Mendele Personal Notices & Announcements
Dec. 3, 2009
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.

A talk in Yiddish by Dr. Sheva Zucker, Friday, December 11
11:30 A.M. at Beit Leivik, Dov Hoz 30, Tel-Aviv
The Changing Mission of a Yiddish Magazine
Afn Shvel 1941 - The Present
At its inception in 1941 Afn Shvel was a politically oriented magazine,
the organ of the Freeland League for Jewish Territorialist Colonization
which sought to find a safe haven for Jews in places as farflung as
Australia and Suriinam. Later it became the organ of the newly formed
apolitical League for Yiddish under the editorship of its
executive-director, linguist Dr. Mordkhe Schaechter. As such it was a
platform for Yiddishism, and indeed, even militant Yiddishism. In its
latest gilgul, under the editorhip of Dr. Sheva Zucker, the magazine has
become a non-polemical forum for all those who are interested in Yiddish
and Yiddish culture. It has increased its readership by almost 50%, no
small feat in this day and age when Yiddish readers are diminishing and
major newspapers and magazines in many languages are closing all over the
world.
Dr. Sheva Zucker is currently the Executive Director of the League for
Yiddish and the editor of its magazine Afn Shvel. She is also a teacher
and lecturer and has taught and lectured on Yiddish language, literature
and culture on five continents. She teaches Yiddish in the Uriel Weinreich
Summer Program in Yiddish Language, Literature and Culture under the
auspices of New York University and the YIVO Institute for Jewish
Research in New York City and taught Yiddish and Jewish Literature for
many years at Duke University. She is the author of the textbooks Yiddish:
An Introduction to the Language, Literature & Culture, Vols. I & II and
compiler and producer of the CD "The Golden Peacock: The Voice of the
Yiddish Writer."
