Mendele Personal Notices & Announcements
June 17, 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.

This unprecedented website makes accurate, reliable, scholarly
information about Eastern European Jewish life universally available
online free of charge. Since 2008, The YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in
Eastern Europe, published by Yale University Press, has been the only
resource of its kind;providing the most complete picture of the history
and culture of Jews in Eastern Europe from the beginning of their
settlement in the region tothe present. The online edition includes the
contents of the 2008 edition, plus interactive maps, more color
photographs, and rare letters and documents as well as newly added video
and audio clips. To date, this is the first full-fledged online
encyclopedia dedicated to the history and culture of Eastern European
Jewry.
