write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line.
3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has

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.
