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.
