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: Fri, 23 Mar 2012 10:58:22 -0400 (EDT) From: [email protected] Subject: Candles of Song/Liderlikht: Poems about mothers English follows Yiddish Tayere Mendelyaner, Ir zayt ale hartsik farbetn af mayn "blog" Liderlikht: Lider vegn mames, lezeykher mayn mamen, Miryam Perlman Tsuker, z"l, 1914-2012.

Dear Mendelyaner, I invite you all to my blog Candles of Song: Yiddish poems about mothers, in memory of my mother, Miriam Pearlman Zucker, 1914-2012. Candles of song can be found at: http://shevazucker.com/blog. Every week (I hope) I will post one poem about mothers by a Yiddish writer, in Yiddish, transliteration and English translation, accompanied by a brief biography of the poet. The posting thus far are: Week 1: Piously -- Rashel Veprinski Week 2: How Did You Get So Wise, Mama -- Malka Heifetz Tussman Week 3: Mama -- Rajzel Zychlinsky Week 4: My Child Knocks -- Rajzel Zychlinsky Week 5: Mother -- Gitl Schaechter-Viswanath Week 6: From My Slender Limbs; If--Rashel Veprinski Week 7: My Mother --Mani Leyb I hope to have each new posting by 9 PM on Thursdays. I invite you also to read my introduction either in Yiddish or in English which explains the rationale for this project. It is my hope that you will enjoy the poems and that they will become something of a resource for people seeking poems about mothers. _____________________________________________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele.
