Jan. 8, 2015
To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests: 1. Send
time-sensitive notices well in advance. 2. Send material as plain text to
victor.bers at yale.edu 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.

I am proud to announce he publication of my book Lashon HaKodesh:
History Holiness & Hebrew (Mosaica Press, 2014) which discusses the
history and religious significance of Jewish languages in general. My
work might of special interest to Yiddish enthusiasts because it
offers a survey of rabbinic attitudes to Yiddish (and other
Judeo-languages) and a concise historical overview of the development
and usage of the language. My book also discusses the infamous
"Language Wars" in pre-State Israel in which Yiddish and Hebrew vied
for dominance in the Zionist movement. There is also discussion of the
role of Yiddish in Jewish thought as a continuation of Lashon
HaKodesh's place as a holy language.

The book can be purchased on Amazon.com
