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: Tue, 13 Mar 2012 13:39:59 -0500 From: Rochelle Zucker <[email protected]> Subject: Yiddish Stories and Poems on U of Manitoba Judaic Studies Website Recordings of Yiddish Stories and Poems by Women Writers - read by members of the Winnipeg Yiddish Women's Reading Circle are now available on the University of Manitoba Judaic Studies website. (recorded in 2011 and 2012). Have a look and a listen here: http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/arts/departments/judaic_studies/2878.html Included are works by Chava Rosenfarb, Kadya Molodowsky, Sarah Hamer-Jacklyn, Fruma Halpern, Bella Goldworth and Rikudah Potash. The Winnipeg Yiddish Women's Reading Circle meets monthly in order to read, hear, and discuss stories and poems by female Yiddish authors that would otherwise be forgotten. By rescuing the stories of these writers, the participants in the Reading Circle are also able to enjoy listening and speaking their mameloshn, or mother-tongue. The Winnipeg Reading Circle has been remarkably active since its inception in 2001. In 2007, the group published an anthology of English translations of their favourite stories, Arguing with the Storm: Stories by Yiddish Women Writers, edited by Rhea Tregebov (Toronto: Sumach Press and New York: The Feminist Press CUNY). The Reading Circle was also recognized by the UNESCO and was included in its Register of Good Practices in Language Preservation. The stories and poems presented here have been translated into English, but the women who read these stories for you hope that by listening to the original Yiddish, even those who do not understand the language will get an impression of the humour, linguistic musicality, and emotional depth in the Yiddish language and Yiddish literature. _____________________________________________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele.
