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. ______________________________________________________________ I am a New York City based documentary filmmaker. I am working on a film titled IN EXILE about Orthodox Jews who are anti-Zionist. I have been filming this project for some time now - both in Jerusalem and in New York. The subjects of my film primarily speak Yiddish. I am looking for some assistance with Yiddish-English translation and wonder if you can help me find a translator or several translators who would be interested in helping out with this project. I am looking for assistance with: a. Translating previously recorded interviews. And b. Translating in the field, helping to translate interviews (being conducted by me with a Yiddish speaker) I am seeking to work with advanced Yiddish speakers. I am looking to shoot a couple of interviews in the very near future (either this week or next) with some of my yiddish speaking subjects and would be extremely grateful to a translator who would be available to assist me with conducting interviews. The position is not paid, but all involved would be awarded credits in the film. Also, there is a possibility for the work to become paid in the future. Thanks so much for your kind assistance!!
