Mendele Personal Notices & Announcements Feb. 16, 2010
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;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. ______________________________________________________________ Date: Sun, 14 Feb 2010 00:01:59 -0500 (EST) From: ZELDA NEWMAN <[email protected]> Subject: recording of contemporary hassidic Yiddish At the Internet site www.talkbank.org one can find recordings and transcriptions of 2 young men, speakers of contemporary hassidic Yiddish, whom I have recorded and who have given me permission to put recordings of their Yiddish on the Internet. To hear them, go to CABANK/YIDDISH The next time some one tells you Yiddish is dead, you can tell them about these young men and/or send them to this site. There are tens of thousands of speakers like them, and their community grows apace.
