Mendele Personal Notices & Announcements

December 2, 2010

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.

From: Maddy Simon <bubbamaddy at optonline.net>
Subject: Transliterated texts

I am the leader of a vinkl in Pleasantville, NY.  There are approximately 
15 people in the group, some of whom read Yiddish and some who do not. In 
order to give everyone a chance to read in Yiddish, I transliterate every 
story I present so that the non-Yiddish readers can join in, un kenen 
oysredn  a Yiddish vort (and can speak some Yiddish words).
If you are interested in the transliterations, I would gladly share them 
with anyone.  I use the Yivo system of transliteration. I have 
transliterated stories by I.L.Peretz, Sholem Aleichim and others.


Please contact me at bubamaddy at optonline.net or by phone at 914 631-2198 
if you are interested..

Maddy Simon
