________________________________ Mendele Personal Notices and Announcements
October 30, 2012 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. ___________________________________ Jean Rawitt [email protected] Date: Oct 28 (2 days ago) I am trying to find someone who speaks Yiddish who might (occasionally) visit (or even just call) my 88-year-old mother for conversations in Yiddish. My mother, who lives on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, spoke Yiddish before she spoke English, although born in this country. She bemoans the fact that she has no one with whom to speak Yiddish, and sometimes speaks to herself in Yiddish just to feel the language. She is an intelligent, well-educated, and delightful woman who is more and more confined to her apartment, and it would be great to find someone kind enough to visit or call for the purpose of allowing her to enjoy the occasional Yiddish conversation. Many thanks, Jean Rawitt [email protected] 212-348-1306 ___________________________________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele.
