhD candidate, University of Sydney __________________________________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele.
