Mendele Personal Notices & Announcements Dec. 4, 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. _______________________________________________________________________ In Maddy Simon's notice offering transliterated texts, there was a typographical error in her email address. We repeat the text, but this time with the corrected address. I am the leader of a vinkl in Pleasantville, NY. There are approximately 15 people in the group, some of whom read Yiddish and some who do not. In order to give everyone a chance to read in Yiddish, I transliterate every story I present so that the non-Yiddish readers can join in, un kenen oysredn a Yiddish vort (and can speak some Yiddish words). If you are interested in the transliterations, I would gladly share them with anyone. I use the Yivo system of transliteration. I have transliterated stories by I.L.Peretz, Sholem Aleichim and others. Please contact me at [email protected] or by phone at 914 631-2198 if you are interested.. Maddy Simon ____________________________________________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele. Instead, direct your mail as follows: Material for Mendele Personal Notices & Announcements, i.e. announcements of events, commercial publications, requests to which responses should be sent exclusively to the request's author, etc., always in plain text (no HTML or the like) to: [email protected] (in the subject line write Mendele Personal) Material for postings to Mendele Yiddish literature and language, i.e. inquiries and comments of a non-commercial or publicity nature: [email protected] IMPORTANT: Please include your full name as you would like it to appear in your posting. No posting will appear without its author's name. Submissions to regular Mendele should not include personal email addresses, as responses will be posted for all to read. They must also include the author's name as you would like it to appear. In order to spare the shamosim time and effort, we request that contributors adhere, when applicable, as closely as possible to standard English punctuation, grammar, etc. and to the YIVO rules of transliteration into Latin letters. A guide to Romanization can be found at this site: http://www.yivoinstitute.org/about/index.php?tid=57&aid=275 All other messages should be sent to the shamosim at this address: [email protected] Mendele on the web: http://mendele.commons.yale.edu/ To join or leave the list: http://mailman.yale.edu/mailman/listinfo/mendele _______________________________________________ Mendele mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.yale.edu/mailman/listinfo/mendele
