Send material as plain text: no HTML, other coding, or attachments; and write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. _______________________________________________________________________ From: [email protected] Subject: Articles on history and culture of Jewish societies in the Far East New Yiddish-English-Russian collection of academic articles published by Ferlag Peter Lang (Frankfurt am Mein): Ber Boris Kotlerman (ed.), MIZREKH - Jewish Studies in the Far East This collection in three languages, English, Russian, and Yiddish, covers in a comprehensive manner the history and culture of the Jewish societies in the Far East, geographically close, yet existing in very different political systems.
