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.

Subject: recording of contemporary hassidic Yiddish

At the Internet site www.talkbank.org one can find recordings and 
transcriptions of 2 young men, speakers of contemporary hassidic Yiddish, 
whom I have recorded and who have given me permission to put recordings of 
their Yiddish on the Internet. To hear them, go to CABANK/YIDDISH

The next time some one tells you Yiddish is dead, you can tell them about 
these young men and/or send them to this site.  There are tens of 
thousands of speakers like them, and their community grows apace. Zelda
